Another great missive from William Boot. Rumor has it that Trump was heard to say, "I hear this guy is getting popular. Maybe we should invite him to Mar-a-Lago sometime to play a round of golf."

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress" FD

Bluesky is an angry sky tonight. Who isn't enraged? Even loyal Trump voters (x 3) are angry at seeing the gov't destruction by boys 19-14 years olds. I encourage you to nurture your best selves. Above all, know who is fighting on your side. Stop the circular firing squad. Now. Tonight.
