Ari Abramowitz @deepmusic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I listened intently to all of it, as I do w most of your videos. I sincerely appreciate your voice & insight. However, in this instance, I think you were being dismissive abt MAGA intentions. So, your passing missive abt liberal panic was not appreciated in light of the recent historical record. 010
Ari Abramowitz @deepmusic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I appreciate your desire to stay cool. It would be gauche to “panic,” like those other libs. But it’s not naive as much an amnesiac to blithely dismiss Luttig’s warning as alarmist. It’s as if you’ve forgotten all the times this admin simply just did stuff that they “couldn’t” do up to & incl Jan 6. 110
Ari Abramowitz @deepmusic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Recent history infuriatingly suggests you are right. They haven’t had a single answer to any Constitutional assault by this administration. Not even on the information front. One hopes that messages from people like Luttig, while we keep banging the table about it, light a fire in enough of them. 020
Ari Abramowitz @deepmusic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Upon reading Luttig’s scenario (refusal to seat a Dem majority House), it occurs to me that Dems might preemptively assert that anyone who attempts this scheme will be tried for sedition or even treason against the United States. 121
