    This is an emergency, and it demands emergency response from every American with power or influence. The window for effective resistance narrows with each passing day. History will judge harshly those who had the capacity to resist but chose instead to wait and see how things develop. The time to act is now, before the mechanisms that would allow effective resistance are completely dismantled.

    The alarms are being sounded, and not just from this publication. If nobody that has even a shred of power does anything… well fuck.

        What can I do?

        Depends on how much you you value you freedom/life, cuz the things that need to be done could put both in jeopardy. Leave your cell phone at home.

        Look for protests to join. Call email call your reps. There’s got to be a way to sue, but i don’t know anything about that route.

          If all fails there’s a funny amendment in the constitution literally for a situation exactly like this.

            A lot of what is being done right now violates the Constituent. That doesn’t matter unless someone enforces it, which is not happening. Congress should be responding, but the Republican majority are either in favor of the takeover or too afraid to oppose it. The courts have been helping some, but the Supreme Court (and many of the lower courts) have been taken over by people who support this.

            Unless some congressional Republicans grow a conscience or a spine, there isn’t anyone at the federal level who will defend the Constitution.

          My reps voicemails are completely full and they don’t reply to email. It’s a farce.
