If he’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it regardless.

Also, the U.S. doesn’t have a martial law statute & martial law is very different from the insurrection act which we do have.

Regardless, he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do.

We have to stop being reactionary &
we have to stop living in fear.

Charles Taylor’s regime was ended, in part, by the prayers of ordinary Liberian women who started praying and toppled a dictator. Maybe we can learn from that.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.
