Unrepentent. Fuck Trump, he's a Russian plant. Americans will not tolerate a dictatorship.
Would somebody wake me up when the real resistance starts? TIA...

It's time for America to start demanding that the military live up to oath they all took. No more "Thank you for your service." Let's try, "Shame, shame on you all!"

I'm still not convinced that there won't be another election, so talk of a third term is moot to begin with.
Ignore the third term talk - it’s meant to distract you, and it’s working.

“No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

I keep saying this...
“No politician would act like this if he wanted to be reelected.”

Yeah. I think they’re hoping they won’t need to worry about reelection…

I have been off Bsky for about two weeks due to work and I've had to suffer the abuses of the current administration in silence, but today I'm back and the first thing I want to shout out to eveeryone is this because this is fucking dangerous!

The danger of doing nothing on the legislative front, right now that is, is that the administration is going into overdrive, plunging headlong towards declaring a totalitarian state by subordinating the federal law enforcement apparatus, then the military, then the intelligence community.

The only place in North Carolina, and in all the other states, that a cop is required to tell the truth is in court, under oath. Cops lie. They lie all the time. And most importantly, they don't give a shit about your rights, and the NCSHP is THE WORST.

There are people in the state who want to give Tillis props for 'standing up to Trump'. My comment on our local Indivisible page was pretty strong on the subject but nevertheless true.

This is the state of voter suppression in NC: Any lawsuit that uses gerrymandering as a cause of action will fail in the GOP courts, so in order to litigate we have to come up with 'novelty' causes of action. Accusing the GOP of cheating?

NC voters appeal loss in 'election integrity' lawsuit challenging maps for Congress, state legislature
The state Supreme Court has ruled against gerrymandering complaints, but one lawsuit is using a new strategy of arguing that some districts are so skewed that it's akin to rigging an election.

NC Farm Bureau has always enjoyed a stellar reputation in NC for quality and service at a reasonable price, but the truth of the matter is that they are just another insurance company. When faced with claims they will deny, deny, then litigate, delay, delay, and depose.

This is more frightening than a lot of the knucklehead bullshit the administration is engaging in. This poses a real threat to Americans in the opposition.

I keep telling people that the judiciary is NOT going to save us. Stay tuned, Trump & his imps are going to defy the courts, and SCOTUS isn't going to stop them because once he defies lower courts? Who gives a rat's ass about the Supremes?
The judiciary is saving us…

Let's get right to the meat: fElon has already neutered Congress, and if Trump successfully defies a lower court order, then he will have all it takes to defy a SCOTUS order and there will only be one branch of government left standing. 1/x

It is past time for those of us on the center-left to pass on the challenge that we have to rise to, that we need to re-evaluate the ethics and the moral underpinnings of our belief that we can peacefully protest and vote away the oncoming dictatorship.
