there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

Vengeance? No thanks. Blue Sky is flipping out today. Understandable but so many are going way too far. I’m seeing the same stuff we saw from Lin Wood in January, 2021 when he called for the arrest and execution of Pence, Roberts, and McConnell for treason - only it’s coming from the left.

Fight for a democratic, multicultural, rule-of-law society, specifically. They ain't gonna get another Jan 6 out of us. They're going to get determination and a bunch of planning and preparation and work on failing systems, work that is already well underway.

I practice capital criminal defense. A mentor atty gave me a piece of advice during a death warrant that I’ve used for 20 years. After the execution, take 24 hours to wallow in the depths of your sorrow and then show back up to work.

Time for much more caffeine, planning and preparation. Remember, Joe Biden now is immune from prosecution too. We must give him a true blue congress for 2024 so that he and his team can right the ship and clean house.

Yeah, fuck despair. It's understandable that people are struggling with despair right now - I sure am! But despair is useless. It's what they want us to be feeling. As long as we're breathing, we have the ability to make a difference. We need hope, and we need wrath.

I don't feel desperate, I feel betrayed. Pretty sure fellow vets feel the same, especially those of us with "fight for democracy" as the reason we were sent to war to begin with. Knowing my friends and fellow troops died for this anti-American BS pisses me off.

i mean that is what worked for the republicans. White supremacy and grievance fueling decades long fights. Because that was the point. Turning back desegregation. That is what abortion started at. That is what "school choice" is about. The point has always been white supremacy. And it works.

I would also like to add that the answer to the follow up question of, "how do we fight?" Is that you're going to have to figure it out on your own. Nobody is going to figure that out for you.

We also need Dems to decisively take Congress and to *stop working with the GOP*. Stop cooperating with them. They need to be viewed as a rogue party. Don't "reach across the aisle" or worry about "decorum." Do what needs to be done and piss in their faces

Democrats get one free insurrection, and while we have our leader in power it would be doubly reasonable timing with the least possible chance of facing charges.
