A very, very good man and former Governor of Illinois, Jim Edgar, has passed away today.
It would be cool if we paused and give a moment to this news!

Kinda worse than secession tbh. Its literally the "protect but not bind" thing where they want the benefits of being part of the United States but with none of the obligations
Secession. What they're describing is secession.

These Congresspeople chose to attack the only Congressman who literally stood up & confronted Trump during his anti-American lie fest. It is bad for the country, bad for the party, bad for democracy and will be bad for them when they are up for re-election. 🧵

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I’m finding it hard to wrap my head around MSM focusing on the Super Bowl,all the “happy celebrations”, the food , the booze, while our entire Democracy is collapsing around us, an authoritarian terrorist is going to attend.
This is like putting lipstick on a sadistic pig.

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward.

They can't just wish it away unless we let them.
Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms
