Apr 14

One friend wrote to tell me we should stop because we're just provoking Pissolini to use the Insurrection Act to declare martial law.

I wrote back saying Timothy Snyder disagrees with a link to a page discussing why we Do Not Obey In Advance. No response.

I wrote again asking if he'd looked at my link. I also said that historian Heather Cox Richardson & others encourage us to keep protesting. Still no reply. Not much of a friend, it turns out.
