"Every leader facing accountability has understood what a war provides. It is the oldest move in the history of power: when the walls close in, find an enemy abroad."

Perhaps some of are being to optimistic.
"Anyone who thinks the midterms or a presidential election will fix this is giving way too much deference to a democracy that has been systematically disassembled over the last thirteen months." - @carmitage.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
Appreciate it, I love when they join in on the fun 😂
The fight against fascism has had legitimate victories but starts w/ our mayors.
Great reporting by Public Policy & Investigative Journalist Christopher Armitage @carmitage.bsky.social who's "made an excellent case for US mayors successful self-governing"plus✔️his Substack The Existentialist Republic
Excellent thread and article – and apt choice of photo.
If anyone ever tells you that business is more efficient than government, refer them to what @jnshaumeyer.bsky.social and @carmitage.bsky.social have written here.
Also tell them about B Corporations. Every Corp should be a B Corp.
States are using the tools they have in the federal system to resist and oppose what they see is wrong. Some are even considering new legislation to protect their constituents. It's called "soft secession", and journalist and policy strategist @carmitage.bsky.social tells us more: bit.ly/4bGxTkX
Christopher Armitage makes an excellent case for U.S. mayors' successful self-governing while shedding federal support (and interference).
Our cities and our states have the power to stand up federal dependence. @carmitage.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
Kinda wild to realize Epstein is in the Trump files 😧😧😧
Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, journalist and policy strategist @carmitage.bsky.social and @tenantbloc.bsky.social Executive Director Sumathy Kumar discuss “soft secession” and how states can pass legislation to resist authoritarianism and enrich their communities: bit.ly/4bGxTkX
@carmitage.bsky.social & Sumathy Kumar are organizers and strategists with ideas for outmaneuvering MAGA at the state and municipal level. Hear what’s possible when people partner with state officials to protect constitutional freedoms from being violated by the federal government: bit.ly/4bGxTkX
Appreciate it, John 🌲🌲🌲
'As long as we believe he’s at rock bottom, we’ll keep being surprised when he isn’t, waiting for a collapse that isn’t coming, sharing headlines instead of organizing.'
Great info from @carmitage.bsky.social.
Thanks for posting Darren. 💙
So many people called Attorney General Keith Ellison's office, telling them to charge Ross, that eventually his staff reportedly started telling people: that's Mary Moriarty's job, call her. So now we call her.
Call the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office at 612-348-5550. Tell them you want Mary Moriarty to issue an arrest warrant for Jonathan Ross.
Thank you @carmitage.bsky.social
Mary Moriarty is the Hennepin County Attorney in Minneapolis.
A reminder: MAKE THE CALL if you haven’t already. You might play a part in beginning the beginning of the end.
This is something YOU CAN DO.
Sorry for shouting, but stop fuming and act.
One arrest warrant will change everything.

"The federal government no longer functions as a neutral arbiter between states. It has been captured by a coalition that represents a minority of Americans, a minority of economic output, and a minority of the population."

ICE agents eat at Mexican restaurant in Wilmar, MN. Then return later to arrest workers per the @startribune.com. Immigration status of the employees are unknown, but it's not like ICE cares about that. Businesses can refuse service to anyone. Also, you can put up signs for employees-only areas.
And what we can do about it! @carmitage.bsky.social is an author, veteran, former law enforcement officer, activist, policy advisor. He's in Minneapolis now but lives in Spokane, Washington with his three cat roommates.
Our government has been captured by a transnational criminal organization disguised as a political party called the GOP

For those tired of hearing "thoughts and prayers" from progressive leaders about our dying democracy, this article written by @carmitage.bsky.social has a clear tactic that Democratic led states can use if there is federal interference in state elections #TriggerLaws:
