They can issue JOINT health guidance, they can buy up supplies of needed vaccines, etc... [just on the health front]. Hire all of the excellent people who are resigning.

Excellent proposal. Lets do it!
Or a billionaire could intervene and actually do some good!
Not surprisingly, it seems like the Michigan Ds just want to lay low. They should know better but this is our leader.
I could not agree more. bsky.app/profile/badj...
Consolidating defiance has a practical component, and is also a show of force, a flex against fascism. As inspiring as it is watching individual efforts, it would be exponentially so when done as a collective.
I don’t know if you have seen this yet? But it looks like that groundwork is being laid quietly cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
Between this article and the 23 Democratic Gov alliance/website, it appears that they’re doing some of what you’ve suggested. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
It would be a whole lot easier to get from red state to a blue state to get needed medical than to have to leave the country
The governor who calls this meeting will demonstrate incredible leadership
EXACTLY! And I imagine would get trans support for the decision. But not Gavin Newsom or Pete Buttigieg just so we’re clear people.
Oh they can still go fuck themselves.
That too. I’d say IF they don’t listen? Then yeah they can go fuck themselves.

Your mouth to Gov. Walz's ear.

I hope @govwesmoore.bsky.social can join next time!
100%. I have been suggesting this to my gov (WA) for months. We are where the demand is anyway
Pritzker could create an irrevocable trust with his personal wealth that would guarantee robust funding for such an organization that would last for at least three years regardless of his own personal future or pressure brought to bear on him. He should do that.
That won’t help those of us in red states. I’m happy for those in blue states. If that were to happen. Yet, I have chronic illness, that drains me financially. Am I disposable, because I can’t escape this hell hole?
Love how quickly people in blue states abandon progressives in red states.
I'm going to Europe in September. I'm getting all my vaccines while I'm there. Fk this country. They are trying to either kill us to avoid paying out social security or they want us in the Healthcare system paying out thousands. They act like Healthcare is free.
