Subject: Re: Regular Zoom Meetings - Braver Angels Birmingham Alliance and Charlie Kirk
Tom:
Huge interest in Turning Point USA has been generated at colleges and high schools in connection with Charlie Kirk's murder. Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA flooded with requests for new high-school, college chapters
The Braver Angels Birmingham Alliance should consider whether it can advance its goals by hitching onto Charlie Kirk's legacy of "don't stop talking." DR. CHLOE CARMICHAEL: Charlie Kirk’s Final Warning: Don’t Stop Talking – IJR.
If the Birmingham Alliance thinks this has potential in reaching out to Alabama colleges and high schools to hold Braver Angels type events, I would be interested in participating in efforts to do that.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
P.S. The groups and other parties copied on this email may have their own interests in what I am suggesting to the Braver Angels Birmingham Alliance.

Hi!
It has been suggested the Birmingham Alliance have Zoom meetings every 4 weeks lasting about 30 minutes. I have chosen the third Monday at 6pm. If this is not convenient we can agree on a different date and time.
The agenda would be an update on activities locally and nationally (5-6 minutes); Questions or suggestions for this alliance activities (5 minutes) and then a 15 to 20 minute open discussion on a topic submitted prior to the meeting. This discussion will follow the spirit of the BA way, respecting the input of all, asking questions of curiosity, etc. The Braver Way!
The first topic is the deficit, is it a concern to you? If so, what would you do to fix it?
If desired those interested can stay on the call to discuss for another 30 minutes.
I hope to see you on Zoom
Peace

Is there anyone who wants to do targeted emailing against Auburn University President Christopher Roberts and his firing of Auburn employees for social media posts related to Charlie Kirk?
The focus of the targeted emailing would be President Roberts' message at Auburn University on X: "A message from Auburn University President Christopher B. Roberts https://t.co/0l2mzOFDd1" / X
Please let me know if you wish to do emailing.

Email to Auburn University President Roberts re "Suggested Auburn University protocols re offensive social media posts"

Subject: Suggested Auburn University protocols re offensive social media posts
Dear President Roberts:
This email is being written to suggest alternative protocols that Auburn University might adopt regarding offensive social media posts, instead of the approach Auburn took of firing employees for making such social media posts.
I believe such suggested protocols may better fulfill Auburn's values of "respect, integrity and responsibility" referred to in your statement at Auburn University (@AuburnU) / X, than the employee firing approach that was taken.
The alternative suggested protocols would consist of these:
1. The President's office would solicit that social media posts made by members of the Auburn community that other members of the community consider offensive/objectionable be reported by such other members to the President's office. The President's office would maintain a public file of such reports, including the identity of the member of the Auburn community who made the post that has been objected to and the full content of the post. The member of the Auburn community who reported the post would also be identified in the public file, unless such member requests anonymity. The President's office would notify the social media poster that it has received an objection to his or her post. If the reporter of the post has not requested anonymity, the poster and the reporter of the post will be encouraged to meet in person and converse about the "feelings" and reasons of the poster for making the post and the "feelings" and reasons of the other member in objecting to the post. At the request of either, a representative of the President's office will attend the conversation.
2. From time to time, the President's office would hold campus discussion events at which social media posts that have been objected to would be discussed and the makers of such social media posts may be given an opportunity to discuss the reasons and "feelings" of the maker. Also, there would be discussed whether members of the Auburn community think the protocols that are being followed regarding offensive/objectionable social media posts are helping fulfill Auburn's values of "respect, integrity and responsibility."
President Roberts, I hope you will consider whether these suggested alternative protocols have merit and perhaps make a decision in favor of Auburn University adopting such alternative protocols regarding offensive/objectionable social media posts.
Thank you. (FYI, I am not an Auburn graduate and am not otherwise affiliated with Auburn.)
Sincerely,

Dear President Roberts:
Brian Lyman's article today Who gets to speak freely at Auburn, and who doesn't? | Alabama Reflector concludes by saying, "But if Auburn is going to start obsessively monitoring employees’ comments on public events, you should at least let your workers know what is and isn’t free speech. And who gets to speak freely at Auburn, and who doesn’t."
The below email I sent to you on Saturday suggested alternative protocols that Auburn University could adopt regarding offensive social media posts, instead of the approach Auburn took of firing employees for making such social media posts.
I think such suggested protocols for Auburn to adopt are the best answers to Brian Lyman's questions of "what is and isn’t free speech. And who gets to speak freely at Auburn, and who doesn’t."

