It’s not hard to know. We are, in fact, on the precipice.

Hard to know how close we are to the precipice

The institutions will be so badly damaged that it will take generations to undo the damage if all citizens are in agreement.
Otherwise, there may be no going back.
This is one of the most consequential moments in history.

Trump has little patience and wants wins
He’s a very sore loser so he’ll make court defeats into victories by ignoring the rulings
Who’s gonna arrest him?
He’s immune.
Elon was NOT on the ballot. He was NOT elected.
We are seeing the illusion of our government; how fragile/tenuous it truly is.
It is the personification of our will, and our will is weak (and stupid).
The Russian civil war lasted 4 years. I wonder how long ours will?
We fell over the edge when Musk was allowed access to systems and code.
Theft, breaking laws.
Now we are drowning.
One thing is for certain though… At this rate, we won't have a constitutional Republic in two years much less four.
In fact, I'm not confident you have a constitutional republic now.😔
Civil War is coming
#RiseUp to take America back before it is too late!
We are like Wile E. Coyote, suspended in midair over the canyon of no constitution.
We are way over the precipice.
Never to return.
Nothing could be more obvious.
- Gutting Abortion Access
- Mass Deportation
- Abusing Warrantless Surveillance
- Unleashing Undue Force on Protestors
- Severely Limiting Voting Access
- Censoring Critical Discussions in Classrooms
- Rolling Back Trans Rights
- what's next?

It's time for a #RudeAwakening
Billionaires persuade you with a little convenience, then manipulate you, to destroy your local economy.
They use you for their greed
We don’t need them.
Vote with your purse or wallet & help yourself & your neighborhood
Support small & local businesses
2) The garbage that Musk writes is no longer shocking. That’s how a man with power intoxication writes.
The bitter irony of @lizcheney.bsky.social having to defend the judiciary against the Administration's expansion of Unitary Executive Theory to its logical extreme: rule by fiat.
'Judges aren't allowed to tell the King how to rule'
That is when we go over precipice
When the Executive violates the Constitution and Laws with intention and impunity and the VP starts spouting off how the Courts have no say about it, we are well over the edge.
Asking for Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, California, etc.
If the executive branch ignores the Constitution, that is a breach.
It does not necessarily mean that State constitutions are not still in place.
But it sets the stage for whatever follows. I hope We The People have the strength of Ukraine
Unlike many contracts, there is a lot of flexibility built into the US Constitution. Both parties can agree and grow and/or shrink parts of the Constitution. The key is the agreement.
At this moment it's being stretched. A lot. By one group.
It would make 1861-1865 look like a Sunday afternoon picnic😢
A.bout 40% of the military identifies as non-White. Jimmy Ray from AL might want to shoot somebody's abuela, but her grandson standing next to Jimmy Ray might not be too keen about that
We are over the edge.
But at last, you are realising the sheer enormity of what has happened.
Why are Republicans okay with the destruction & looting of our country by a South African sociopath?
What is the endgame when they cede all control to an unelected billionaire?!
Boiling frogs.
This one is too heavy. It’s most likely going to get very serious, very dark and difficult soon. It already has honestly. It’s been a decade monitoring this alone. We need help and action.
Starting in 2016, I focused on reading about Germany in the 1930s. My 🇨🇦 father fought with the Allies from 1939 till 1945.
When you study the rise of fascism in Germany, it's easier to recognize the 🍊💩 playlist and the speed at which it's running.
That floaty feeling...
The wind rushing by...
We raced past that precipice weeks ago
It is going to have to be new.

So… no law and no order 🤷♂️
The transition between playing the victim to becoming one ain't much fun.
Carry on.
I listened to you yesterday with Sarah Longwell. You have, I think, come to the same conclusion that I came to in my gut years ago. I knew, just knew, that a coup d’état was coming. Once Trump’s puppet strings became entangled in the hands of the real power, it was inevitable.
