They don’t announce they are going to suspend the constitution they just stop following rule of law. No one is going to tell you “this is the moment they’ve suspended the constitution” in effect we are already in the space where that has happened and we need to start to act like it as a population. - ThreadSky

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised...

It will be streamed behind a paywall.

The revolution will not go better with coke
The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath
The revolution though, will put you in the driver's seat

They don't stop following the rule of law. They appropriate the rule of law. They become the rule of law. That's what's so dangerous about an openly criminal regime. They don't fear the law because they believe they are the law.

I know a part that the right wing loves about the Constitution, it still allows slavery for prisoners - let's watch that part play out next.

I'm wagering with my firefighter friend - who voted MAGA - that Trump and Musk are going to try to replace FEMA workers and firefighters with prisoners.

And the next step is???? …. Like millions of people are waiting for someone who makes sense to take charge and come up with a plan other than yelling outside government offices. DNC and AFLCIO joining forces for a general strike or a series of general strikes in critical cities would be nice. But .

The next step is state governments drawing a line in the sand.

I like it! Do you have suggestions how we can help them?

cv-danes.com•20 days ago

Call your state reps and start putting pressure on them. Municipal folks, too, so they can direct the heat upwards :-)

Ok. Pressure on them to do what? What is the ask? My state and local reps are GOP but I call them anyway. (I’m in NC and I can pass along the ask to various NC groups I’m in.)

Pressure them to not cave to federal overreach. The states have a lot of power within their borders! Remind them of that.

And if your reps are GOP, remind them of their love for state's rights, which Trump will trample all over.

I like lines that are more permanent than shifting sand

I think the energy and desire is there, the question is giving it a shape to make itself manifest. I also think there's an element of people not wanting to *just* march in streets holding signs and shouting slogans, there needs to be a more concrete ask and target for action from whoever gives one.

That happened when SCOTUS stopped using the law to justify its decisions.

Even if they *did* announce it, it would immediately be met with a million stories pondering whether they actually mean it and what it all "really" means.
