Trump: "Portland, Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. I get a call from the liberal governor, 'Sir, please don't come in, we don't need you.' I said, unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like World War 2."

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

Sad day for America.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 And here it is!

“The oath says enemies foreign and domestic… well, we also have domestic.” Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans

They should have walked out. All of them.

Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.

This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.

What a miserable person.

Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier. Rather than a passive optimism, hope is the commitment of those who believe they can make a difference, however small. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The White House said that after the administration eliminates "woke" culture from the Smithsonian, it would expand to other museums around the country. Would that be possible? By @anastasiat.bsky.social

Every blue state governors: stand in unison and redistrict. When we retake the majority back, someone needs to outlaw gerrymandering. As too, remove the Electoral College. One person one vote.

The California Supreme Court late Wednesday denied a Republican petition to block the state’s new redistricting plan. The decision clears the way for Democrats in the legislature to approve the map, which would then be placed on the ballot in a November special election.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

John great article, thank you for the insight

“If you don’t look like us, you are not native or original to America.” Immigrants are not illegally crossing the border, our border crossed them.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

The Trump administration has a new propaganda strategy: turning deportations into one big meme and, in the process, normalizing mass deportation and Christian nationalist narratives.

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
