“I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. … 1/2

You guys need people with balls to be candidates, lawyers, pollsters, etc. I would recommend people like me, with backgrounds in military service 5+ years, ENLISTED (SGT up to CSM), with 2 or more deployments in combat areas. 120 ASVAB score. Vet about 20 and let em rip.

Dems need to create our own version of the "French Resistance." We can no longer sit on our hands and watch this shit show destroy our fragile democracy. We need a strong prominent Dem to come forward and be a defining leader to resist this authoritarian president. Someone that can rally the masses.

cdespres.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ps… anticipating more demonstrations- followed by trump bluster about enemies of the state - then state of emergency - followed by martial law - followed by ‘temporary suspension’ of elections while ‘voters are vetted’… If - IF we have elections, only a fraction of citizens will be allowed to vote.

cdespres.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree. Fascists really don’t give a damn about laws unless it’s the ones (dictates) THEY make up. And those laws have little to do with themselves. The only law for themselves and their toadies is absolute loyalty. Absolute loyalty.
So yes, it’s going to take a lot more than lawyers and courts.

educatorts.bsky.social•3 days ago

You are a hero, Marc. Anyone who doesn’t know it yet, will know it soon.
The more crap that our current government regime throws against the wall, the harder you and your team work.

We the People thank you. 🫶🏼🇺🇸

Shakespeare’s line, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” is spoken by barbarous, anti intellectual goon who part of coup plot. The disintegration of the rule of law is always a primary objective of a would-be tyrant.

bowprow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Excellent letter Attorney Elias. All citizens should realize that President Trump cannot make or change laws by executive order. Changing laws are within the purview of the Legislative branch, period.

This one might be Trump but we really need to start using Peter Theil's name when it comes to presidential decisions. Trump is usually golfing. He just signs things that get put in front of him by the Heritage Foundation. Roger Stone is a backup name.

In many parts of the world, the belief in supernatural stuff (god, angels, demons, etc., etc.) is harmless. Only in Nazi America, the manmade supernatural things and mythologies, like god, jesus, etc., in both parties, but mostly in the Nazi Party, are destroying your country and might start WWIII..
