Very clever on the part of Obama.

He asks what if he had sent the national guard into Texas?

We'd have never seen the end of it.

I'm beginning to wonder if Trump had the Epstein files destroyed? Not accusing. Just wondering.

If he's going to liken it to a war, then we are in the right for calling the attacks on medical staff a war crime.

Geneva Convention tells us that.

ICE in PDX blocks an ambulance, threatens to shoot a medic. Are these war crimes?

And why aren't we hearing anything about ICE in the Red Giant of Phoenix, Arizona, where they had Charlie's memorial?

I'll tell you why. Economic conservatives (urban) versus cultural conservatives (rural).

And economic conservatives love all that cheap labor.

Now, if we can get a politically-agreed to secession, great.

But we just have different budget priorities.

We are

a different interpretation

of the experiment called "America."

Court Jester @johnfeier.bsky.social · 11h

We don't have to say "secession."
We don't even need to say "soft secession" or "economic secession."

We will create our own currency and let the geography of use determine the boundaries of the alternative interpretation of the experiment called "America." Not country, but different interpretation

I'll tell you why he's panicking over #NoKings

Because it will begin the process of finding our leader...the One.

He can't have someone else getting any media attention but him.

Why the fuck would Trump be panicking over the #NoKings protest?

He's got his police state in the red states.

He should be happy with that and put the troops in the red counties.

As we're about to make abundantly clear to him, the troops are NOT WANTED in the blue cities.

Why isn’t this everywhere right now? 😡
Massive flooding in western Alaska. Search & rescue in process. Power outages. Communication down.
So tell me again — why are we not seeing this on the news?

Ohhhh

Ok...thanks for the clarification.

It just seems like the kind of thing that people on Blue Sky would create.

They feel culturally threatened.

They're in denial that late stage capitalism is upon us.

The Red States would rather be a pariah nation, despised by the world like Israel, than to accept reality.

The five stages of grief?

The idea of mobile government software is something I threw out there in the hope that it would be another tool in the activist's toolkit.

I'm not developing it myself. I just hope that someone else has or will.

Now is the time. That is for sure.

That is, we do not have a formally recognized cultural system and we are not supposed to. Just like there is no formally recognized religion. The political right resents that.

People are so desperate for cultural identity that they're willing to secede.

The red states will become a pariah nation.

Red and Blue have always been at each other. Strangely, it's how they get things done.

But what is making this different this time around is some toxic mix of racism, Christian evangelicalism and economic libertarianism.

They feel culturally threatened.

But America was never MEANT for culture.

The good news is...

This will result in an entire generation of adult fiction writers.

The winning writers will be the ones who know the art of the implicit.

Explicit, strangely enough, is always defined by what is not implicit, eh?

What is implicit? Romance novels.
