AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Just think about how absurd it is that Police in Chicago have to protect their citizens from the Federal Government.

it was in project 2025, are she and I the only people who fuckign read it?

I don’t know who needs to be reminded of this, but the US military is meant to be apolitical, loyal to the US Constitution and independent of any party or political movement. It’s not a President’s personal militia, campaign prop, or loyalty test.

Where have we seen this before?

Thinking about this piece from 2024 today...

Please. At least give the FBI a chance to sharpie the ammunition before you jump to conclusions about the motivations of the latest mass shooter.

America: let’s put a moronic criminal in charge of our finest men and women in uniform. Also America: let’s hope our finest men and women in uniform do not listen to the moronic criminal we put in charge of them.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

Why is our military the envy of the world? It’s not because of the training, funding, weaponry or combat standards. It’s because Americans from all walks of life come together to serve their nation, united by a deep love of country. 1/4

The Jimmy Kimmel thing had me wondering what Trump would say about George Carlin, then I thought, what would George say about Trump. Unfortunately, George ain't around any longer. May he R.I.P. So I asked chatgbt. Here's one line. 🤣🤣🤣

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better. An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever. AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

Remember a few weeks when the told the media that any reporting would have to be government approved ? youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Is unelected Stephen Miller a Duke or a General? In either case he is running a private army, ICE and is now murdering people in our name. Arrest Stephen Miller.

I can’t believe how depressing it is to watch Trump crush norms, and institutions and to wonder if people are noticing.

I don’t know who created this picture but it is poignant…🌸

Democrats are in full attendance, while Republicans are nowhere to be found. At least one side is working for us.

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created. They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care. NO.

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

From the files of Captain Obvious.

…and the corporate media and press played along

Pete Hegseth's Not competent To Lead a Wiener Wagon

I don't know if people -- in general -- know what "authoritarianism" is. I don't know if they really know what "fascism" is. But I think they're far clearer on what a dictator is. Choice of words is very important right now.

Good news, but I hate that it took a judge to do it.

You just call everyone you disagree with “radical left”

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

I’ve been in a boycott since Election Day, buying the absolute minimum of only what my household needs. I’m going to focus a *much reduced* holiday spending on local & independent small businesses. By choice, gone are the days of abundance.

ALL prices are higher, even American made products. Damn near everything relies on imported goods (thanks GOP) and when it doesn't, corporations pretend it does anyway, raising prices for more profits. Unrestrained Capitalism will devour us all.

You don’t have to do layoffs. And he specifically says that they are going to permanently terminate civil servants who are registered Democrats.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

👇🏽😳

You’re allowed to be depressed for 10 minutes a day, but then you need to go outside and act, says @ejeancarroll.bsky.social

It is a coup to keep their fat, fascist leader, a 5 times draftdodger, indefinitely in power

Apparently according to Kegsbreath and his "no more stupid Rules of Engagement" remark. Also, according to the Commander in Chief, the military will be using American cities (Democratic cities, anyway) as their "combat training ground". The US invading itself. Putin must be laughing his ass off.

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?
