When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

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.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Buried inside a 1,000-page reconciliation bill is a proposal to sell off 500,000 acres of public land. Not for conservation. Not for public use. For cash. We’ve reached the line in the sand. Either we speak up now, or we accept this as the new template for how land gets taken.

Tired of everything. Pretending that anything is normal. The dehumanizing of people. The hate. The blatant racism. The lies. The bribes. The corruption. The constant law breaking. The disregard of the constitution. The overall inappropriateness. We're not meant to endure a government like this.😩

Trump’s team is threatening to ARREST members of Congress for conducting oversight. That’s not democracy — that’s dictatorship. We’re not backing down and neither will you. We’ll speak up, show up, and peacefully protest to protect our rights.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Trump wrongly credits Justin Trudeau with removing Russia from the G8, and implies this provoked Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. For the record, it was Harper who led the charge to remove Russia from the G8 in 2014, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (i.e. Crimea) that year. #cdnpoli

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

The Trump administration is carrying out a large-scale operation across the DC area targeting restaurants, clearly trying to round up people for working under the table without papers. Not gang members. Not felons. Not criminals. Dishwashers. Busboys. Cooks. Waiters.

Quite apart from the abuses, misrepresentations and violations associated with the arrest of Judge Dugan, what should freeze your blood in your veins is the eager, systematic promotion of the action by senior administration officials. More police state tactics--their message: Trump is the law.
