Strongly recommending the history lesson from @hcrichardson.bsky.social in her November 22 Letter From an American (available on Substack or as a podcast). The past can explain the present. At times it's a depressing repetition of the failures of the past; but there are successes to repeat as well.

Murder. The United States Navy and possibly other military branches as well as the intelligence community and West Wing staff all now implicated in murder. It cannot be permitted to define us. Impeachment is the only course until the DOJ and the Judge Advocates can free themselves from compromise

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.
They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

I don't expect his Klown Kar Kabinet to initiate the 25th until he turns on each of them with bottles of ketchup - - but someone in Congress must stand up for the integrity of the country and the good of the nation and file Articles of Impeachment.

Very sad listening this evening to PBS radio coverage of the new Epstein email releases. Suspect we have a right wing billionaire stepping up to fund its operations resulting in a new editorial slant on all government coverage. Another major media outlet falls.

Am looking to join a watch group for Ken Burns' PBS documentary of the American Revolution. Great timing not just because it's the 250th anniversary. Could some knowledgeable Bluesky person get a spot organized for discussion? @pbs.org

Protest in DC 20-22 November. 20th is Congressional visits, the last day before they break for Thanksgiving. 21st is a veterans rally. 22nd is a massive rally and Dropkick Murphys will be there. Join the Fam of Liberty any day that you can. If you cannot make it all 3 days, be there Saturday.

FUN FACT:
My favorite part of tonight's election results is that all three of the major trump endorsements (Ciattarelli, Miyares, and Cuomo) LOST bigly.
And trump handed out 53 down-ballot endorsements in New Jersey and Virginia. THEY ALL LOST.
Every. Last. One.

The overwhelming support for Prop 50 may convince the Dodgers, or at the least all of its players from recent immigrant families, to refuse a WH invitation. It's what the fans would clearly want

Sent this note originally posted by me elsewhere to @gomez.house.gov, the member of Congress representing the district housing Dodger Stadium all its neighbors and so many of its fans.
Just ask yourself, how many players, managers, staff, Stadium workers are those ICE will stop to demand papers

The footage may be useful even sooner than that. It could help exonerate those DOJ charges. Then, down the road, it could buttress civil suits in the fashion of Bivens, or otherwise for deprivation of civil rights while acting under color of federal law.