Is or is not Trump the demonizer POTUS from Hell?

At 1:40 of the above video, Donald Trump says:
It is long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree, day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the kind of terrorism that we are seeing in our country today and it must stop right now.
I think Donald Trump has amply demonstrated during the past ten years that he is the demonizer POTUS from Hell.

This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the kind of terrorism that we are seeing in our country today and it must stop right now.
I think Donald Trump, during the past ten years, has regularly demonized in extreme, hateful and despicable ways untold numbers of Americans who do not agree with him, and that is unlike anything that has ever come out of the mouth of a President of the United States; and for that I think it is fair to call Donald Trump the demonizer POTUS from Hell.

Everyone knows that Trump "couldn't care less" about national unity, and that the Trump gospel is that “the radicals on the left are the problem,” and “they’re vicious, and they’re horrible." Donald Trump Says 'Couldn’t Care Less' About Mending Political Divide.
Everyone knows that Trump is siccing Stephen Miller to destroy the vicious and horrible radical left. Stephen Miller: We Are Going To Do What It Takes To Dismantle Radical Left Organizations That Foment Riots And Inspire Terrorism | Watch.
What will Alabama TV stations do for national unity in the face of the Trump and Stephen Miller onslaught against national unity?

Dear Alabama Trump resisters:
Please read the below email of the Tea Party Patriots regarding their "Only Citizens Vote bus tour" and think about what should be done to combat in Alabama the messaging thrust of that bus tour.
I advocate that organized, targeted emailing can combat in Alabama the messaging thrust of Tea Party Patriots "Only Citizens Vote bus tour".
Please pass along any suggestions you have for combatting the messaging thrust of Tea Party Patriots "Only Citizens Vote bus tour".
Thank you.

Subject: Only a few hours left to sign the petition!

We are days away from the culmination of the Only Citizens Vote bus tour. After traveling thousands of miles, one thing is clear: a majority of Americans agree that only citizens should vote in U.S. elections! 

We are preparing thousands of signatures to hand-deliver to Congress, and I want to be sure your voice will be heard. Please add your name today.

Current loopholes in the law allow non-citizens to register to vote. It is a clear violation of everything we as Americans stand for and undermines the integrity of our elections.

The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act mandates proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration—closing loopholes that currently allow noncitizens to register and possibly vote in our elections. Sign our petition urging Congress to take immediate action to secure our elections and protect the integrity of every American’s vote by passing the SAVE Act to ensure that only U.S. citizens are allowed to register and vote in U.S. elections.

The U.S. House has already passed the SAVE Act. We have incredible momentum as it moves to the Senate, but without every patriot joining with us, we could fall short.

We have fought for years to ensure the integrity of our elections. This is our moment to safeguard our most sacred duty as citizens and stop the Left's attacks on our institutions. It’s so EASY! All you have to do is add your name!

Join with us to stop the erosion of our principles. Defend America for future generations. Please sign the SAVE Act petition today.

In liberty,

Jenny Beth Martin

For the record, as shared by a friend:
“Charlie Kirk should still be alive today. Violence is not the answer for our civil discourse today. Even when someone weaponizes their platform to harm and hurt people across our nation.
Here's a list of things Charlie Kirk said and did:
Mocked empathy, calling it a “made-up new age term that does a lot of damage”. https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1580241307515383808
Declared some gun deaths were “worth it” for the Second Amendment—openly saying fatalities are a “prudent deal” to keep gun rights. Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to ... - Newsweek
Criticized the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and called Martin Luther King Jr. “awful...not a good person”. Charlie Kirk Flips on Martin Luther King Jr., Attacks Gro... - Newsweek
Amplified COVID-19 misinformation, calling mandates “medical apartheid” and touting hydroxychloroquine as “100% effective”. For Charlie Kirk, Conservative Activist, the Coronavirus Is a Cudgel - The New York Times
Said that according to "God's perfect law," Gay people should be stoned to death. https://x.com/danielsogay/status/1965887308454101427
Described transgender people as an “abomination” and a “throbbing middle finger to God,” using biblical references to cement his stance, and painted LGBTQ+ equality as a threat to American life. https://x.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1701335984309223455?s=20
Pushed the “great replacement” conspiracy, claiming immigrants are planned to supplant white Americans. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/19/us/politics/charlie-kirk-conservatives-coronavirus.html
Sparked outrage in academia with his “Professor Watchlist,” targeting alleged leftist professors. US rightwing group targets academics with Professor Watchlist | US education | The Guardian
Repeated antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories, especially about "Cultural Marxism" in universities. Amid scandal over Turning Point USA’s spending, Charlie Kirk is under fire from the right | Political Research Associates
Publicly called for an "amazing patriot" to bail out David DePape, the man who had assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi. Charlie Kirk: 'Bail Out' Alleged Paul Pelosi Attacker
”My 2cents: this is the result of unrestrained populism, with its doctrine that learning, intelligence and experience can be replaced by done sort of “alternative meritocracy” valuing thing that feel good and suppoet prejudices, myths, conspiracy theories and the idea, as Isaac Asimov said "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'".
Charlie Kirk was 31 years old, with an undistinguished education record and no meaningful practical experience in medicine, psychology, or theology. He told people what they wanted to hear, appealing to their worst instincts and without concern for the consequences.
I am truly sorry a sick, confused young man killed Charlie Kirk, but to lionize him as a martyr is to ignore that he preached the very sort of bigotry and hatred America spent generations trying to eradicate.
To whom should the foregoing information about Charlie Kirk be emailed in order to tell the Alabama people about Charlie Kirk?
Thank you for such emailing suggestions that you make.

