I want four things [View all]

National Guard, in Charlottesville, with all possible speed.

The statue of Robert E Lee has to come down immediately. Before today it might have belonged in a museum as a silent reminder, but now it has to be destroyed.

Immediate condemnation of racists and white supremacists, coming from every elected official from school board to Senate. If they don't, do not stop until they're recalled or voted out.

And Congress needs to make it clear that no unilateral preemptive military action of any kind that Twitler dreams up as a rally-round-the-flag diversion will be met with anything other than immediate impeachment. The impeachment going on now is in slow motion as an airtight criminal case builds, but we need to demand a fast track option locked and loaded.
