Yes, friends forever. Allies are best aligned when 'we're in this together, always.' Adversaries aren't curbed by 'this doesn't please us, but we'll get over-it.' Notion of #allies & #enemies "not forever" is the worst. Unless claiming aggressor-villain ain't so bad & proven friends are unworthy.

Mainstream Update. Some national media groups have recently advanced (from future 'concern' to present acknowledgment) in describing steps being (or to be) taken by the administration in these last 65 days. Thus far, there's been no half-stepping #mainstreammedia #midterms #democracy #votingrights

It's scientifically possible to put the toothpaste back in the tube. It'll be messy, and needs to be done precisely. A major mission to get things back on track, and we will, but we'll need global patience while making strides. We're so far off-course, it'll take us lotsa' years. But gotta believe.

Boats obliterated, no probable cause. Schools leveled, no basis could exist. Unsafe air travel, for others. Bleach, measles, cool. Drilling, in the neighbor's yard. Not a bad word to say, about the really bad guys. The other one is sleepy. McCarthy scourge, 72 yrs later. 83 days until the midterms.

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

After the lame farce of McCarthyism & the 1954 Red Scare, we went 72 yrs without credible accusations of domestic communism, but now, it is raised again, like a zombie boogeyman available for those in search of a new fear. Who would waste America's time with such a ill-fetched distraction, and why?

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Much being said about having the anti-weaponization 'settlement' terminated in writing. But, any agreement entered into can be re-crafted in many forms and ways, if the zeal for ill-gotten gains & evasion is there, esp. with both 'parties' on the same side. With bad faith, the deal is never final.

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Ranting can be cool, but it's also fair to ask: is this new info, is it accurate, are there other motives for asserting the matter, has the info been thoroughly tested, is there a more objective reality that's the actual truth, what's the most efficient way of ensuring that truth prevails? #midterms

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Let's reduce the why-the-hell? wondering, instead emphasizing our most efficient strategies - 100% disciplined and pragmatic - because we do understand, have the right plan and "we shall" rise to the occasion ... it's the ideal time for focused deployment, as we're now 114 days out ... the #midterms

030

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Not sure why credible journalists report - whether he Would or Wouldn't defend the #NATO countries - and don't address how it could possibly matter, whatever he said, when his consistency record is less-than-zero, and that call remains exclusively within the province of the new congress.

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Assuming that, less the shown interference, a guy won a 1st term. Then, claims he also won a 2d term - as many rally followers feel - he magically served in that 2d term. Then, the current term would be the impermissible 3d term. Under no theory, could the in-between term be deemed the '3d' term 🎉

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

We're in a world of such tenuous footing, treacherous zig-zags and the unexpected undoing of norms & guarantees on an hourly basis. So, isn't it cute when we're promised that some new notion is a 'permanent' achievement, and that we'll 'never-ever' have to worry about that concern anymore #relieved

000

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

A more stringent analysis may be helpful when considering the mythical #voting fraud 'efforts' - those so 'diabolical' that they're 'impossible to prove' - in court, they have a customary term for that, which is usually, 'case dismissed' #elections

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

We're now approximately 5 months out, from a landmark point of fundamental change, where things will: (i) become markedly better, (ii) trend approximately the same, or (iii) get increasingly awful. May be a mixed-bag of tweening for a while. But the ball's in our court to shape the future #midterms

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

When being mean-spirited and conniving is viewed as strength, and caring with heartfelt compassion is dismissed as showing weakness, seems we'll definitely need to recalibrate the overall approach to governing and leadership asap, and steer ourselves away from this abundant toxicity.

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

We should feel proud as our nation stumbles into its 250th this summer - not because we were perfect, and often not close to good - but because there've been a set of guiding principles holding us together, and optimism is an essential trait as we face challenge, hoping for excellence up-ahead.

In the spirit of Law Day, there are some truths that have proven to be rather consistent over the decades ... this has been a mantra that we have generally abided by, happy May to all 💌 📚 ⚖️ 📚 💌

Anyone ever get the feeling that, "okay, now This is as chaotic, senseless, spooky, unlawful, maddening & wayyy disturbing as it can get" - only to realize, that was just Monday, and now it's Tuesday, and it's already at a whole 'nother level? nahh, it's probably just me. Annnd, wishing us luck 😉

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

The Removal Bar for an official is quite high, as the politician was duly voted-on by the electorate. But, when all main policy pledges are totally disregarded, the opposite of the people's wishes occurs. So, should there be such a high bar to remove the exact opposite of what the people voted for?

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

We're now approaching an approx. 7-month window, wherein we'll have our #mettle fully tested, especially: our ability to focus, strategize & proceed efficiently with a sound action plan - the stakes have never been more clear. The world knows, the season is here @mlbscores.bsky.social #votingrights

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Ever notice that uniformed teams strategically deployed, weaponized & deeply-funded are entitled to be well-choreographed, but Americans asking, 'wait, what the funk is going on here' must be totally grass roots, organic & unsupported #peacefulassembly #redressofgrievances #FirstAmendment #USConst.

