This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump moving his inauguration inside away from the pubic & rolling out a red carpet for billionaires (even having them stand in front of his cabinet) feels like a layup for messaging, but half the Democrats who called Trump a fascist or oligarch are there clapping too
