The regime has indicted, arrested and/or handcuffed a circuit court judge, a mayor of a city in New Jersey, a sitting U.S. Congresswoman, & a sitting U.S. Senator. The pattern is unmistakable, the message loud and clear: “Don’t make trouble, or we’ll come for you.” @nycjayjay.bsky.social

It suggests MAGA considers any political victory but their own to be illegitimate and considers themselves justified in removing those government officials with violence: a continuation of the attempt of Jan 6, 2021, to overturn the results of a presidential election." @hcrichardson.bsky.social

This from Homeland Security Security Kristi Noem is not acceptable, under any circumstances. If you believe this is the role of this administration, then you do not support our constitution. If you believe this, then you are at least supporting a fascist and worse could mean you too are a fascist.

Demonizing immigrants. Weaponizing fear. And building camps—not for justice, not for safety—but for vengeance. Dachau’s first inmates weren’t Jewish. They were union leaders. Journalists. Political enemies. The playbook is the same.

Every single person within US territory, citizen or not, criminal or not, legally here or not, is entitled to due process and equal protection under the law. You don't have to like it, but you'll like the alternative a hell of a lot less when they come for you. @stonekettle.bsky.social

They heard things were bad all over, and refused to believe what they saw with their own eyes. They were told inflation, and the price of eggs, and people of color and immigrants were all coming to take away their jobs, without reading the writing on the wall, that he was coming for them.

the only way we will get out of this quagmire is those who support him need to realize they are directly being negatively impacted, and not someone else they dont know, and hopefully that should open their eyes to what exactly is happening. Otherwise there is no end to this nightmare
