Now that the Ninth Circuit has granted rehearing en banc in the Oregon National Guard case, here’s what happens next:

It's only the rest of 3 generations of life, what are you so down about? No fascism doesn't last forever in the grand sense, but for many of us it will.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

ICE and CBP GOONS are patrolling Chicago in unmarked civilian cars, kidnapping and disappearing people for filming.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

It's only a matter of time before they start arresting Democrat leaders for opposing Trump's illegal authoritarian power grab and ethnic cleansing. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I'm sure regular people will not like it when Trump is spending millions of tax payer dollars on parties every weekend while they're gouged on groceries and healthcare.

The poll watchers are back

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Can't wait to see what type of special gold chair Trump places on the dais in his new ballroom.

He’s right. From Target to ABC, we’ve been shown that the ONLY thing that changes the dynamics of power now is economic consequence. Vote with your wallet. Vote with your labor. That is your greatest power today.

What stands out to me is that leftists seem to think they'll lead a successful popularist movement as a fringe political group that openly professes hate and unwillingness to work with anyone else.

I suspect he's only waiting for SCOTUS to rule on whether he can deploy the National Guard. Different statutes but what Trump is really asking SCOTUS to rule on is whether an imaginary emergency can be the basis to invoke emergency powers.

ICE agents are running this play to snatch random protestors. 3-4 agents charge out and tackle whoever they can separate from the crowd. A 2nd group of agents comes quickly to guard and then they gas everyone.

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

The Tyrant isn't leaving willingly. Recognizing this is the only way to understand the threat we face.

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

While officers cleared the sidewalk and street in front of the Portland ICE facility, ERO agents ran out of the side for a targeted arrest. Lots of tear gas.

The polls and numbers show THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM - but that doesn't feel real and visceral to our institutions, which imagine a silent MAGA majority hiding under their bed. You know what feels real? Ten million people in the streets, saying "Look around, THERE ARE MORE OF US"

Adding to this old thread because it’s exactly what I was talking about. The protests aren’t for Trump. They’re to show your neighbors that they’re not alone.

Trump and Miller would probably love to send in stormtroopers to suppress the protests before they really gain momentum. They fear Americans united against them.

grinding my way through kotkin's STALIN (vol. 1) and his read on the russian revolution is striking: the state was not overthrown by force. the military situation was not untenable. there was bread, somewhere. rather, the autocracy self-liquidated as the elites lost confidence in its legitimacy.

I will die on this hill.

Mike Johnson is trying to incite political violence with these lies. Republicans did the same thing during BLM marches. They spread rumors of bus loads of "Antifa" coming to invade their towns, prompting hysterical MAGAs armed with assault rifles to come out of the woodwork to "defend" their towns.

It's time to start talking about jury nullification. This person was defending someone whose 1st and 4th amendment rights were being violated by ICE. We can't force ICE to comply with the law but they also can't force us to convict. She is not guilty.

The hero we needed.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

The Portland Frog is all of us! 🐸✊🏼

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss. More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.
