Thank you for all your work. I was with a group of activists , yeah those “antifa” kind the MAGAts are so fearful of 😂 although we didn’t even have an actual name to our group, black block maybe. We caravanned from Atlanta to Richmond the morning of Jan 5. Stopped to celebrate the win in GA that night of Ossoff and Warnock with plans to go on into DC J6 early to counter protest those idiots.

BECAUSE I followed YOU, we started checking our other chats and warning others going to counter protest to not go! 23 of us, which I was like the mom, a few had been with me since Portland OR wall of moms , 100’s of protests & campaigns in between. We instead stayed in Richmond screaming at the TV in that crappy motel all day J6. Then headed to Minneapolis to get in good trouble there.

I will always be grateful for your warning that day.

That taught me to never doubt you.

I often ask how in the F can lil ole me, a 59 yr old 4’10” veteran and activist that’s at my rural home in Arkansas now seem to know more what dangers lie ahead than the fucking people that need to be handling this shit!

They were caught flat footed on Jan 6. We know why now. THEY BETTER NOT BE THIS TIME!

I will always believe that your call for anti fascists NOT to go engage at the Capitol Jan. 6 prevented martial law from being implemented and bought us these past years of democracy. Thank you for that.

Thanks for your work Jim! I was heartened by Maddow last night showing the clip of Flynn and talking about Raiklin. Keep sounding the alarm!

As a Brit, I hope you are wrong but fear you are right and, as the 51st state of the US, it won't end well for us.

I woke up this morning with the song Civil War in my head and then see this post. The US can only be destroyed from the inside. This has been common knowledge for decades. Divide by any means necessary. It worked for Putin in 2016. Without rules and regulations technology is dangerous. The first amendment & technology are oil/water mix. How was this overlooked. Interesting to see how this plays out “As the billions shift from side to side”. This is a class war. 👇

Yikes, but makes sense. Shutting down the court feels right but seems unlikely. Biden and Harris (and the military) must have a plan in place for the inevitable electoral violence, but I wonder how far reaching it is.

Thanks, Jim, you are my favorite war correspondent! Please talk more about Israel's ties to our own Military/security/industrial mafia- how about Sheldon Adelson giving $90M to Trump's campaign AND similar amounts to Netenyahu's! Sadly, Bloomberg's $90sometingM to Biden practically guaranteed that Israel would continue to get the arms it wanted-for what?

I agree 100%. What are the exact agencies they want to expel doing to protect the country? What is the current immune POTUS doing? I’ve had my share of extra-constitutional ideas and was called liberal Alex Jones by a conservative cocky ass on the Bulwark. People are clueless and I’m no alarmist either but I’ve got one hell of an intuition that has been blowing up! It’s out in the open unlike J6 and what’s being done? The complicity is nauseating. I’m not dying with Trump 2.0. Penniless, scared of my posts, sitting in some black dank bunker. This is law fare on the innocent people who haven’t been told enough, or nothing or just plain don’t care. I have always had Bible Mike in the back of my mind. We will rue that day we saved his enabling accountability app ass. Thanks! My heart is pounding as I know you’re right!

Damn, Jim … I think you are accurately reading the hands that various players in this political poker game are holding … and … nothing can beat the 6 aces that SCOTUS holds.

It's not about the actual count because the Repubs have such bigger plans . The Schedule F is the most alarming and the Gops plan is to reinstate it ... Johnson has big plans I really believe Joe needs to reinstate it on Nov 5 and let the GOP know there going to eat their own medicine out of a big boot
