Viruses in movement…, Resistance in movement…, The US in movement…

[The US is aflame, the people of the US are afire, and indeed, democracy in the US is afire… and where yesterday – following the dramatic day before - was a day of huge drama, as the series of posts on the WSMDiscuss list showed.  (Since the exchange did not appear on all lists, for those on other lists who are interested in following up, please check the WSMDiscuss List Archives at https://lists.openspaceforum.net/pipermail/wsm-discuss/ <https://lists.openspaceforum.net/pipermail/wsm-discuss/>.)

[It’s important at moments like this to try and see the larger picture… and / but also, to look really close-up.  Towards the first, the larger picture, here is today’s post - about yesterday - by Heather Cox Richardson, reflecting on the day’s events; but read it keeping in mind that this post of hers anyway. is very much about Washington DC, where high drama was played out… and not about the US ‘as a whole’.

[And towards the second, I’d like to most strongly recommend that over the next few days, you periodically check the website of the US organisation encuentro5, based in Boston, at http://encuentro5.org/ <http://encuentro5.org/>, for the announcement of the availability of the recording of an amazing, truly incandescent webinar that it organised last night, Boston time, on democracy in the US.  *Please don’t miss this; for me, it was a landmark discussion on the present moment in the US, on the movements that have risen and are rising, located within a large canvas of history… :

Bill Fletcher Jr. & August Nimtz Jr. – and Johanna Fernandez - on 'Threats to Democracy’ - and democracy in construction

Moderated by Joseph Ramsey; check out http://encuentro5.org/ <http://encuentro5.org/>
From its origin in settler colonialism and slavery,  the USA's claim on "democracy" has always been a limited and deformed one.  It has only been due to historic struggles by long-excluded groups, from African Americans, to women, to the poor and working-classes, that core notions of democracy have even been formally extended to encompass most--though never all--of the people who reside in this country.  From mass disfranchisement of the incarcerated, to racialized police violence, to the political marginalization of millions of undocumented residents and workers, the barriers to having one’s "voice" heard within US democracy are structural and pervasive.  And now the COVID crisis further threatens to erode what is left of US democracy, making voting a dangerous act in a new way, and stigmatizing public protest as a public health threat, even as political elites seek to use the pandemic to further suppress the electoral influence of historically oppressed groups.  
Join Shelter & Solidarity Thursday, June 4th from 7-8pm EST with special guests Bill Fletcher Jr. and August Nimtz.  These author-organizer-columnist, and long-time left public intellectuals will help us explore what the COVID crisis--and the recent rebellions against police brutality--mean for democracy in the USA, and why, with all its limits, electoral democracy still matters to the fight for equality, justice, and social transformation.  What are the threats to US democracy today and how are they to combatted?  How can democracy be defended and (re)claimed in the cause of social justice? We'll be joined by special guest co-host Johanna Fernandez.

The large picture today is of a president increasingly isolated as protests increase and establishment figures turn against him and the politics he represents. 

That large picture is made up of many individual moments.

Protests continued for a tenth day today in the face of ongoing police brutality. That statement is going to anger some readers, but hoo, boy, the images of the police attacking peaceful protesters and journalists are going to be in textbooks in a few years, and our great grandchildren are going to ask how on earth this happened.

Confusion over who the troops in Washington, D.C. actually are turned into anger today. The mayor of the city, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, rejected the White House push to take control of D.C. police, and did not request any help from outside the city. Nonetheless, the streets have been full of men in unidentifiable uniforms without name tags, both customary on military personnel. 

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi demanded from Trump “a full list of the agencies involved and clarifications of the roles and responsibilities of the troops and federal law enforcement resources operating in the city. Congress and the American people need to know who is in charge, what is the chain of command, what is the mission, and by what authority is the National Guard from other states operating in the capital.”

Contrary to reports from those present, Attorney General William Barr said today that the protesters in Lafayette Square on Monday whom police cleared out with tear gas and rubber bullets were violent, and that officials “could not continue to protect” federal property. Barr was, perhaps, responding to a tweet from Richard W. Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration. On Tuesday, Painter tweeted “Attorney General Barr personally ordered an attack on peaceful people in the courtyard of a church. He should be impeached and removed from office immediately for that and everything else he has done to destroy the rule of law in America.” 

There are also small—very small-- cracks in Trump’s Republican support in Congress. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) praised General James Mattis’s statement opposing Trump and said she is not sure she’ll vote for the president's reelection in the fall. “I think there are… important conversations that we need to have as an American people amongst ourselves about where we are right now," she said. Trump immediately vowed he would work to unseat her when her term is up in 2022.

The Senate Intelligence Committee approved a measure that would require presidential campaigns to report to federal authorities any offers made by foreign individuals to influence elections, including campaign donations or coordination with a campaign. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is following Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) in his deep concern over foreign attacks on our elections. The bill passed thanks to Democrats and the crossover vote of Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), but Senate Republicans plan to defeat this provision when it comes to the floor of the Senate. 

And Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), has said he will block two of Trump’s appointees from nomination until the president adequately addresses his removal of the inspectors general of the Intelligence Community and the State Department. The White House has refused to account for those firings, instead reiterating that the president has the authority to fire the men. Notably, though, the stalled nominations were for the undersecretary for arms control and international security at the State Department and the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, important positions both, but probably nothing that will badly hamper the president. If Grassley had wanted the threat to have teeth, he could have put a hold on judicial appointments, which Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has continued to push through at a cracking pace even during this crisis week in American history.

Trump is literally behind a wall, now, as officials have ordered the White House compound barricaded behind fences, and metal enclosures as if it were a military base. The Washington Post wrote: "The White House is now so heavily fortified that it resembles the monarchical palaces or authoritarian compounds of regimes in faraway lands — strikingly incongruous with the historic role of the executive mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, which since its cornerstone was laid in 1792 has been known as the People’s House and celebrated as an accessible symbol of American democracy.” 

The Secret Service says the changes are in effect only until June 10.
