It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In an abrupt & massive 180, after months of them courting her, my close friend had a job offer retracted this week. It was from a non-profit that suddenly can't count on grant money, so may not be able to fund the position. Of course it's a HIGHLY radical organization, this Senior Dog Sanctuary. 😢

Steve Bannon did a Sieg Heil at CPAC. I'm a 3rd generation Holocaust survivor. My grandparents met in a Concentration Camp. My grandfather's wife & young daughter were murdered. My grandmother's brothers were murdered. Her mother died in her arms from starvation. Is THIS what life in America is NOW?

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

1. 🧵Children who arrive at our borders on their own depend on a set of legal protections so they can be transferred from Border Patrol to protective custody provided by a different federal agency, where they can access basic services like adequate shelter, food, water, and medical care.
