Not All The Important People are Public Names

Worth noting in past 72 hours:
- Statements in defense of Constitutional restraint by leaders of active-duty military;
- And very prominent retired military (Mullen, Mattis, Dempsey etc)
- And former prez's
- And leading clergy

Silent: those *elected* to defend Const, GOP Sens https://t.co/LpbmsMJUi7

Y'all, a bunch of these protests are bigger on a Wednesday than they were on Saturday. In the face of brutal state repression.

They'll be bigger still this weekend.

This isn't going away ✊

And here's a handy roundup of the ninth night since George Floyd was murdered, that isn't encapsulated in a tweet.  And even MarketPlace on NPR this morning is talking about "economic disparity by race."

In the end, We the People will have to defend the Constitution.  Sometimes, no one else will do it for us.