Dear Huntsville area TV stations:
The article Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules | Reuters says:
Trump justified both sets of tariffs - as well as more recent levies - under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. IEEPA gives the president the power to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during national emergencies.
"The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax," the court said.
"It seems unlikely that Congress intended, in enacting IEEPA, to depart from its past practice and grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs."
Will or will not Dale Strong rush back to Washington DC to get Congress to enact legislation that affirms Trump's declaration that there is a national emergency and that gives Trump the legal authority he needs to impose the tariffs in question?
Will or will not your TV stations pose the foregoing question to Dale Strong and get an answer from him that you can report to your viewers?

Subject: Practicing non-cooperation at scale
Dear Indivisible Mobile:
This email is prompted by your Facebook post announcing a training session "to build the necessary strength to practice non-cooperation at scale"
Your Facebook post says:

Non-cooperation is a key component of nonviolent resistance, and was a hallmark of the Civil Rights movement, as well as having been a successful strategy for striking back against authoritarian regimes all over the world and throughout history. Non-cooperation is best aimed at the pillars that in good times support a healthy society, but in bad times can be forced to serve an authoritarian regime. The main pillars are Business, Labor, Faith Organizations, Educational Institutions, the Civil Service, the Military and Police. (I would include the Media and Health Care, and you can probably think of some others.)

I think targeted emailing I have been doing in Alabama directed at the legal profession, chambers of commerce, local TV stations, educational institutions, churches, and public health constituents has potential for being strong "non-cooperation."
Some of my targeted emailing is set out at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Rage Against The Regime challenge.
I have been soliciting Alabama Trump resistance groups and others to join in to do ORGANIZED, targeted emailing that I think could make for "non-cooperation at scale." Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Continuation of appeal for organized, targeted emailing
Please call me if you see potential here for discussion.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Hello, Rob, and thank you for getting in touch!
This targeted emailing is exactly the kind of noncooperative effort that we would like to help with or organize among our own members. I see that you are in Birmingham, so would not be able to attend our One Million Rising training here in Mobile this Saturday, but we plan to offer attendees a number of different campaigns to choose to work on. May I include your target emailing campaign and have a member follow up with you?

In the meantime, identifying the Alabama legal profession as "a main pillar that is being forced to serve an authoritarian purpose," today I sent targeted emails to my Alabama lawyers list and Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee list.
The emails put forth to them Joyce Vance's book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy, as my making an initial foray for trying to build "non-cooperation at scale" In Alabama.
My emails are posted at https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2025/08/non-cooperation-at-scale-in-alabama.html.
I hope Indivisible Mobile and the other Alabama Trump resister groups I have been contacting will study the emails I sent today and are stimulated to think about how such emails can built on for further targeted emailing.
I look forward to your getting back in touch.

