I'd say a HUGE step would be for Democracy Forward to come over to Bluesky! I looked for an account and saw they are still on X but not here yet. 😟

cosmicsophia.bsky.social•105 days ago

Read this today! Thank you for what you are doing! ✊Will there be an account for Democracy Forward here on Bluesky? What can we do as citizens to get involved & support? I worked hard as activist during term 1 & now looking to see what & how I can do to #Resist.

This is awesome - thank you! How can lawyers in private practice contribute? We have specialties that are boring/old hat to us. Mine is administrative law (APA, FDCA) and litigation involving regulation and regulated products. There are many of us who want to help.

Will sound legal challenges hold up in court in this new environment? Or will the Leader exert his authority to have these suits dismissed for whatever grounds they choose to cite?

jazzisblue.bsky.social•106 days ago

I question your faith in the system. 4 years after the traitor incited an insurrection he walks free and is going to be the president again. All they have to do is throw it to the clearly corrupt Supreme Court where victory surely awaits. I would love to understand why I'm wrong about this.

debbeec.bsky.social•107 days ago

lcarpy.bsky.social•107 days ago

Mark, I hope this does something, because truthfully, I’m scared shitless for a future and our kids. I feel of the Democrats have also failed us.

middlemolly.bsky.social•106 days ago

What do you think the Dems should have done in the past 9 days?

kayellen48.bsky.social•106 days ago

Dems need to find enough electors who are willing to be faithless. And electors who can be disqualified because they participated in the insurrection and/or hold an office of trust or profit under the US. Article II, Sect 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution. This needs to happen B4 states certify them.

middlemolly.bsky.social•105 days ago

It seems like Harris would need 42 faithless or illegal Repub electors. You're right that the Dems would have to spearhead that effort... not sure how possible that is.

kayellen48.bsky.social•105 days ago

The chances of that working are slim to none. But in states like Michigan with a Democratic governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Democratic control of it's legislature, but voted for trump by a very slim margin, it should happen if any of the electors can be disqualified.

sonyaann1.bsky.social•107 days ago

Thank you!

logos-descends.bsky.social•107 days ago

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky, for those fleeing there. Folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).

hossdog.bsky.social•107 days ago

Remember when trump said people didn't need to vote. That he already had the votes. Anyone investigating the cheating?

bll4ever.bsky.social•86 days ago

What gets us is that SCOTUS can choose which parts of the Constitution they want to ignore (ie 14th Amendment) or reinterpret to hurt many Americans. How much more should we as Americans take when our constitution is being destroyed by extremists right before our eyes? 😷

bll4ever.bsky.social•86 days ago

caseyssthnblue.bsky.social•107 days ago

I’m afraid he’s going to use the military against us. He’s already telling the DOJ to get on board w his agenda or get out. Can he be arrested and charged as a sitting president if he tries to overthrow the country?

yungkark.bsky.social•107 days ago

and when the military says no?

caseyssthnblue.bsky.social•106 days ago

I hope they do 🙏🏼he said he was replacing high ranking military officers the other day.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-team-drawing-up-list-pentagon-officers-fire-sources-say-2024-11-13/

aprilisfedup.bsky.social•107 days ago

Nope. The SCOTUS saw to that with their recent immunity ruling.

samiamb.bsky.social•106 days ago

Even before that awful USSC decision, arresting a sitting president would be impracticable and constitutionally dubious. OTOH, once bullets start flying, the Constitution arguably takes a back seat.

bll4ever.bsky.social•86 days ago

No. Unfortunately, SCOTUS knighted him king. 😷
