🧵So, I started this whole Qwilly effort because I believe the power truly rests with the people. I wrote letters to Congress, then the Supreme Court, even to the White House. Those letters are all here.

Once again, hatred will not be tolerated. I work 24/7/365 to share factual information. One ends up disagreeing with something prompting a whole campaign of hatred.

Learn to disagree, learn to be decent and polite. I do not conform to living in such world where rudeness is normalized.

Be well.

@mollymckew.bsky.social recommended this book. Understand the costs, the risks and the proven methods to politically emasculate dictators, or dictator curious/adjacent, asshole presidents.

I keep circling back to this. But the unsettling part is that Project 2025 has executed the dark version of the proscribed planning. There are more of us, tho. And their folly is infantalizing anyone left of MAGA.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

@altcdc.altgov.info I am a little stunned by this podcast. Salient is an understatement, it seems. About the RIFs. This has to be weeks in the making, so holy shit.

Absolutely. There will be governmental structures to repair and rebuild once the air clears of Trump’s taint. I’m really buying into the need for a 21st century continental Congress to update the US Constitution. The arguments against it are failing the moment.

Am I getting this right? Leticia James potentially got the benefit of a little over 1/3 of a Hooman bribery bag? And that potential benefit was spread out over 30 years? Assuming a 30 year mortgage. SMH
