I hope it leads to record voter turnout among people who care about liberal democracy, but I was counting on that in 2024, too.

The National Guard & military police were both sent to terrorize Water Protectors at Standing Rock. Obama just said "let's wait & see how it plays out" They used chemical weapons on Water Protectors, shot them with water in freezing temps, locked them in cages, shot them with rubber bullets, etc

Will defer to lawyers, but deploying active duty Marines to suppress domestic dissent is almost certainly a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and illegal. It's very possible this would represent an unlawful order that military leaders would not be bound to follow.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

Why are people so eager to embrace defeat? If 200,000 voters had changed sides in four states, none of this would be happening right now. And we heard the same arguments in 2017: There will be no midterms. Trump will never let 2020 happen. It's all over. And yet, it wasn't.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.

The Jewish community is in pain. Antisemitism is surging and it’s mostly met with silence. Eric Ward of Race Forward is right. Antisemitism doesn’t just threaten Jews, it destabilizes Democracy itself. Don’t be silent.

Insurrection Act being called over LA, masked agents kidnapping, Palantir creating mass minority report database on all Americans, tanks rolling into DC for authoritarian military parade… Be for real. The transition has happened. Time to stand up for our country.

ICE targeted an elementary school graduation to target allegedly undocumented parents. ICE is arresting US citizens & documented immigrants, all without a warrant. Now as people peacefully organize against ICE fascism, Trump deploys the National Guard against us. Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

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."

1/2 Tom Homan doesn’t have the authority to send in the National Guard—only the governor does. His threats are not law—they're fascist fantasy. This is a man who oversaw family separations and wants to crush dissent with military force. The protests in LA are not chaos. They are democracy in action.

Your citizenship cannot protect you from their lawlessness, from their recklessness, from their need to fulfill a quota, from their hate. Due process can. Either we give due process to ALL, or there is liberty and justice for none. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

For libs still insisting that Dem electoral failures are purely because voters are racist & not because Dems suck, I have questions: Why did 200+ counties that voted for Obama twice then vote for Trump? Why did Trump increase his support among people of color?

This is the kind of shit people warned about in dystopian novels. Except it’s not fiction — it’s the Supreme Court giving DOGE full access to your most sensitive personal data. No consent. No oversight. Just power.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.
