So I called Sen Schumer's office (out of ?frustration...

[electric_blue68]

...and anxiety).

I was able to at least leave a message about drumphf talking to Bondi and Hegseth about trying to get around the law preventing using the military against US Citizens [to be clear just about anyone else, too!]

Idk IF there's ever a genuine legal allowance (and not if "The President says so" BS), for some extremely rare confluence of circumstance, and events for that to happen.

I said DO Something!
Also "a sternly worded letter isn't enough!!"


I need a :sigh: emoji.

1. So....you left him a sternly worded voice message?

[electric_blue68]

2. 😄 I guess so...

But I felt I had to say something, especially as his constituent.

3. Thanks for doing that! Every little bit helps.

4. Awww, you are most welcome.

5. A sign.

6. GOOD TROUBLE

Is necessary for a healthy democracy simply because the "Right wingers" will not stop trying to control everything they can toward their interests.

7. TY. I Try to do my part; whatever that is at any particular time. 👍

8. Let's start calling them "WRONG wingers." Cuz they ARE.

[electric_blue68]

11. Hmmm interesting

[Clouds Passing]

13. Thanks calimary, wrongwingers they are. I've been saying that for years.

9. Schumer ...

Can't say much more ...

[electric_blue68]

10. I understand

[soldierant]

12. electric_blue68, I am in agreement that we need a stronger Senate Minority Leader

especially in hopes that the person will become Majority Leader.

But with regard to your specific concern, - using the military against US citizens - this may help set your mind at rest:

That's not to say you don't need to worry about him using existing in-country law enforcement illegitimately. But it is ICE, the FBI, and local law enforcement you need to worry about.

For example, this happened over the weekend in the county I live in:

And this is a followup from public radio, the local media I have the mist confidence in

This kind of thing could happen just about anywhere very easily.

14. Went to school and worked with his little brother. Haven't found a way to get a hold of him though.

His brother has much more of a “killer instinct.” Would be nice to see him replace his older brother.
