🧵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.

James, it is super important that it’s coming from a STATE elected official in my opinion. States right’s, right?!?

Lmao at no point here does she say "No, there are no photos of Donald Trump with half-naked young women," she just goes straight to attacking Whitehouse. I'm not sure how she could've made him look guiltier unless she'd actually thrown the original photos at the senators.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

@muellershewrote.com Hi!
Do you know if Congress can call Stephen Miller in to answer for himself under oath?

The White House aide equates opposition to Trump’s agenda with terrorism—and pushes for the use of state power to suppress it.

If I am slightly correct on Mr. P, he has some clues to how we course correct our congress’ learned helplessness. Please give due consideration to his opinions.

Worth reading: Judge Immergut’s decision in Oregon v. Trump, granting a TRO enjoining DJT from federalizing the Oregon Nat’l Guard and deploying them to Portland. I link it at the next post in this thread, followed by some thoughts. (1/18)

In another lifetime I worked a destination restaurant with a gal that was serving part time to save money. Was planning to go to flight school to be a fighter pilot. She was badass. Can’t be sure, but if Amy is that gal, she is an impressive person.

Civil rights efforts historically required sacrifices. John Lewis. The dog attacks. @owasow.bsky.social has receipts for the impact remaining peaceful made. On ELECTIONS. Protests were thoughtfully executed. Be safe y’all. Be brave. For our most vulnerable and our children.
