As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

This, by the way, is why you should never RSVP to a protest that wants your name & address.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Important point from @anthonylfisher.bsky.social: Padilla wasn’t assaulted while asking about some mundane policy issue. He was shoved out and cuffed while Noem was gleefully talking about overthrowing California’s elected leaders by military force. That’s where we are.

ABC News: Trump Team Reaches Across Aisle

I mean sure, the senator was pushed to the ground & zip-tied. And the cops lied about it. And the Sec of Homeland Security said she was there to "liberate" the city & state from their democratically elected leaders. But have you considered that maybe he could've asked his questions more politely?

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

Dick Cheney, 9/10/2006: "I think things have gotten so bad inside of Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."

This is insane and also I hope that seeing a US fucking senator thrown to the ground and cuffed for asking a question will help some of the people who still aren’t getting it to recognize that THE POLICE ARE THE SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE

This is outrageous, and we need answers. If this is how the Trump administration treated a United States senator while the cameras are on, ask yourself: what will they do to ordinary people?

I know this isn’t anywhere near the worst that people have been brutalized in the past few days but something about this is just some of the most flagrantly despicable pig shit I’ve seen so far. What can you even do with a human who chooses to act this way, man? Let alone thousands

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.
