(π§΅) Iβm going to say some things that may cost me followers. Thatβs only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving Americaβbecause without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administrationβs degradation of DOJβs vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."
The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.
