In case it somehow wasn't already obvious how completely repellent the administration's legal harassment of Becca Good (Renee Good's widow) is, *six* senior career prosecutors in the local US Attorney's office resigned today because they wanted no part of it.
SIX.
@mattblaze are we really crying for career state prosecutors in a country with the 5th highest incarceration rate in the world? 1.8 million people in prison.
I think we're up to 11 now
@darwinwoodka They've unleashed something with this.
@mattblaze
The best thing they could have done was refuse to be complicit, but not resign and stay in post.
By resigning, that just speeds up the process of the installation of a complicit replacement. Stay in post and tell em to get fucked.
Wow

The Minnesota shooting case is now metastasizing unlike any i've ever seen. The successive resignations of heads of the crim section at CRD and 3 top career prosecutors in Minn -- who had hung in all this year n/w/stg multiple outrages-- means the Department is in open revolt in DC and the field.
@jackcole @mattblaze @bsky.app.profile.harrylitman.bsky.social
Understand, they'll just install someone compliant. They're gleefully happy when these folks resign, because it's less people to get in the way of their corruption.
@xenonchromatic @jackcole They could simply have fired them.
Resignations like this serve an important purpose. They bring a great deal of attention - especially among those familiar with the workings of agencies - to the gravity of a problem
One might reasonably wonder what you hope to accomplish by claiming it's futile.
@mattblaze @jackcole I was discussing this very point with my partner in a coffee shop this afternoon. Yes, 10, 20, 50 years ago, a resignation could send a "powerful message" that would be sufficient much of the time to pump the brakes on a political witch hunt. Matt, respectfully my guy, those days are gone. No amount of resigning to send a message is going to stop these people or change their path.
@mattblaze holy moly - It makes me all the more appreciative for every single person who still gets out there to protest, to film, to bear witness
Do we know of any Democratic politicians who are going out and standing or marching with people? Who’s helping to train / focus spotlights? ( @heidilifeldman this is a question I keep pondering for you as well)
@StephanieMoore there are local Dem pols doing this in Minneapolis @mattblaze
@mattblaze
Including the Trump appointed Joe Thompson, who only 2 weeks ago was going to investigate the Walz admin regarding fraud.
@mattblaze fuck. Led by utter scumbags.
@mattblaze 🔥🔥🔥
Unfortunately, they will be replaced by loyalists
What every US citizen can simply do NOW:
get an ever growing mass of concerned to
contact their reps, write/phone/email/scream outside their offices,
with #impeachment demand, or, we #primary you with someone who will;
find those candidates https://www.citizensimpeachment.com/
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative#
do #Democracy
I hope you, and the people you are in contact with, contact your congressional representatives, demand the return of our country, that they immediately impeach Trump!
@mattblaze For comparison, only the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General resigned during Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre. To see six high-ranking people resign in protest...
I'm fucking exhausted, boss.
@mattblaze
If they've been fine with things thus far, the distinction now may be that their job would involve conduct likely to get them personally charged and/or disbarred at some point.
