Charles Bursell Presents

In the never ending arms race between private profit and government regulations there can be no winner. It’s time to chuck them both, especially with the likes of AI, the climate crisis, and fascism breathing down our neck.  

Every odious offense of the regime falls under two basic themes: gut federal services and take dictatorial control of what’s left. Don’t let the daily avalanche of horrible headlines overwhelm you. Historians can sort out the details, we need to stay focused on th...

Some Democrats are finally starting to talk tough about taking down the regime, jumping in front of the parade and pretending to lead. If that’s what it takes, fine, welcome to the fight. Also, is the Orange Menace a big joke or is he genuinely dangerous? It’s not...

A “big tent” coalition to defeat The Regime? Fine. But if we want a real democracy, ditch that metaphor for a better one: “build a better mousetrap.” Also: it’s time to force Congress’s hand on impeachment. Plus: a starter list of “know your rights” resources. 

YouTube pundits, stop...

The fascist Regime continues its authoritarian agenda in defiance of Congress, the courts, international law, and public opinion. Impeachment is the only solution at this point. Luckily, Charles Bursell has a plan!  ...

The Regine has crossed a red line by tossing innocent people into foreign concentration camps, brazenly defying orders from the nation’s highest court, and offering only obvious lies and propaganda in defense. Now is the time for Americans to show their contempt a...

It’s entirely possible that within days the Insurrection Act and even Martial Law will be deployed in order to terrorize immigrants and suppress peaceful protest. Without panicking, the pro-democracy resistance must plan strategy and tactics going forward. 

The Regime is openly preparing for violence against street protesters. As such, it is time for mass consumer boycotts and labor strikes to take a central role in the movement. For that, we’ll need a strong foundation of mutual aid. 

Now that we can stop wetting ourselves over tariffs (or can we?) let's try to get clear-eyed about our current dire situation. Convicted felons are openly discussing war crimes in the Oval Office, the cold-as-ICE American Gestapo is running amok, and The Supreme C...

The whole damn government is burning while Democrats, media, and major institutions watch helplessly. Good. Let them all go down together. They’re responsible for the rot that bought us here in the first place. 

With a stunning Wisconsin win, Cory Booker’s dramatic filibuster, raucous Town Halls and rallies, and an unbeaten streak in the courts, the resistance is having a watershed moment. Seemingly undeterred, the Regime continues its constitutional crime spree, its dang...

We in the pro-democracy movement need to state our demands strongly and clearly. Here are my top ten suggestions. Spoiler alert, number one is impeachment. Also: perjury, war powers, and bad grammar in Signalgate. And: the courts are with us so far.

Notes from Randy Shaw’s classic “The Activist’s Handbook” on organizing direct action. Also, some good news, events and boycott updates, some brief thoughts on Spring Elections and the Houthi attack ...

Boycotts & Rallies. Spring Elections. Punching Nazis. The Tesla Takedown. White House Extortion. Your Protesters’ Rights. Bernie & The Dems. Playing Offense & Defense. The Courts. New McCarthyism.   

The abuse of language is a lethal tool in the abuse of power. What will you say when that reporter puts a mic in front of your face? Are you ready? Advice on keeping the fascists’ receipts for future generations. Also, continuing boycotts and rallies, and Spring E...

I believe we can win the war for democracy in America, but just how bad can it get before we do? We need the courts to hang strong, a “mad as hell” turning point from someone in the media, and it’d be great if the Dems shattered into pieces. Then at least maybe th...