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Forum shopping is deemed totally unethical, a violation of an attorney's oath, with offending parties harshly sanctioned. Some steadfastly honor this code, as others aggressively seek more favorable courts, abiding by no standards of decency or fair play. Yet another way the #ruleoflaw takes a hit.

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

We've got this. Maybe just another trite phrase like, it is what it is. But also a nice reassurance that faith itself is something to behold, even without all the detail. And we know, for most unjust actions that unfold, a kind pendulum swing is on the horizon, that'll gently soften the concern.

No. 1 guardrail for Americans & media to focus upon: the Constitutionally Guaranteed right to have Elections, which include the #midterms with Article I, Section 4 ensuring that the times, places & manner of holding #elections for the #senate & #house shall be prescribed in each State. #constitution

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

These are very challenging times for many, for most, whereby it is helpful to have a reasonable plan in place, for how to express oneself, and stay safe, and the approaches could be quite different, depending upon our widely varying circumstances 🤍

Playing Taps 🎺 the song that signals a final farewell.

Many are hoping for a well-reasoned ruling from #scotus on the #tariffs case, as momentum carries forward from Tuesday & there is much work up ahead, but it's a day-to-day process where we can't get too high or low from daily events, steady as we go @nealkatyal.bsky.social @judgeluttig.bsky.social

021

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

After practicing law for 42 years & coaching-up law students in oral argument for 20+, would say that @neal_katyal is the best I've seen, esp. his ability to respond to random hypotheticals & downshift at once from complex legal reasoning to plain & understandable explanations 🦉

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

It's not enough to randomly call out disturbing events, sure we need that too. But primarily, there must be a calendared gameplan for doing what the branches & media are not. A shadow panel of new leaders that goes live daily (not the old re-treads), taking sworn testimony from victims & families.

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Democratically uplifting stories are unfolding everyday that need to be emphasized, most brought by new faces & the people at-large. Does no good to trot-out same characters from yesteryear & ask, why is there no direction? why are poll numbers low? it needlessly perpetuates (creates) negativity.

041

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Soo grateful, thank you ..... also grateful for those days when it seems that we're making a little bit of additional forward progress, hoping it leads to waves of much needed momentum 🤍🌊🤍

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Between being upset, and resisting, sometimes #breathing exercises can be relaxing. Like the one where you inhale a lot, slowly, then another little bit, hold your breath for a few, and then exhale slowly. Unless they outlaw breathing, then we're back to just breathing however, best we can #breathe

As the tide is rolls out, it seems like a true force of nature, as democracy's just slipping away ... and then, little events happen, good things, and the waves of freedom are back, crashing merrily upon our shore. It can be like that, let it be, let's make it be 🤍🗽🩵🗽🤍 @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

When a party and surrounding media dwell on something that didn't go well, restating that the status is bleak, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more useful credo is, we're taking great steps, momentum is strong, and it shall be. Ol' fashioned enthusiasm is highly contagious.

010

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

Understanding that 100s of people must be heard, quick note: nothing prevents indie journalists from bringing such panels fwd, usu. w/ better questioning than congress folks @jimacosta.bsky.social @joyannreid.bsky.social @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and, same goes for the wider podcast community.

020

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Distractions, sure, but hanging on to core beliefs, getting #democracy back on track, overcoming this current maelstrom, a macro course correction, it's highly doable, inasmuch as, 'nothing stays the same' -- Heraclitus, 500 bce.

021

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

Politicians always needed to: have efficient policies, fundraise & campaign long hrs., 'getting primaried' was part of the job, welcomed, because, if a primary couldn't be won, the candidate didn't deserve the office. Pols now feel entitled & run scared from the job description #primaried #campaign

030

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Reality about #leaks, always: leaked info is true, someone wanted it kept secret, for improper purpose, #leaker is never confirmed, #leak was soon to be obvious anyway, best way to keep embarrassment from being #leaked don't do the #leaky thing, and nothing is more boring than threatening #leakers 🩵

020

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Looks like we're officially out of the funk, it took some weeks, though we're now moving onward with essential progress. Will be a bunch to bounce back from, but thankfully, we're very good bouncers.

Keith Haymes @keithhaymes.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

#bluesky yes, there's a blue sky, just beyond the bismark, sure, parts of the palm can be thorny, its fronds may wither, but it's been growing strong as long as we've been in practice, could hit it with a truck at high speed, and it's not going anywhere, of course it needs water, like #democracy 💙

Steady focus is very important, but can get grueling, whereby distractions can help, like when, pitchers and catchers report ⚾ #nyy @yankees #nyyankees @mlb @nyy
