How much more "there" do you think we need to get before people of conscience who take their oath to the Constitution seriously need to stand up and refuse to be enablers of galloping fascism in this country.

These are *Texas* national guardsmen being deployed in Illinois over the objection of the Governor and the people of that State in response to a non-existent crisis so they can instigate an incident that can be used to justify invoking the Insurrection Act so Trump can grab even more power.

I have a grip. It's time for everyone else to wake the fuck up.
