There'll be no more elections unless the neoconfederacy is stopped... there's New York, and the actual certification ahead of us. I suppose there are sleuths everywhere investigating just how this happened. I guess they may have acquired the computer codes.
It can't be catastrophizing if it's a real catastrophe, witch hunts are sometimes necessary: there are witches! and lastly it's not paranoia if they're really after you
Catastrophising is not actionable & does no good. We have a critical situation & we need to be prepared to fight. I don’t know what or how or if we can change anything, but I’m not willing to give up all hope. This is bigger than me & my feelings
Think about this. Laws are going to mean nothing. They mean nothing now, as relates to letting this slow moving coup progress virtually unfettered. Dems/Biden did nothing to actually protect us by law, by expanding SCOTUS, and kicking Garland out early on. That was ground zero for stopping this.
March on the streets, call your state reps and tell them to recount, for starters. Ask them how they will protect Americans from the fascists gutting our laws/agencies/institutions, etc.
With all due respect John, there is exactly NOTHING valuable watching the Trump administration posturing before Inauguration day.
I see no point in engaging with any news until actual decisions get made. Then I'm happy to witness & wait to see if my personal red lines get crossed.
This "catastrophizing" label is insane. When I hear it, I immediately think either:
1. No history knowledge. History shows VERY probable end, step by step manual
2. DENIAL
You cannot not see that mild symptoms turned into VERY bad bloodwork results & you have 20 missed calls from the doctor.
I dip into mainstream news outlets to see how they're covering T.
He's all news, all the time. Would that be true if Kamala had won?
Most shocking is the disingenuous, context-free, history-free tone. One breathless headline delivered after another. No accountability to their audience whatsoever.
John, have you seen this letter to Kamala Harris? It needs to be shared everywhere and everyone needs to be calling their members of Congress to demand #Recount2024
Same people who told me I was panicking in 2016 are telling me I’m baselessly panicking again. Despite the fact that everything I feared in 2016 has materialized.

Should I just camp out there for the next 4 years? 🥴
At this point I should assume the unimaginable, so if we're spared, I can consider it a pleasant surprise 🍵
The Gaetz thing...yikes.
But it will be bumpy for a while.
“Simply” amending the constitution requires ratification by 3/4 (38) of the States. Think about that.
Trump can do some crazy shit from the throne, but deconstructing our entire way of life is a very heavy lift.

They marched for 9 days! Protested in Parliment!

Times like this we need to treat every small win as a big deal. That’s how we slowly regain our breath…and our footing.
Thomas and Alito-no. They’ll side with him no matter what.
Kavanaugh-wild card
Roberts and Barrett - Seem to have their limits. But I don’t know what they are.
Safe to say we won’t be able to predict anything. Wait and see.

Some people seem to be wearing really effective Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses… 😮💨
