The Dem's refusal to join Rep. Al Green in heckling the State of the Union, has left him to take the sole brunt of Republican censure. Imagine if every Dem had taken a turn doing what Boebert and Green did last year. Would Republicans censure the entire Democratic Caucus?
Bring it!
Bring it!

Every one of his acts, taken together as a whole, points to one unavoidable conclusion: our President is a Russian asset.

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

After seeing all of the suppression happening around Trump being a Russian asset named “Krasnov,” this felt appropriate. Spread it far and wide, people!

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country.
We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.
I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

I'm watching alongside Illinoisans what's happening in our country right now with dread.
The authoritarian playbook is laid bare: they point to a group of people who don't look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.
What comes next?

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.
It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

There always was Trump/Russia. There still is Trump/Russia. The early actions of the Trump administration signal the continuing force of Trump/Russia.
Feel free to add to the list, but here’s my list.
Note: It’s only been a month.

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people.
That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.
