Everybody is all a twitter, literally, wondering about the identity of the anonymous op-ed writer in today’s New York Times, who proclaimed him/herself as a part of the resistance. Rick Wilson, characteristically, moves the discussion onto a different plane, altogether.
2/ This tells me you at least have some vague survival instinct and know that you need a marker on the board for when the walls close in for the last time.
I want you to apply that survival instinct and look to the near future.

4/ C) Most importantly, you're going to get caught. I know. You were careful. The burner phone. The off-campus only contact. The careful opsec.
You're still going to be caught. It's ok. You should welcome it. It's your chance to do the *actual* right thing, finally.

6/ Your only value now is in pulling down the entire system.
First movers? Book deal. Last? "Welcome to Arby's."
The value of the tenth asshole from the WH who says, "I saw all this crazy, terrible, illegal, dangerous stuff and still tried to help" is exactly zero.

7/ No one in the WH will help you. No one there *can* help you.
The edifice is crumbling, the King is mad, and no amount of tweeting, no rally, no Fox filibuster will save it.
Run before they catch you. Tell it all. Save yourself, and help save the country.

Fuck em all but 6 and hope they’re pallbearers.
