Make no mistake, ‘National Divorce’ is a call to secession. It is a subversion of our country and it’s constitution. We have active seditionists within our elected bodies who are rowing against us.
This one is going to sting, but I think it’s time. A ‘we’ thread🧵👇🏻
Racism is not only a stain on our country, an original sin and amoral abomination, it’s a cancer that has never gone into remission, has never been properly addressed and is the talking point that creates both false narratives and false hope among those who perpetuate its evil.
To say this is not an inherently racist country simply belies the facts. Let’s look at Virginia. Glenn Youngkin used ‘Critical Race Theory’ to win the Governorship. He had no platform to sell, just fear. It wasn’t even his idea. It was a psyop. It was orchestrated by pros.
Texas has already seceded its power grid. How did that go? They had to come crawling hat in hand to the US government to get the lights back on. Texas lost between $80 and $130 BILLION, 210 people died. 1 Senator went to Cancun. ferc.gov/media/february…
The intransigence on the part of TX leaders in the face of climate change and the desire to mine ponzi coins to increase profits is not a function of good governing, it’s an abdication and slap in the face to tax payers. Texas gets a lone star rating. khou.com/article/news/i…
Now let’s look at education ratings.
Just look at the consistency of those scores for those states. Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi…did I even need to point these out or did you already presume? I am in no way saying these states are somehow incapable of making changes. Just look at New Mexico. Well maybe don’t.
How did they go from 24th to 50th? Why is NM consistently last in child well being? Read this article and look for the one item that is considered a ‘bright spot’. I’ll save you the time. It’s the Affordable Care Act. You know, repeal and replace?
Why do I focus on education in a thread about racism? Because without education, the ignorant can be easily manipulated. They can be lead to actively work against their own interest. The fear of others can be installed easily. The propaganda can be used to destroy from within.
Voting against your own interests, is saying the only bright spot for your children’s future (in NM, the ACA) is somehow the work of an evil demon tyrant president who, oh by the way, just also happened to be this nations first Black President.
Speaking of presidents, do you remember when the last one said he ‘noticed Frederick Douglass was being recognized more and more’ and that he had heard good things?
What good things exactly? Because if you read Frederick Douglass tell of his life, it is a story founded in atrocity. Douglass speaks to us from history. What he says is there is systemic racism in this country. Here is the proof it has not gone away.
Douglass tells us that the slavers (people who OWNED other people) refused to teach slaves to read. They were afraid to.
Why? Because they knew if there property was educated, they would begin to question why they were PROPERTY!
Slavers couldn’t have that. No, sir. It must be a heritage thing to not have your people reading about how an entire portion of the country was trying to free them. That an entire portion of the population was against their enslavement. That there was a freedom unavailable.
How does that prove there is systemic racism today, Joe? Well look at what McConnell did to the Build Back Better Bill. Before killing it, they stripped out the 2 years free community college. What do you think Frederick Douglass would make of that?
Mitch McConnell has been an obstructionist to anything this country wants to do to move forward. He is the handbrake to our progress. If you don’t think for one second he will kill the filibuster to forever retain power, congratulations. He has you right where he wants you.
He is the very embodiment of ‘The South will rise again’. Rise? Again? To do what exactly? Install a christofascist state devoid of science? They are killing their own populations. If they do secede, they will not succeed.
Now, let me tell you the story of Demby. Frederick Douglass again cries out from history to tell us that one day a young Black boy was being whipped. He ran into a creek to avoid Mr. Gore’s lashings. He was instructed by the overseer to leave the water by the count of 3. 1…2…
Upon 3, Mr. Gore raised his musket to Demby’s face.
Then, Demby was no more.
Black men are more likely to be shot by police, sorry…’die during routine traffic stops’ then their White counterparts. They are less likely to be approved mortgages, live to national average life span and more likely to be incarcerated longer than those committing sedition.
When you hear empty headed Empty G speaking of ‘National Divorce’, understand what she means. She and her ilk are out to control, then destroy you. Is this what ‘we’ want? Collectively, does she speak for ‘we’? We must defeat this brand of Republicanism. We must vote it out.
