Summary

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) sparked controversy with a fiery speech outside the Treasury Department, declaring, “We are at war!” and calling for the Senate to be shut down in response to Elon Musk’s access to federal payment systems.

Her remarks, applauded by some Democrats, drew backlash from Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who likened them to “a call for insurrection.”

    I’ve already written my governer to ask to be on a mailing list for any state sponsored militias. I also said that he should very seriously entertain the notion of filing charges against Trump, Musk, Vance, and all of their cabinet and appointees and court nominations for Treason. Treason can be filed at both the state and federal level, and there have been a number of successful convictions of treason at the state level.

    More importantly, it saddles trump and his cronies with charges that will make it justified for both state and federal militias to remove them from power by any means necessary. At that point just deputize members of your state militia, and they will have to take an oath to protect the nation from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC. They now have legal protections backed by the charges filed by the state. Now you fund those militia’s and give them military kit, and refuse to cooperate with federal officials until a new election has been held and trump has been removed from power.

    This is a fucking war, and the victors will write the history of it. The most important part is that facism and all of its supporters lose, and suffer the full consequences for their actions.

    It doesn’t matter what you do to republicans now, just do it swiftly and severly, and the next president can pardon you and tie up the loop holes.

    The same tactics that facists are using to destroy the country CAN also be used to save it. We just have to act with strength and conviction.
