10 years ago, I would have said “Moron! Americans are not THAT stupid!!” Now? Not so much.

This is the universal sentiment of Portland:

We have no choice but to fight. It's time to put our courage on!

I just can’t even about what my beloved America has become.

Trump is deploying and authorizing the military to use "full force" to "quell the violence" in Portland. He's given the order to shoot American citizens in their own country.

The right (maga GOP) is not doing politics. They are engaged in domestic terrorism and psychological warfare. They use free speech and politics as a disguise to hide behind, pretending they are legitimate, which they are not. They are domestic terrorist criminals.

Troops to PORTLAND authorized to use “full force”? Distraction? Maybe. Yet another attempt to foment a violent reaction? Could be. Or at least I am sure that is what Dem pundits will keep telling themselves to avoid actually fighting back. Peaceful sleep = subjugated awakenings. Just $.02

Am I doing this right?

If he loves it so much, why does he think it needs to be drastically changed?

The road to fascism is paved with people telling you to stop overreacting.

“Calm down! We are not there yet!” Sounds logical right? Just remember that by the time they “got there”, it took millions of allied lives to put the free world straight again. Please stop condescending @ me.

“Our democracy depends on using words, not weapons, to resolve differences” -CNN Words are not saving people’s lives from being literally destroyed by the rhetoric and policies of this administration. Nice thought though. But if words and thoughtful discourse worked, we wouldn’t be here.

If you are treating people like animals and spewing hateful rhetoric with every other word you say, your stunned self-righteous indignence that someone became violent is just stupid. Oh and don’t forget to vent your potatoes with a fork before microwaving.

I think with Trump's takeover of D.C. he just declared war on U.S. citizens.

Now the DC police report to Bondi. And still, the collective sits on our hands, mentally incrementing the redline back yet one more step, and telling ourselves that WE must take the legal, non-violent high road in the face of their coup. Now you know why I am not here much anymore. SMH.

I thought Tuesday was Taco night?

Mood-right-now Haiku: Corruption Abounds No shame or apologies The USA dies

1271 days, 13 hours to go… 😬

If Bill Clinton took part in a child sex ring, lock him up and throw away the key. See how easy that is?

All this time I have been under the impression that mandates don’t require tie-breaking votes. Silly me.

@muellershewrote.com, AG, I am a huge fanboy. (Massive long-time crush.) For years, I have consumed nearly everything MSW produces. Today I had to unsubscribe from Refried Beans. Not because the content is bad, but the then-to-now contrast is heartbreaking. Forgive me.

Was unable to join you in the streets today. I am so proud of each and every one of you.

Marines, the time has come for you to make a decision.

Ugh. I ordered a bunch of smoke from Canada. Anyone know what the tariff is going to be on that?

Exploding rockets and cars that spontaneously combust should have been a clue.

Some advice to the doom and gloom crowd who wanna speedrun straight to armed rebellion/dystopic hoarding - if I can’t trust you to show up to city council meetings and give public comment, what the fuck makes you think I’m going to trust you with a weapon at my back?

Pope, you in trouble, bro.

The casual cruelty does still take my breath away.

Speaking of illegal campaign contributions…

Unchecked alliances between tech billionaires and authoritarian states have compromised America’s national security. An FBI Agent has gone public about a Russian intelligence operation that snared fElon Musk and Peter Thievil. kyivinsider.com/fbi-agent-go...

MAGATs sold these T-shirts when Biden was president. The hypocrisy is impressive.

It’s a gorgeous day where i am. Hope your day is as pleasant.

Friday good news!

Trump is literally taking credit for things that were announced when Biden was still in office.

The AEA decision granting the temporary injunction to the NDTX detainees illustrates how the Trump admin shot itself in the foot with Abrego Garcia. By insisting they can’t fix an error, they increased the irreparable harm and need for urgency in protecting due process rights

Great thread!

🧵 SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET WAY FUCKING WORSE. 🧵 1. In grad school, the Challenger was one of the case studies. My professor pointed out that we often ask how something like this could happen, when the better question is why shit like this doesn't happen MORE often.

"There’s a case for getting rid of all those papers and notes one's accumulated over the years. But there could be an original Magna Carta hidden in those piles of papers in the basement! How terrible if it were discarded in a misguided frenzy of spring cleaning!" www.thebulwark.com/p/i-called-t...

Donald Trump took us from the leading economy in the world to our bond rating being downgraded from ‘AAA’ in just four months. So, to answer their stupid question…it can get worse.

Eighty 6 Forty 7

We learned that last year

How are we letting this happen? Georgia is now Gilead

Not a big Bruce Springsteen fan but pretty sure “Born in the USA” is a protest song that calls out government and society for mistreating our veterans while still proclaiming a proud (if not ironic) love of country. Can’t think of anything more poignant and important right now, so of course…

They received presidential pardons for this ‘message’ and it wasn’t seashells on a beach.

Poor little PAB has his knickers in a knot. He’s so jealous of The Boss. www.rawstory.com/bruce-spring...

I produce reality TV. Read my bio. It’s all true. I’ve developed shows with interesting, and at times, fringe people. Aside from the disgusting premise of producing a real-life Running Man with DHS and Noem, there’s no fucking way a network’s BA/Legal department lets this show get made. Sick people

ARM THE SWIFTIES!!!
