trump calls for Pritzker to be jailed and idk what else anyone needs to start talking about impeachment. Who cares if Republicans oppose it ---- PUT THEM ON THE DEFENSIVE

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

Are you starting to get it? He was always going to hit us. You will not change the math by insisting that people assume some magical form of perfect victimhood that somehow reels in a monster. That's not real. And I am so sick of hearing it.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Why hasn't any journalist asked elected Dems if they condemn violence when trump says this or that [incitement to violence against his enemies]? Lol we know why idc if anyone's asked the (more violent) right-wing of American politics...

Last night, dozens of pepper-balls targeted the peaceful protesters on the sidewalk outside the Portland ICE facility. The unprovoked use of chemical munitions left this man doubled-over in the street, but he quickly recovered after the help of volunteer medics.

Louisiana Racism, as ever

I dunno man, try listening to marginalized people *before* shit goes wrong, and maybe it won't keep being like that

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

That's one helluva fever dream

Simply put, donald trump is hell-bound

Neither courts nor politicians will protect us. Not even state authorities can protect us (see IL state cops choosing the side of fascism). They literally will not stop until the streets run red, as is the fascist playbook.

Framing matters. Protestors are never "taking the bait" If ICE intends to entrap people. Do the people no longer have the right to self-defense? Are we on the cusp of overturning Heller???

After being there last night, I can say for a fact that the only time it felt like a "warzone" was when US stormtroopers started shooting civilians to look cool for their buddies

I'd prefer to be not-on here rn, but it's a crowded room, and I have no choice

Immergit bouta be fired via the so-called "truth social"

Judge Immergut in Oregon v Trump now: "I grant plaintiffs second motion for a TRO." Federalized Texas and California Guard to Portland is a "DIRECT CONTRAVENTION" of court's TRO from Saturday. Both on 12406 statute and Tenth Amendment grounds.

Trump and the GOP are gearing up for Martial Law. Suspending our rights, punting the elections, crushing critics, and elevating Trump into Supreme Leader. Every week, they're searching for their Reichstag Fire or trying to create one.

Stephen miller is actively calling for a civil war right now on Twitter. I really do not think Americans are taking in the reality that the federal government is openly admitting to waging war against democratically held cities and states and what comes now that this is being openly said.

I will be worried if the State brings back tar and feathers, but encouraged if The People bring back tar and feathers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

How do I get into spaces to ask these legislators what the 2nd amendment was written for? They won't respond to my letters 🤓🫣😞

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny": Listen for dangerous words.

This is like not calling the little malignant black spot under your toenail cancer until it's metastasized into your lungs and bones

Failed state

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

brutal lol

They want to treat American cities like Gaza

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Black Lives Matter was the last true bastion against fascism that posed a real threat to what the regime is now And instead of supporting it, many of you “both sides’d” it because of your loyalty to carcerality and lack of imagination Our ancestors fought for a world they’d never see. You can too

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

If I set up a Charlie-Kirk style table and I said that Palestinian lives matter, how long do you think it would be before someone runs me over with their F-150?

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Trump is cranky enough to send in the military because it's been so long since he had a little "vacation" on Epstein island

Where can I buy tapioca in bulk?

Why am I getting ads for a whippets class action lawsuit? Who do you have me confused for?

I hate being right but I've been telling folks all week that the courts aren't going to stop the military from coming to Portland. After Trump's DOJ bombed in court earlier today, they are just going to come up with a bullshit reason to send in the military before a bad headline comes out.

hold on just a second here

Here's the creator of The Punisher specifically mentioning challenge coins using the Punisher logo as a huge problem and a sign of a law enforcement agency that doesn't understand its mission. /this is a Reddit comment reproducing a statement supposedly included in a SyFy article now offline.

Consolidating power on top of consolidating power

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

this is as open an admission that an entire agency is engaging in routine constitutional violations that I can imagine

Happy I-Fuckin-Warned-You-About-Project-2025-And-You Called-Me-Crazy Day to those who celebrate

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

There is no "don't take the bait", Nazi's will keep doing Nazi things until they are physically stopped by overwhelming force. Thousands of peaceful protesters distributed across several protests so the reactionaries are spread too thin? We have a pretty good chance
