If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Either a Republican churchcorp has been rattled to its core by a series of horrifying sexual abuse scandals over the past couple of years, or it exists in a local news desert.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Remember this is a fact. Yet the Republicans continue to ignore it as children are shot to death. Why? Proof they are NOT pro-life and never have been. They're pro-campaign donations. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks

Why does she still have a job?

Wreaking havoc without provocation. Tear gas gets into buildings. Hubby got tear gassed while drinking a beer in Berkeley one afternoon. There was a protest blocks away. Reagan dumped tear gas and NG. He got tear gassed more than once. Always by GOP.

That makes sense. Privatize the abduction function, the incarceration function, then eventually the judicial and policing functions. How to run a country like a business. Yarvinism in action.

It is who and what they are, to grimly predictable degree. Misogynist white male racist child molesters and rapists. Deeply twisted, fearful overcompensating weirdos. No wonder they elected trump twice, and still adore him. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

I agree

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

That’s the end game that people aren’t seeing. Why get rid of vaccines? Why make healthcare unaffordable? Why? Because they want certain ppl to die. That is what will happen.

I remember those times. I don’t think many paid the top rate. There were many more loopholes and deductions then, like credit card debt and medical debt. Even insurance was deductible.

I think we all assumed that the Officials comprising the legitimate Government from the before times, in cooperation with the Military, would have a Contingency Plan in place for if the Confederacy found their way back to power and started committing daily Acts of Treason. 😪

Pedophiles protect pedophiles.

We’re only 9 months into this presidency and he’s already sending troops from red states into blue states while clearly stating his motives are political.

So embarrassing.

This was on a local TV news show. I can’t get local news at my home because I dropped cable and antennae don’t receive a signal from that far away.

Abolished!

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America. They just want to kill Americans.

The gnat

The Republican Party is a fascist party that has turned the US into a banana republic that has lost all its former allies and even threatened some of them with invasion.

Like this maybe? bsky.app/profile/capi...

Kavanaugh stops don’t violate the Fourth…apparently. 🤮 Except they do. They DO. THEY ABSOLUTELY DO!! Makes me sick what this administration and SCOTUS are doing to the rule of law and guiding principles of this nation.

Otherwise it would effectively be one state declaring war and invading another state. How can they not understand that?

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Project 2025 says US should only have 100 million people here. So I guess they will just begin their plan to kill the rest of us. 275 million of our citizens. No health care, housing or food should just about do it. They did it to the Native Americans already.

Hubby went to Cal. Based on his studies he went on to write software that increased the power of ICs. That’s one part of why you have a computer in your hand and not taking up a building.

The American Federation of Government Employees filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for inserting partisan political statements into furloughed employees’ automatic out-of-office replies during the government shutdown without their consent.

And why are they allowed to make rulings against the Constitution? I'm so confused.

BRAVO, brilliant anonymous artists' group Secret Handshake —for making this great piece, for employing a veteran movie-TV location manager to oversee the installation on the National Mall, and for the comedy of your public statements. A+

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, birds of a feather flock together. By surrounding themselves with like minded pervs, their perversion seems normal.

Congratulations to the United States for making the Human Rights Watch list for the 1st time in 249 years under the leadership of Donald Trump, just in time for his administration to mark the occasion by proposing to break federal law and slap his face on a 250th anniversary coin

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

🚨 Every year, 700,000 Americans die who wouldn’t if U.S. policies matched Canada’s. Ten miles or a bus ride can mean decades of life lost. Inequality isn’t fate—it’s a choice, and its cost is funerals, trauma, and stolen futures. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/the-cost-o...

Even the local police, who usually hate protestors, has determined that those skirmishes are being caused by ICE not the protestors. The local PD is now refusing to help ICE with protest control because they say that ICE is causing the violence that’s putting their officers and civilians in danger.

Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment, originally founded by her father in 1947, to fight what it calls Trump’s “coordinated campaign” against free expression. Over 550 supporters, including top entertainers, back the effort. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...
