Executive Director of Citizens Impeachment. Flowers are amazing. Pretty sure our humanity is the thing that saves us, not tech. All these things are related

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

5) Take action together

Last week, our community mobilized over four thousand people to demand their Rep pursue impeachment for Treason. Action begets action and builds community in unexpected ways. Now I am learning how to do videos for frog nation 🐸 bsky.app/profile/citi...

I didn't know @sonsofliberty.bsky.social, but I joined them to talk to my fellow veterans about the heartbreak of watching your country betray its own values and met a whole new crew of veterans committed to upholding their oath of office.

3) Find your friends

These can be people in your physical community or people who share your values. This time, it was @freespeechforpeople.org.web.brid.gy - they reviewed the article, provided feedback, and endorsed it. We didn't do this alone.

Trump is openly committing treason. He must be impeached and removed from office. - Free Speech For People

By mobilizing U.S. troops against civilians, Trump is levying war against the United States.

2) Take action

Action is the antidote to anxiety. The Constitution says Treason is an impeachable offense. So we wrote an article that details the ways in which the administration is committing Treason and advocated for the remedy: Impeachment.

1) Name the things that are happening.

President Trump is committing treason. His administration is levying war against American cities and citizens. Per the U.S. constitution, this is Treason.

It's a big word, but it's precise and accurate. And once we named it, we could take action.

It feels like the administration rhetoric and their hunger to suppress our first amendment rights of assembly, speech, and petition for the redress of grievances is really amping up lately. Here's how @citizensimpeachment.com is handling it.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Mandy this is a great idea! would you consider adding @citizensimpeachment.com to the "more power to the people" section? We give people detailed scripts tailored to their rep to demand the removal of the regime

It is remarkable how just *existing* in opposition to their stunted worldview is enough to frighten them.

If even half of the protests have 1000 people attend, that's a million+ folks in the streets rejecting this power grab.

I hope every single one of them calls their rep to support impeachment

Imagine being an official representative of a democracy and just blurting out that if you refuse to accept a king, you're going to miss out on your payday.

No funding for fascists. Republicans control all three branches of government, they can open it back up whenever they want.

On 10/18, make your demand clear and actionable:

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

We don't have kings in America. The way to remove bad presidents is impeachment.

Message discipline. Message unity.

One week from right now, millions of Americans will gather in every state for the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history. Join your local No Kings Day event to make it clear that We The People won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

@citizensimpeachment.com is on it: citizensimpeachment.com/article-of-i...

We're reading it as *any* of those folks can be impeached for treason or bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors rather than *all* of those folks will be impeached.

It's not automatic, Congress will have to take action.
