option for states to leave the union. We need to explore what that means. Cuz I think our country is over, and we're just marching towards violence. Lots and lots more violence.

Mr Conway help. People need to start talking about a national divorce. I have no idea how we can put this country back together. And I'm done being tethered to people who want to harm me. Texas versus white was litigated after the civil war and clearly says that the consent of the states is one

We have to consider how to break up with each other. Texas versus white was litigated after the civil war and clearly says one option for breaking up is the consent of the states. How can we do this peacefully?

I don't want to be tethered to people who want to harm me.

their poo.

Texas v White was litigated after the civil war, and that Supreme Court said there are two ways to leave the union. A violent successful revolution, which Texas did not have, or the consent of the states. We all have to focus on that last phrase. How can we end this peacefully?

We need to get our brains around the fact that we can't come back from this. We have to start talking to each other and are elected officials about a way for the states to separate. That's right we need a good old divorce law. I'm fine with it being no fault. I don't have to push anyone's nose into

If your crazy uncle starts ranting about how Portland is burning, send him to this handy website.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

Please think how we can separate from these crazies without violence. Please think about how we may not have the choice of remaining in a political union with people who literally call us terrorists, who open state that they want us gone. Please do not continue thinking this is business as usual.

Agreed. Not sure if there is evidence that poorly trained LEOs are more brutal but I do worry about that.

Still you are absolutely correct.

I mean, that or 5 year old footage.

It's not brains they lack. It's character and courage. Yay Gov. Stitt! I hope he isn't harmed by Trump for speaking the simple truth.

Resurgent labour party snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

NotoriuousKBJ.bsky.social @notoriuouskbj.bsky.social · 1d

An off ramp or are we doomed to jog towards violent civil war? Why do we all think we have no choice but to remain in a union with people who only want to harm us.

You guys need to stop covering this like it's some how within a range of normal. It. Is. Not.

Please start doing some deep dives into exit paths. What does Texas v White say about how states can leave the union (spoiler it says a successful revolution OR consent of the states). Could we legislate

Definitely her.

Read Texas v White. It mentions that states could secede with a "successful" revolt or "the consent of the states." I don't want to be tethered to people who want to hurt me. Let's have a divorce, and try to do it nonviolently.

@aoc.bsky.social Texas v White says states can secede via a "successful" revolt or the "consent of the states." I believe that last line is critically important. I'm sick of being tethered to people who only want harm for me and mine. I want a divorce because this is becoming terribly dangerous.

Taxation without representation.

NotoriuousKBJ.bsky.social @notoriuouskbj.bsky.social · 3d

We have to break up. Not civil war. We need to talk to our legislators and get them to realise this is not business as usual. Legislate a nonviolent exit path.

We are a free people and we should not be tethered to those who only want to see us harmed.

Why not let the electorate have what they voted for?

NotoriuousKBJ.bsky.social @notoriuouskbj.bsky.social · 4d

We are a free people and we should be able to sever (without violence) the bonds that keep us tethered to others who seek to harm us.

Texas v. White clearly says states can only leave the union with successful revolution (violence) or "the consent of the states (nonviolent).

Hello? Hello! I'm fairly positive I am in the wrong Universe. I need to speak to the manager, please. I asked for a mildly interesting Universe but this one is clearly ALL F'd up. I'm definitely going to need an immediate transfer to anyplace more functional and my money back.
