(1) Here's something American liberals & moderate conservatives can do to help rebuild after the damage Trump did and is still doing, along with his allies and supporters.

Y'all need better #whistleblowerprotection, & you CAN create it without waiting years for law reform.

(2) This will be damn hard to achieve, I know. But I invite you to think about all those working in the public & private (eg media) sectors who can't report what they have seen, without leaving their family destitute during a pandemic that is still an existential threat to many.

(3) Most whistleblowers don't have the substantial personal resources that will get them through until they can one day make money again. Seditionists and other leaders of domestic terrorist networks know this. It's a key reason they get away with their crimes.

(4) Here's one example. In mid to late December 2020 it was abundantly clear that Trump was encouraging a mass gathering outside the Capitol for 1/6 that anyone with half a brain knew would likely turn violent.

Hundreds of federal workers & LEOs would have seen this, too.

(5) The Pentagon, under Trump, tried to claim afterward that slow-walking the national guard response on the day just sorta happened and we shouldn't read anything into that.

Absolute bullshit.

(6) I've studied, in detail, the timeline and evidence-supported facts of 1/6. I did that immediately, & more evidence has come out since.

Trump, his acting SecDef & the rest of the chain of command of not just the DoD but the DHS & DOJ had foreknowledge of the threat level.

(7) Yet all those LE/security professionals stood back while a fraction of the required USCP and MPDC personnel were sent out like lambs to the slaughter. Without proper PPE riot gear.

(8) There was even a sworn State Dept employee, Federico Klein, who tried to beat up LEOs, called others into the building, and was in jail awaiting trial. He might end up back there, many have.

No doubt there are other INSIDERS under investigation.

(9) Klein was apprehended after a State Dept employee recognized and reported him.

Do not underestimate the difficulty faced by whistleblowers. You are not in their shoes.

I'm suggesting groups be set up to offer them support.

(10) While we wait for slow law reform, marshalling private resources to offer potential whistleblowers a safer landing could be a substantial help in the overall movement to hold the domestic terrorists accountable, and one day restore a better political climate in the US.

(11) The Trump-majority of the GOP has plenty of money to support their ongoing insurgency, and escape accountability. They have established legal defense groups etc.

IMO this should be met with at least as much resource.

Some have made a start, eg @accountableGOP.

(12) I'm not saying offer cash to whistleblowers. But you could offer in-kind support eg legal support, and job offers from people who won't hate them for being a whistleblower.

If such groups already exist, let me know & I'll promote them.

(13) Potential whistleblowers may also need personal security, for them & their household. It costs money, & we can't assume state or federal law enforcement will do a good job of it. IMO it's better to procure it privately.

Those with money should put it where their mouth is.

(14) Winning the American War of Independence required a lot of resources: personnel, materiel, etc. A lot of the time the Continental army couldn't provide what was needed, so private individuals did.

I think what I'm suggesting can be done within the law, easily.

(15) The fact is, the Biden administration's homeland security agencies DHS, DoD, DOJ and more, are doing their best and are so far very effective. But they can't spend money that Congress hasn't given them.
