Apparently he can. He’s federalized my state’s national guard and deployed them to LA. And his Sec Def, Hegseth, is threatening us with sending the Marines in. This is what’s waiting for you when you protest and stand up to him and his goons.
Consider the ripple effect: a civil rights violation against one marginalized group today can easily expand to impact others tomorrow. We must stand as one against all infringements, for the sake of our shared future.
You mean dissenting from the rulings that made him king, that let him drag his feet on every single case? I applaud them, but SCOTUS is captured, corrupt and complicit. They're in the jet set crowd for life as long as do what the oligarchs want.
They are AWOL. I was a Boy Scout, I went on the National Jamboree, & went to the White House, Senate, Congress, & Supreme Court I've lost faith in out form of Gov, for me to even speak that means I think we're done.
I'd love to agree with you, but right now, it sure looks like he can. He is a completely unchecked bull in a china shop. The judiciary branch can only do so much without help from f'ing spineless Congress.
This is a coup. A constitutional crisis. They are deporting U.S. citizens and ignoring Supreme Court rulings. Arresting judges. Attacking our rights. Slashing Medicaid. Gutting critical health and essential services. Reject Project 2025. We will not be silenced. NO KINGS. MASS PROTEST. June 14th!
I agree completely with you, but apparently, he can & does. 🤬
We can thank the supreme court & elected repubs for this & everything else that comes of it.
We need to vote out every single one of them.
They are traitors & lap dogs to the "king".
No, we don't. And yet...he is. He is doing just about whatever the fuck he wants to do, or is told to do. Too many ignorant people in this country voted for this guy. And "I didn't know he'd do this" will not work anymore. We knew shit like this would happen.
While technically he can't do whatever he wants, realistically he is doing what he wants with very little opposition. Congress having rolled over should be sent home without pay and the courts are too slow having no real enforcement power. We're in a bad place right now. Very bad.
But so far he is. Sending the national guard to American streets will be another distraction to push his big ugly bill and distract Americans from the Authoritarian bill. That if past will make lower courts a non-factor. Anyway be safe out there. People can only bend so much before they break.RESIST
Tell that to John Roberts who is now encouraging support of Trump in an effort to protect himself and his colleagues. If you want to impeach Trump make room for the impeachment of at least 3 Supreme Court judges.
I think those are very much open questions just now, but I think we can definitely say some of us, liberals, progressives, democratic leftists, don't want the USA to be in thrall to a king who can do whatever he wants. That's not our concept of the USA. Conservatives, Republicans are different.
Supreme Court says he is king and dear ruler can do as he pleases. Dear ruler is a sick sociopath fascist. George Washington didn't protest peacefully. He picked up a rifle and fought! Nero has already lit the fire and is 🎻 fiddling
I think this is a trial run to get a reaction to see how far he can go. NEXT time, I anticipate will be quicker and more lethal.
I still can’t fathom we’re in this mess 🤬
Peaceful civil disobedience is time-honored, exceedingly slow but exceedingly effective. We can start with refusing to pay federal taxes and a general strike.
lol, Americans as a whole have repeatedly proven far too docile and timid even for that, so no, it won’t actually work. For the number of people who will actually do anything at all, it will need to pack a serious punch…or wait until your grandkids are old, maybe…
Sure, the dream is to follow Gandhi in such times, but that was a rare example and by no means the shining success it’s made out to be when you look at the broader picture. England was thrown out, but its governance structures remained and Indian people continue to suffer for it. Break it, be free.
That may be true, but somehow Gandhi had the ear of hundreds of thousands of people. Google:
“By 1922, over 50,000 Indians were imprisoned for civil disobedience. Later, tens of thousands more joined protests, with over 100,000 Indians eventually imprisoned for nonviolent resistance.”
Somehow, the British Empire managed to piss off the people it was subjugating…gee, surprising! 🤣
WW2, and its debts to the US, where what drove it out of India tho. And it was armed resistance in India that drove the costs of occupation even before then.
Trump’s Fascists are on the move. His MAGA Republican base includes ICE’s Gestapo and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate Jews and People of Color. Led by the life-long racist, Donald Trump, these MAGAts are trying to convert the USA into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy.
The most corrupt and politically motivated SCOTUS in the history of the nation said he could and the entire RusPublican party are a bunch of spineless cowards to the very worst people in the history of the nation, the filthy magats.
We have a king in uk 🇬🇧 and he definitely cannot go what he wants bc we live in a democracy. Shame you’ve gone n Korean on the world. 🤡( not personally)
John Roberts: Yes he can Jess! I gave him permission to do anything he wants and my promotion of his Political Question Doctrine allows him to create reality, in a legal sense, out of unchallenged lies. Thus we have to fight invasion and insurrection made up by Trump.
I was hoping it would get this bad even faster. There is only one way this Taco fascist regime finds its end, and it is not through strongly worded letters.
Stopped at the Supreme Court, they won't do anything. Scared, they are afraid of the US Marshals that were protecting them because Trump took them over, this is straight out Hitler / Putin crap going on.
We all got pushback as hard as we can. If all of us activist were closer together, we’d be able to push against this harder. People need to look at there’s a lot of us, blue dots in red states
Congress is controlled by Republicans. Democrats have held the line, but without votes from a handful of Republicans, there is nothing that they can do. If Democrats take back the House and/or Senate next year, everything changes.
He can and will, unless the public stands inviolably in his path.
LA gives many of us hope that the numbers will swell to match the moment, that the march of fascism will fall to the march of liberty, equality, and democracy for all.
he can do whatever he wants… but once everyone comes out at every city making their voice heard, it’ll be very hard for him to continue doing whatever he wants because the large number of people speaking out would be too much for their dumb administration to handle
He would like to be a king but Trump is just a dictator. Modern kings like in GB, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherland, Spain or Norway are nice people.
No one is stopping him. His brownshirts escalating in blue states. ILLEGALLY deploying the NG. And all those tanks just for a parade? It’s happening right in front of our faces.
Isn't he supposed to serve us? Isn't Congress? How is this making my life better? How is this helping our economy or our safety, you Russian puppet? Hard working people trying to raise families are not the enemy, but masked, roided up military wannabes amped up on their racism are.