To Alabama lawyers:
This email avails of Joyce Vance's new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy, for my making an initial foray for trying to build "non-cooperation at scale" in Alabama.
The "non-cooperation" terminology comes from an Indivisible Mobile Facebook post , which said, among other things, as follows:
"Non-cooperation is best aimed at the pillars that in good times support a healthy society, but in bad times can be forced to serve an authoritarian regime. The main pillars are Business, Labor, Faith Organizations, Educational Institutions, the Civil Service, the Military and Police." (I [the Facebook poster] would include the Media and Health Care, and you can probably think of some others.)"
I believe the Alabama legal profession is such a main pillar that is being forced to serve an authoritarian purpose.
I hope many Alabama lawyers join in non-cooperation as regards the Alabama legal profession.
If you disagree with my belief that the Alabama legal profession is being forced to serve an authoritarian purpose, please speak up.
Thank you.

Subject: Re: Organized, targeted emailing regarding Joyce Vance's book?
Laurie:
Non-cooperation at scale in Alabama needs non-cooperating candidates, and Joyce Vance for Alabama Attorney General would be great.
In May, former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Mitchell announced his candidacy for Alaba,a Attorney General, saying "President Trump is moving boldly to restore the United States Constitution - and we must ensure that his agenda takes root not only in Washington, but also in the states. I feel called to play a larger role in that effort in Alabama."
In response to former Supreme Court Justice Mitchell's announcement, I sent him (and other possible AG candidates) an email that I posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 123. In that email, I say:
"My view is that Donald Trump is seeking to undermine the United States Constitution and the rule of law as part of a relentless. overriding motivation on his part to amass unchecked and ultimately unconstitutional power in himself to rule over the United States.
I will be endeavoring to get my view of Donald Trump raised in, and debated by the candidates in, the 2026 Alabama Attorney General election."
Whether or not Joyce Vance decides to become a candidate for Attorney General, non-cooperators in Alabama must find ways to press their non-cooperation in connection with the AG election.
I have ideas for organized, targeted emailing to do this regarding the AG election.
Any Trump resister who is interested in helping out on this should please contact me.
Thanks,
Rob

The page proclaims "UNMUTING TRUTH, UNMUTING PROGRESS, UNMUTING ALABAMA" and further says the page is "A platform for empowering progressives in Alabama and beyond. Join us to amplify voices, share solutions, and push for better leadership."
I am trying to participate in a "non-cooperation at scale" strategy being developed by Indivisible Mobile and particularly am advocating the use of organized, targeted emailing as a tool in the strategy. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Non-cooperation in Alabama at scale
The purpose of this email is to ask whether Unmute Alabama's functioning has room for "non-cooperation at scale" activities and the organized, targeted emailing I am advocating for.
I would very much like to talk with Unmute Alabama about this.
Thank you.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for following up and sharing more about your work. I appreciate the energy you’re putting into organizing and looking for ways to resist Trump.
Unmute Alabama has a very specific mission as a grassroots messaging platform. My focus is making sense of Alabama and national politics in calm, clear, values-forward language — and empowering everyday Alabamians to share those messages with their own networks. That’s the lane where I think we can make the biggest impact.
I’d still be glad to talk with you about your organizing. Do you see a way Unmute Alabama’s focus on messaging might be helpful as you move forward? Let me know when you’d like to have a phone conversation.

Today Indivisible Mobile allowed me to post on its private Facebook page Indivisible Mobile | Facebook the following:
I am in Birmingham.
I have joined the Indivisible Mobile Facebook private group, and I am being allowed to introduce myself to the group and tell the group about organized, targeted emailing that I am trying to promote in Alabama.
I have piggy-backed on the strategy of "non-cooperation at scale" that Indivisible Mobile is trying to develop.
For further explanation of all of this, please read Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Non-cooperation in Alabama at scale.
Organized, targeted emailing seeks to break out of one's likeminded networks and the sharing of messages there, and instead to engage in combat politics in the full arena.
I solicit members of Indivisible Mobile to participate with me in organized, targeted emailing in the Mobile area, and, even if members don't do actual emailing, I solicit their suggestions for increasing the effectiveness of organized, targeted emailing in the Mobile area.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Following making the foregoing Facebook post, I sent an email to my contacts at Indivisible Mobile, saying:
Thanks for the post I have made on Indivisible Mobile's private Facebook page to get this going.
There's lots of directions this may go. Let me throw out some of the things I am thinking about.
Consideration needs to be given to what messaging and communicating is "public" (my blog and personal Facebook; outward directed emails) and what messaging and communicating is "private" (Indivisible Mobile's private Facebook group page; internal emailing). The "private" stuff may, with appropriate permission, get copied and pasted into "public" space.
An immediate form of the latter is that I may copy and paste my Indivisible Mobile post into my personal Facebook, other groups' Facebooks, and/or an email I send to the parties Maura has seen on numerous emails.
In my blog, I have a number of separate blog entries that target particular categories of targets. I may identify parties in the Mobile area who are in those categories and start sending emails to them. I may post in my blog the emails I send and/or may post the emails on Facebook.
I may draft suggestions for emails to be sent by others who are doing the targeted emailing I am urging to be done.
I will post information on Indivisible Mobile's Facebook page about things I am doing (which posting will be subject to monitoring by the administrators).
Please tell me your reaction to my above thinking and your own thinking.