United we stand, divided we fall. Remember that? Or is it illegal to teach that now? Is that a phrase deemed unacceptable? Was that in a book that was banned from the school library to keep us ignorant of freedoms unavailable?

In the Eric Coomer v trump case, an attorney named Brandon Johnson was deposed. Brandon Johnson was an independent contractor for Defending the Republic comma Inc.
What is Defending the Republic comma Inc? The better question is who…a wee thread🧵👇🏻
Defending the Republic comma Inc. is how Johnson referenced a 501c4 charity in Texas. This manner of reference may be important, but for our purposes I will be using Defending the Republic or DTR because I don’t want to keep typing Defending the Republic comma Inc.
Defending the Republic was created Dec 1, 2020 and listed as its Directors were Joe Flynn, Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell. It was created in Texas. They received donations through their website. Their mission essentially to educate about election integrity, preserve republic.
On October 21, 2021 Thomas Massie a Republican Congressman from Kentucky questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland during a House Judiciary Committee Hearing. The focus of his questioning was a man named Ray Epps.
You guys, I don’t even know where this wee thread is going🧵👇🏻
Who is Ray Epps? Congressman Massie suspects that Ray Epps is either an agent or asset of the federal government and he directed people at the January 6th Insurrection. Garland refused to comment on an ongoing investigation.
Massie offers no proof of Epps being a part of any government agency, not the FBI, not the CIA, not NSA, not DIA. Instead, Massie shows a video on a tablet of Ray Epps surrounded by people yelling ‘Fed, Fed, Fed!’ Garland clowns Massie, by telling him, ‘I can’t see that at all’.
On December 18th, 2018 there was a hearing in the courtroom of Judge Emmet Sullivan. The purpose was to impose sentence upon a defendant who had pleaded guilty to making false statements. In this case, lying to FBI.
Generally speaking the defendant was Mike Flynn. A wee 🧵👇🏻
Standing before Judge Sullivan was former National Security Advisor, unregistered foreign agent of Turkey, former head of Defense Intelligence Agency and three star General, Mike Flynn. He was there to be sentenced for lying to the FBI.
To understand how we got to December 18th, 2018, we need to go back to November 30, 2017.
Do you like to do thought experiments about the most mundane inner workings of government that may lead you to an interesting discovery of what may have happened on January 6th?
Permit me to demonstrate in this wee 🧵👇🏻
In order to keep order, one must be permitted to stage a protest demonstration around Washington. As these are federal lands, the National Park Service issues permits to groups who want to demonstrate or protest for their cause. There are applications and approvals.
The thing about paper work, is it creates a record. It also tells us the process one might have to go through to get an application approved and by whom. For the purposes of this thread, I wanted to understand who had permits to ‘protest’ at the Capitol on Jan 6.
On October 16th 2020, a presentation was given by a member of a group called NH Voter Integrity. It was designed to introduce Canvassing training. Slide 5 tells us that the purpose was to get Affidavits. Why? For that, a wee thread🧵👇🏻
First, we are going to need to get on the same page as to some terms. There are no doubt better, more technical definitions to use but for our purposes, ‘Canvassing’ is going to door to door to speak with voters. These are door knockers who want to know who you’re voting for.
Notice I didn’t say they are asking who you *voted* for. That would be past tense, meaning after the election. Canvassers are usually exhausted and have raw knuckles *after* an election. But for our purposes, canvassing means going door to door talking to voters.
The first question one would ask when trying to determine which Member of Congress sent the ‘I’m sorry nothing worked’ text is who would apologize? Apologies in the GOP in this day are a sign of weakness. Jim Jordan or Matt Gaetz don’t strike me as apologizers so it’s not them.
This would have also needed to be someone who knew what all comprises the ‘nothing’ they refer to. If nothing worked, what are the elements that failed specifically? Was it all the pre-messaging done before hand by the Andy Biggs’ and the Paul Gosar’s?
Was it the letter from Jeffrey Clark or the memo from John Eastman that didn’t work? Was it the PowerPoint that didn’t work? The plan to kidnap Pence to prevent him being available to certify the vote allowing Chuck Grassley to preside instead, that didn’t work?
