Today’s reminder that you don’t have to ask <if> or <when> 🇺🇸 democracy will backslide. It already has. And the reason why is exactly 👇: the total absence of any actual legal consequences for all of the lawless authoritarianism for over 150 years now.

This is, btw, what we said would happen when the Bundy incidents failed to result in consequences for most of the people involved. wapo.st/3BM0GEP

LAKE LURE, N.C. - Federal emergency response personnel on Saturday had employees operating in hard-hit Rutherford County, N.C., stop working and move to a different area because of concerns over "armed militia" threatening government workers in the region, according to an email sent to federal agencies helping with response in the state. Around 1 p.m. Saturday, an official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, sent an urgent message to numerous federal agencies warning that "FEMA has advised all federal responders Rutherford County, NC, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately. The message stated that National Guard troops 'had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying there were out hunting FEMA.'"

While Black Panthers and Leanord Peltier are still in prison 50 years later for doing considerably less. American justice is nothing but a crap shoot with loaded dice. All weathermen are free today. You think their religion or their parents' money has anything to do with that?