Thank you, Maura, for your very thoughtful email.
I think the question is whether anything will budge Alabama's "institutions," such as Alabama TV stations, Alabama's legal profession, and the Alabama business community.
For more than two years, I have tried reasonable importunings addressed to such "institutions" for them to speak up (or at least have internal discussions), appeals to the institutions' professional self-respect, being public for others to judge such "institutions," and raising the specter of fear of Trump as determining what the institutions say or do. E.g., Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Getting AL TV stations to do better in 2024 elections; Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The condition of the Department of Justice and its FBI and Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: How fearful of Trump is the Alabama business community?
Virtually nothing I have tried has gotten any response from such "institutions."
I have been doing the foregoing by myself, and seeking organized, targeted emailing is to try to overcome the weakness of one and to gain the strength of many.
Thus far, on top of the unresponsiveness of the target "institutions," I am encountering non-responsiveness of parties, such as those who have been receiving my emails that you have been receiving, which parties should want what I am trying to achieve with the organized, targeted emailing.
Most of the parties have not seen fit to communicate back in any way, such as saying they think I am wasting my time in what I am trying to do and making a pitch to me to join in what they are doing, or that they are supportive of my objective but they do not have the resources to help out, or they are supportive and they have suggestions to me for how I might do better in what I am trying to do.
The emails you have drafted are very worthwhile as being initial emails sent by someone other than myself that may stimulate others to do their own emailing and also stimulate thinking and discussion about what forms and content of targeted emails may actually budge Alabama's "institutions" (such as Alabama TV stations, Alabama's legal profession, and the Alabama business community).
So, yes, please send your emails.
I continue very open to having phone conversations with anyone who wants to talk about organized, targeted emailing.
Also, I am copying on this email parties I have copied on other emails, for whatever "stimulation" of them may result.

I'm just trying to get a feel for our role here. I'm thinking we should take your email as a template for local action. We could send an email like this (I've made small changes) to Mobile area TV stations as well and to our own reps? For example:
Dear WKRG News Editor,
The U.S. appeals court has ruled that most Trump tariffs are illegally imposed. A Reuters article quotes the court as finding that "Trump justified both sets of tariffs - as well as more recent levies - under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act...which gives the president the power to address 'unusual and extraordinary' threats during national emergencies. The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency," the court said, "but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax." They went on to say that "it seems unlikely that Congress intended, in enacting IEEPA, to depart from its past practice and grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs."
Will your reporters press Representative Barry Moore to say whether he supports these illegal tariffs? And ask Congressman Moore if he believes there is a true "national emergency" despite this administration providing no real evidence beyond wanting to wield power to which they are not entitled?
Will you or will you not get a REAL answer from Moore that you can report to your viewers?
Thank you.
Congressman Moore,
The U.S. appeals court has ruled that most Trump tariffs are illegally imposed.

They went on to say that "it seems unlikely that Congress intended, in enacting IEEPA, to depart from its past practice and grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs."
As your constituent, I want to know: do you support these illegal tariffs which are hurting Alabamians? Do you really believe there is a "national emergency" even though President Trump has provided no evidence of one, and clearly seems determined to take on powers to which the Executive is not entitled?

Dear Huntsville area TV stations:
The article Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules | Reuters says:
Trump justified both sets of tariffs - as well as more recent levies - under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. IEEPA gives the president the power to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during national emergencies.
"The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax," the court said.
"It seems unlikely that Congress intended, in enacting IEEPA, to depart from its past practice and grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs."
Will or will not Dale Strong rush back to Washington DC to get Congress to enact legislation that affirms Trump's declaration that there is a national emergency and that gives Trump the legal authority he needs to impose the tariffs in question?
Will or will not your TV stations pose the foregoing question to Dale Strong and get an answer from him that you can report to your viewers?
Thank you.
