Jeff Nesbit, Jennifer Rubin and Pablo Torre, Maya Cook, Tim Dickinson, Brian O'Neill, Jared Bernstein, Norman Eisen and Joshua Kolb, "Talking Feds," & a special announcement!
I often write with too many words. So, I think it is time to be short and explicit (although this may not qualify). There is no "other" now. There never should have been, but ICE has made that point abundantly clear with the murder of Renee Good. We are all randomly subject to stop by ICE wherever we may be and whatever we may be doing and if that illegitimate order is disobeyed, we can be summarily put to death. Don't think it cannot happen to you. This Administration simply does not care. In fact, it will find a way to support it. If we visibly support democracy, we are Antifa (which is described as a highly decentralized anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement, so not so bad). In contrast, ICE is a centralized fascist and racist organization armed to the teeth to kill. We are not yet at the point at which the Administration will authorize the indiscriminate shooting into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators, as is occurring in Iran. I fear we may be headed there. We must not back down.
In all the chaos, murder and distractions, what is being done to the DOJ and Pam Bondi for thwarting the law requiring release of Epstein files? So much of the regime’s actions are clearly designed to divert attention from that.
No thoughts & prayers for Renee Good. Trump's proud of the fact that he lacks a moral compass. Which will Trump do 1st: bomb Tehran, indict his Fed Reserve chair, send in special forces to take out Governor Walz?
ITS OUR GOVERNOR’S FAULT. I WROTE THIS 1 YEAR AGO, AND I AM WRITING IT AGAIN
IT IS OUR GOVERNOR’S FAULT
“NO KING DAY” AND “ICE OUT” MARCHES ARE NICE BUT A WASTE OF OUR ENERGY THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT OUR GOVERNOR’S
TRUMP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CITIZENS OR BEING RE-ELECTED. HE WANTS TO BE PART OF THE THREE RULERS OF THE WORLD: PUTIN, YI TIMPING, AND TRUMP
OUR GOVERNORS HAVE POWER AND A WAY TO PROTECT US, AND THEY ARE NOT DOING IT.
MARCH TO THEIR OFFICES AND SAY PROTECT OR LEAVE. WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT. YOU ARE WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE. YOU ARE TOLERATING CRIME. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? THEY ARE ADVOCATING PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS, AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING
OUR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT IS BEYOND REPAIR AND IS BECOMING A FASCIST STATE.
WE ARE ALSO WAITING; WE AREA MASSIVE COUNTRY AND CAN ABSORB ENORMOUS PAIN THAT CAN BECOME INVISIBLE IN OUR POPULATION. A FEW THOUSAND CITIZENS CAN BE TAKEN, AND WE WILL OBJECT, BUT EVENTUALLY WE GO ON WITH OUR LIVES AND FORGET IT. WE LOST OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND CITIZENS TO THE VIRUS, AND WE WENT ABOUT OUR LIVES. WE CAN FORGET, WE CAN DENY, WE HAVE NOT REACHED OUR KINDLING TEMPERATURE, THE TEMPERATURE REQUIRED FOR US TO EXPLODE.
WHAT MUST HAPPEN FOR YOU TO REVOLT, FOR US TO HAVE A REVOLUTION? WHAT MUST HAPPEN TO US, TO OUR WAY OF LIFE, FOR US TO SAY, GOVERNOR, DO SOMETHING.
COST OF LIVING GOING UP. IT IS NOT ENOUGH, NOT ENOUGH FOR A REVOLUTION. WHAT IS? LIVING WITH A DICTATORSHIP, MAYBE, BUT THEN IT IS TOO LATE. THING OF WHAT CONDITION MUST OCCUR FOR YOU TO BE WILLING TO REVOLT.
GOVERNORS ARE POWERFUL AND CONTROL ENORMOUS WEALTH, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACT AS THE GOVERNOR OF A SOVEREIGN STATE. THEY SUPPORT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT THEY ARE WAITING. THEY ALSO HAVE A KINDLING TEMPERATURE AND WE CAN MAKE THEM REACH THAT TEMPERATURE.
WE CAN MAKE THEM MOVE, MAKE THEM ASSUME THE ROLE OF A GOVERNOR, TO CARE FOR THEIR CITIZENS. CONSIDER THE DEMOCRATIC STATES AND THEIR POWER, AND CONSIDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY ORGANIZED AND USED A “SOFT SECESSION” TO CONTROL HOW THEIR MONEY WAS USED
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT “SOFT SECESSION”? HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM “SECESSION”? A SOFT SECESSION IS WHERE THE STATES STOP SENDING TAX MONEY DIRECTLY INTO THE FEDERAL TREASURY, BUT RATHER COLLECT FEDERAL TAX MONEY OF THE CITIZENS IN A STATE ACCOUNT AND HAVE THE POWER TO REVIEW WHERE AND HOW IT WILL BE USED. A FULL SECESSION IS WHERE A STATE LEAVES THE UNION COMPLETELY AND BECOMES A SEPARATE SOVEREIGN COUNTRY
It’s so heartening to see people show up for Renee Nicole Good. This is a testament to American resilience. We will take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. We will do our best to understand why this happened and to right the wrong in this case.

We’re all "Domestic Terrorists” now.
