Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

They would vote based on a “promise” by a party that takes orders from a felon? My god… any one of them voting for this, who aren’t retiring, need to be fired in their next election. Did Tuesday’s election mean nothing?????

Any news outlet that isn't leading with the regiime's declaration of civil war is complicit in whatever is about to happen.

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

it's not supposed to be the president who starts a civil war

tfw a D mayor in Louisiana feels OK about the whole ICE concentration camp and arbitrary renditioning thing because the ICE folks come to the town parade

ngl, I want to ratio the fuck out of this post comparity Normandy to YC www.linkedin.com/posts/johnto...

People need to go to prison for these stories.

The professional agitators are ICE.

We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

Will the military personnel at the parade be carrying live weapons? Asking for a friend.

God I love America, where someone talks about how their 67yo mom only has two years of living expenses saved, and the thread is full of people saying that only option is the mom has to keep working. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION.

6800 people who already probably have leases for next year, spent years of their lives working to get to where they were now upended because Trump and Noem and Stephen Miller want to crush a major export sector of this economy, oh, and also a source of cures for diseases and knowledge of all sorts.

@washingtonpost.com does it violate legal procedures or not? This doesn't seem like a hard question.

ok @notion.com here's the thing, I don't want three separate apps whose icons are b/w and not rapidly distinct, can you please just put this all in one app with viable keyboard shortcuts to navigate calendar, mail, and Notion itself??

If they suspend Habeas Corpus, it won't just be for "migrants" or "illegals" or "criminals." If they suspend Habeas Corpus it will be for you and me and whomever this regime decides is unfit, undesirable, and a threat or a problem. This is how it works. This is how it's always worked.

The more I think about how absolutely impotent the Democratic party was in the post-election period, the more I realize that the Democratic party is not part of the opposition. Individual members, sure. But a party that is this absolutely derelict in the moment deserves no favor.

Have you been to an Asian market lately? I went to my local HMart and things are not OK and they're not going to be OK.

Please email [email protected] and remind them that US-born citizens CANNOT be deported, even if mom says it's ok (which is dubious at best). The proper word for this is kidnapping.

If David Hogg isn't careful, I might just give money to the dems again.

hey @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com why isn't US DISAPPEARS 3 CITIZENS at the top of your front page instead of something about a dead guy?

This is textbook (competitive) authoritarianism

Did you vote for this?

Dear Dems: Polling shows only *generalized* approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only *help* Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals." newrepublic.com/article/1941...

Call it what it is: a race/ gender purge.

Right because they are not running for re-election. I don’t know how else to say this. They. Aren’t. Running. For. Reelection.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

THEYRE NOT EVEN SAVING MONEY THE DEFICIT IS GOING UP EVEN FASTER NOW AND WILL INCREASE WITH ANOTHER BATSHIT ROUND OF TAX CUTS LIKE WE DID BEFORE AND DIDNT WORK THEYRE JUST FIRING PEOPLE TO DESTROY THE GOVERNMENT THATS THE ENTIRE REASON TO KILL YOUR GOVERNMENT AND REGRESS US. AMERICANS YOU DUMBASSES

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

One of the most bizarre and extraordinary examples of American cultural extremism is that being a member of institutions which regularly create large-scale supply chains for child sexual abuse is routinely used as a credential for how credible and trustworthy public figures are alleged to be.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual. cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

I hear news that Rs are afraid to speak up because they fear that violence will be directed at them. George Washington might like a few words ...

so when did germans stop being welcome in the rest of the free world, asking for a friend

It sure would be a shame if they only got input from Republicans.

leopards are coming for so many faces

Aaron Petersen is the Dean of Men at Hillsdale College. His email is not hard to find. I just sent him this.

just ventured into X for a bit and no joke after about 2.5h of interacting I'm on the phone with a police officer to make sure there's a note about my address in case I get SWAT'd

With so many contracts being ignored, when does this start to affect the faith & credit in USD? Oh, that's the point isn't it.

This is a reluctant ruling that provides a roadmap.

It brings no immediate relief but it’s worth reading Judge Chutkan’s TRO decision storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

By Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz.

@tomtomorrow.bsky.social have you considered doing any protest art that I might print on a yard sign or a postcard?

tfw you realize scientists and educators suddenly need to be a "suspect" class for the sake of interpreting the equal protection clause.

A question: *Setting aside* whether the president can override congressional spending decisions, do the courts have a place in saying, "This will cause so much harm that we can't let you do it"? It seems to me the answer is no, and that impeachment is the only remedy available. /1

There's like three hours of discourse to have with my kid about the last 10 minutes of the show.

Oh fuck you yes it very much is.

REGRET, REJECT, RECRUIT. Idk if this is the right actionable message, but: I own both thishouseisasafehouse.com and renouncetheright.com, and I have a deep interest in sites, yard signs, door hangers, and stickers. Let me know if you see an opportunity.

REGRET. REJECT. RECRUIT. - Trump voters, do you regret your vote? - If not, do you still assert that you reject both fascist and nazi views re the current moment? - If so, are you willing to engage your fellow voters in a campaign to explain how to call attention to and prevent emergent fascism?
