Exactly! I'm sickened by this type of framing. It's bad enough that we have militarized police departments. Now we're being having debates on where the National Guard should be deployed to be used as crime fighters? It needs to stop.
Kelly (@kelpurnia.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't like this kind of framing. When did we decide that it's the thing to use the National Guard as some kind of super crime fighters? Should Louisiana send troops to Baton Rouge? Big no! Should they send troops to DC (and beyond)? Way bigger big no!!

Obeying in advance. It's just so disheartening. All of these institutions have the means to fight back and they're all just giving in to extortion and thereby empowering the regime. They're probably just anticipating that the corrupt Supreme Court will eventually rule against them.

They put Vance in there for a reason Their probable plan is that The Rapist dies or he becomes too toxic even for the MAGAts that they 25th him. Maybe they try to convince him to resign and pardon him. Vance will lie down for them like The Rapist couldn't even imagine.

It's intentional. The full effects of the Rapist's murder bill haven't been felt yet. When we lose our healthcare and hospitals, people are going to get desperate to save themselves and their loved ones. Desperate people will turn to snake oil salesmen that enrich DJT and RFK Jr's pals.

I get that. I just wish they could come up with bills that would get people's attention that this is not at all normal. Something like "The people can directly vote to remove an administration that's shredding the Constitution daily". And then hammer home how they're shredding it daily. 🫰

Impeachapalooza is warranted. They can start with her but they need to include the head of the snake. Impeachment won't succeed with this balance of Congress but it still needs to be done. They're still acting like it's business as usual when nothing right now is usual.

Articles of impeachment should be brought up every day, starting with the head of the snake. All of the @housedemocrats.bsky.social should get on board with it. I know you're in the minority but not doing so sends a message that you're all OK with business as usual while we descend into fascism.
