Rep. Lauren Boebert not only supports the 1st and 2nd amendments she is willing to stand up and fight for them. Are you?

I didn’t think so.

“Taylor-Greene and Boebert sure like attention.”

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I’m glad they’re bold and outspoken. They’ll be able to counteract The Squad.

Isaiah 3:4 And I will make mere lads their princes And capricious children will rule over them,
Isaiah 3:5 And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder, And the inferior against the honorable.
Isaiah 3:6 When a man lays hold of his brother in his father's house, saying, "You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your charge,"
Isaiah 3:7 On that day will he protest, saying, "I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."
Isaiah 3:8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, Because their speech and their actions are against the Lord, To rebel against His glorious presence.
Isaiah 3:9 The expression of their faces bears witness against them. And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.
Isaiah 3:10 Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions.
Isaiah 3:11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him.
Isaiah 3:12 O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray, And confuse the direction of your paths.
Isaiah 3:13 The Lord arises to contend, And stands to judge the people.

Funny you should write that. God through Isaiah talked about that a long time ago.

The only avenue left is the one closest to home. We must direct our non-violent advocacy on a more personal level, like Dr. Martin Luther King and Saul Alinsky (pick a target, freeze it, etc.)

Consider:
William Boroughs said that the only way to defeat heroin addiction was to throw all the street addicts in prison. He said the drug world was analogous to a pyramid—remove the top stone and immediately another would move up and take its place. I would never advocate such an oppressive program, but in a larger sense, there is something we should consider. He said, if the lowest tier was removed, the edifice would crumble. Uprooting foundation of oppressor—through consciousness raising educational efforts must now be our goal. We must struggle defiantly, fiercely—but always peacefully.

Consider: our efforts have targeted privileged, protected and insulated elites, targets far beyond our reach. Now we must focus on more convenient and reachable persons of influence for non-violent activism—like the local dem ward healers, labor thugs, media and allied businesses.

Again our actions must be non-violent—limited to marches in public by-ways, near public building, and silicon valley affiliated corporations. Perhaps, from time to time, an alley-apple or Molotov cocktail will need to be launched through a window as an expression of the urgency of our need to be heard—as long as we only target objects and harm no one; we must be non-violent arsonists and wreckers. The bureaucratic bourgeoisie will only hear us when their material wealth and privilege no longer separates us. We must seek them out from their exclusive places of refuge—restaurants and vacation retreats to share our non-violent message. The machinery of oppression must be brought to a stop before they will consider—really reflect and profoundly meditate on the peaceful cries we make.

Like Abbie Hoffman said:
“The revolution begins at home.”

Non-violently of course.

sued Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert on Sunday after being blocked from the first-term federal lawmaker’s Twitter account.

I can easily see a judge saying the plaintiff has a Constitutional right to not be blocked but at the same time say there's not a problem with Twitter blocking President Trump.
