Wait… by pardoning the J6ers, Trump has directly provided “aid and comfort” to enemies of the constitution. Which is both the constitutions’ definition of treason, and disqualifies thin from office clearly under the 14th amendment.

The only thing that can save us from trump is making the gop on Capitol Hill understand they will lose their next election if they don’t back away from maga. We only need a few to break him.

I’m physically sickened that our government thinks it’s ok to disappear a human being to El Salvador with no due process. If trump was treated the same way by the legal system, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

@represent.us you are in the best position to save America from autocracy. We need to start organizing to primary GOP politicians who don’t rein trump in. See my recent string of posts. We can’t fix the system if it has been dismantled before the midterms. Time to engage

Resisting the autocratic creep of the Trump administration isn’t a partisan thing. It’s just about our constitution and our freedom. If you can’t understand that, you are a HUGE part of the problem.

I’ve been thinking about this moment in politics through the same lens that brought me to my concept for ROAM… and I think the solution to our short term political ills can be addressed by the same kind of non partisan thought… 1/

What do we do if Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has already been killed in prison?

loving the resitsance, but turning out in the streets doesnt do anything unless we have an ASK. What specifically do we want our politicians to do? If we cant articulate that, we cant hold them accountable. youtu.be/JjlTiny8waY

We cant just complain about Trump. Its all of his enablers that are at fault here as well. Starting with the Senate GOP. Let THEM know we are going to hold them accountable

I just discovered Something actually good to do on twitter! When someone says something insane and untrue (80%of posts) use @grok to ask their AI to instantly fact-check them.

Let’s be SUPER CLEAR: Standing up for Ukraine does not make you a traitor. Siding with Putin DOES.

Its not just our attorneys general that should be acting to stop this. Its blatant corruption. Its unacceptable. we should be more mad. More protests of tesla dealerships are needed, and if there is a way to peacefully impede SpaceX we need to do that too. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-wi...

I know that “#RESIST” is a simple easy to grasp concept… but it’s starting to piss me off, because it isn’t a call to DO anything useful! If we want to FIX our democracy we need to #votethemout if they Don’t support #roam. Our votes and the threats thereof are our power. We need to organize

Everyone is saying "we must stand up" or "Resist"... and in the fact of a legitimate burgeoning autocracy, that isnt a "partisan" thing: Its an "American" thing to expect our public servants to adhere to the constitution. But what are you actually gong to DO about it? Posting #resist does NOTHING

Tesla boycott is having real effects. Do the same with TWITTER!

Make America, “America”Again

Should we be outraged by the administration sending people to foreign prisons with no due process? Absolutely. My question for you however is: after 9-11 we shipped “terrorists” to Gitmo without trial for years, how is this different? Are we able to object now in a way we couldn’t then?

Whenever you see a politician you can’t stand doing something deplorable, keep in mind that said politician is SUCCESFUL in their district. Our system selects for deplorables, being a deplorable is a WINNING strategy.

Can you imagine if Trump was both authoritarian AND intelligent? We’d be screwed. I think we are going to look back and consider ourselves lucky that the guy who showed us how vulnerable we are was such a dolt.

The only thing that can stop our aspiring dictator is GOP senators, who fear for their job if they oppose him. But our senators work for US, they need OUR votes and they WILL respond to public pressure. If you have a GOP senator representing you… THAT is your target. Not Elon, not Donald. #ROAM
