I think that this would be catastrophic, for them. The trouble is that they could do quite a lot of harm in responding precisely because they are not prepared, not very smart, impulsive, and hateful.
i personally do not think the administration is actually prepared for what happens if they are facing mass protests in every major city in the country

1/ Was fortunate enough to join @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social this morning. Was asked what I thought elected Democrats should be doing right now.

This is the way.
2/ Second part...
Don't feed into the impotency by shaking your fists outside locked building. Show up at the places where dots need to be connected. Show up. It's not complicated.

Scientists hold back tears and shake their heads sadly as they explain, at the utterly compromised COP29 Climate Conference (Azerbaijan???), which was meant to be the last chance to organise rapid and deep emissions cuts, for any chance of staying well below an essentially unsurvivable 2°C.

Why do I get the feeling we are going to hold Trump accountable by documenting every broken campaign promise while the people he made the promises to won’t care?
