Nice read. It's sometimes (often?) best to stay and fight.
No one knows what's best for your neighborhood than you--the resident of however many years. Once you leave the clock resets on things like running for office. Moving won't change the fact that we all need to pull a bit of weight.
It's a bit confusing, in the video it shows "Israel Submitted" at 44 seconds in.
There's only a dozen or so countries shown in the video. Not sure what the takeaway should be but I suppose it's worth examining who wasn't in his whirlwind tour.
There's a lot of predictivity to be found in financial products, SEC deadlines, waiting periods, blackout periods, etc.I do think it's plausible that there could be some clues in there.
Given that the BBBY dockets are redacted into almost nothing, the case could be a lot more settled than we're aware.
But if it's the liberals being targeted for hate speech, maybe it'll wake up the liberals that the concept of hate speech is a bad idea?
I have no clue. Doesn't help that Abbott is one of the ones doing the censoring. Very confusing environment where everyone becomes the bad actor at some point.
I'm excited to hear that!
Donations really are a trap/temptation. You have no way of tracking the money and there's plenty of bad actors out there. Look at how u/swimkin was able to directly put their personal money in and be a part of the system rather than paying and praying for someone else to represent them.
Good site for viewing the sharp Omicron divergence:

Just introduce yourself, ask where the meetings are, where you can hear about volunteer opportunities, etc. These people will normally be the folks who orchestrate the various party events in your county.
Pick the smallest thing you know you can do and stick to it. Or just attend the meetings you can make and absorb information.
There's a world of knowledge to be gained from just a small amount of effort, and it's a great opportunity to meet civic-minded people in your area.
Don't sweat the donations. Your local hands on time is worth more.
Trump's policy chops are truly underrated. He's landed the most divisive issue on the ballot in the least divisive place possible.
IMO he's signaling to us that this is the place to set trenches and dig in. Be wary of people urging us to legislate abortion at the national level where it can split the country again. Fight at the state level and create constitution-changing quality of consensus first.
I was thinking this FBI notice, which was also discussed on the PPshow:

Notice that Dowd doesn't say action to end self-custody, he says "cut off". The cutoff point for the average person is being unable to remove crypto from their exchange/brokerage/scammer.
People who use unlicensed cryptocurrency money transmitting services may encounter financial disruptions during law enforcement actions, especially if their cryptocurrency is intermingled with funds obtained through illegal means.
^ TBH this almost reads like a warning to the cabal: we're about to have to do enforcement so move your ill-gotten gains now before they are frozen...

^ This hypothetical is 100x more enjoyable when read in the context of #2786, because Kagan is asking the obvious question rather than the interesting question.
Of course a former POTUS should be held responsible for staging a coup--but it wouldn't be a state prosecutor that would hold them to account--it would be the current CiC.
Does anyone have any details or the original documents circulating from Council for National Policy via Ginni Thomas and the alternate electors strategy?
It just occurred to me that although I've heard it frequently mentioned, I've never sat down and read the documents, and now I'm having trouble tracking them down.
There's loads of stupid debunk sites but I can't find the actual original documents.
I'm getting a foreshadowing overload from these hypotheticals, from all the justices...
Tbh I think there is some very good discussion here. When Kagan was pressing Sauer on a former POTUS staging a coup I was surprised to the degree he was digging in and deflecting. Does Kagan know something or is she just curious?
The moves on DJT are even wilder than crypto. Gigantic swings on no news at all.
Maybe some people are trading it based off trial activity?
