“Hegseth and Trump have gone after the wrong guy with Mark Kelly--Arizona Senator, decorated Navy veteran, astronaut-- and they are only further demonstrating their hostility to our Constitution and their weak leadership.“ www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-and-...

Nothing to see here, folks! (No really, there’s literally nothing to see.)

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Did the federal government convert Alcatraz back to a working prison after Trump saw a movie? No How about send troops to Portland after Trump watched a 2020 George Floyd clip on Fox? Yes His enablers choose which insanity to act on, knowing he'll lose interest and forget

The reason this ad works is not just that it appeals to a lot of Americans, but that Mallory looks and sounds like someone who genuinely cares about this. We need more relatable and authentic candidates. Mallory is that.

Listen and wake up! Red States deploying troops to blue cities is a big deal!

Do like this, and not like in Alaska

Happening in Texas right now

She has a point! 🔥

Newsom: "Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it's coincidental? ... people are scared ... you have a US Senator thrown on the ground. JD Vance -- his name is Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla ... wake up, America."

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

Historians are the most valuable people in society right now. Politicians, reporters, editors and pundits can't meet the moment because the vast majority are either unaware of the historical events preceding it or they're simply incapable of synthesizing them. Historians are our pathfinders.

Trump and the American People — Two Ships Crossing in the Night talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

I’m glad the experience of American citizens, also young people just trying to play ball, laws bare the utter senseless cruelty of the unconstitutional racially profiling this is.

Kinda makes sense to me

We should be preparing for climate change, not reacting to disasters.

MAGA, where stupidity and ignorance is a virtue.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

🍿

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Iran saved Russia as it was about to collapse with drones and missiles. FYI

Three bad options

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

Where is Trump? Why hasn't he said anything?

This hits hard

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump only cares about quelling violent protests, or quelling protests writ large, when it's protest against him. That's fundamentally undemocratic."

"Neither Los Angeles nor California is mentioned in the memorandum. Trump’s order is an open-ended authorization for the secretary of defense to mobilize as many troops as he wishes for as long as he wishes, and to deploy them anywhere he wishes.” www.thebulwark.com/p/its-always...

Welp, I guess it wasn’t a lie.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Abolish ICE

“Because when a political movement lies compulsively, rationalizes cruelty, and flinches at accountability, the question isn’t just ‘what do they believe?’ but ‘why must they believe it?’” open.substack.com/pub/theratio...

The symbolism of this in conjunction with militarized raids in our city’s needs strong countermeasures.

🤔

I’m skeptical.

This is a time when we need courage. Courage to stand up and be peaceful but loud. Make your voice heard...but not cross into violence. This is a time when your fears are real but you can't let them hold you back. Way too many people in positions of power are self muting. I'm not one of them.

Why this? How can this be?
