The thing about the House of Dynamite/Jacobsen/bolt out of the blue/15 minutes to respond "raise awareness for nukes with this panicked scenario" thing is that it's not at all reflective of what any of us are working on.

So, with Judge Gibson's decision on the UT Congressional Maps, my question is: what comes next?
Does the Leg have anything it can do to try and stop the map being used 2026 at this point, given the Lt. Gov's timeline?
What shenanigans can we expect from them as they try to undo this?

Tonight is a night to celebrate. Incredible movement across the country.
Tomorrow, the task is capturing the energy in the air for the long haul. Restoring Constitutionalism through future pain, into the midterms, and well beyond.

I really would like to read a detailed debunking article from someone with this kind of experience on nuclear war plans about house of dynamite and/or jacobsen's book because all I see from like professional critics is the typical "chilling, sobering...she's obviously done her homework"
Well, I suppose it can't be any worse than Annie Jacobsen's POS book. At least they got the Black Book right.

Sometimes, in my conversations with friends and peers, I think "Maybe I should start a blog or something to fully write out my thoughts."
Then the thought of my ideas getting read is scary. It's easier to let others have their fiction of me, rather than maybe being something different. Right? 😛

Nope, raise a flag of the people, not the flag of the fascists. Why would you waive the flag of a government that built its land base on genocide and has run two concentration camp systems in the past 100 years.
