Thank you, Dem25 for thinking and preparing ahead.
Doing this before the last election would have been thinking ahead. Now they are just reacting.
Announcing something with 280 orgs already on board and spinning something up are very different phases of the process. And announcing before the election made zero sense.
The release was issued Nov. 13, eight days after the election and including a weekend. I'd be very surprised if incipient protoalliances that led to this didn't start early in Trump's first term. If you can go live on a website in a week and have execution plans across 280 of anything, you're not reacting.
We don't need lawyers.
We need soldiers.
The law ends the day he gets into office.
But we also need lawyers. If only to slow shit down.
I mean, OK, they definitely slowed down the fascists getting their days in court, receiving justice; and the realization that the hope in the justice system, which in it's entirety, is a complete farce not based on equality or fairness, was a delusion.