They are corrupt and complicit.
But Republicans do.
makeup for anti facial recognition
His name is Jesus Christ.
I serve no other King.
Congressional GOP is sitting on its hands.
The SCOTUS is afraid to take a stand.
Some key people need to wake up.
I’d lose the “king” descriptor. Trump is a fucking Nazi. Period.
We can thank the supreme court & elected repubs for this & everything else that comes of it.
We need to vote out every single one of them.
They are traitors & lap dogs to the "king".
I still can’t fathom we’re in this mess 🤬
Show me
March
Occupy
Remove
Replace
They cannot beat, assault, arrest, imprison all of you.
Over half of a nation did not want this tyranny of the rich.
March in your millions!
Our goal in nonviolent resistance is to undermine them.
We can isolate the authoritarian leaders. We can divide them from each other and from their supporters.

Fear is winning, has been for decades.
YOU fucking MAGAS, GOP and pedophile in chief =
are in the same position than the German's army in Berlin in april 1945 =
You have a lost cause and you will loose MF !!!
No crown.
No divine right.
Just consent of the governed, renewed in blood and ballot.
If one man decides he’s above that, he’s not a president.
He’s a threat vector.

(I know Jess has been living this fight for years, but not enough of you are hitting the streets. Cut Cuck Schumer to start with.)
Justice system is too slow and compromised
Legislative system is compromised
The people are what's left
Looks like it's Civil War then.
Protests will be very telling about the temperature of the country
Be There
We can stop him. And we must.
Seems to still be true....
Hopefully it won’t come to this but I’m reminded of my previous quote.
“The courts are the last bastion between civility and a bullet”.
And promising there’re not.
LA gives many of us hope that the numbers will swell to match the moment, that the march of fascism will fall to the march of liberty, equality, and democracy for all.

Singing Kumbaya will not do it.
No fucking kings!
Kinda like the sound of that...hmm 😁
This is the fundamental un-American-ness of the MAGA right.
Noun: an arrest made not by a law officer but by a citizen who derives authority from the fact of being a citizen.
Corrupt SCOTUS won't stop him
Sooooooo?
