Eyeing Tuesday 3/4 and the fake SOTU as the next major action. It’s all about numbers. Find a meet up, get your eyes off your device, and show up. They think we’re expendable NPCs to off by the thousands in their kiddieo game. Show them reality isn’t so simple.

GOP reps will do their damndest to hide, but they need to feel the heat. In red zones, the political, social & economic costs of bringing it could be steep; we need to lead the way and create cover for those whose reticence about speaking out is well ground in fear of retribution.

Remember that trump is lil more than a B movie mob boss running a protection racket on friends n foes alike. Create chaos that threatens all, force all to come groveling for relief, kiss the ring, pledge loyalty. Never has there been a more “divided we fall” moment.
