🚨The protests in L.A. are peaceful. Trump’s propaganda machine? Not so much. He’s trying to sell America a war zone so he can play dictator. We’re not buying it and neither should you. Here’s what’s really going down: youtu.be/sDij8ZerBQs

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

There is a galaxy of difference between the Rebellion and the Empire’s faithful. We lead with hope, unity, and courage. We watch each other’s flanks. Even when stunned, struck, or fired upon, we hold the line. Our strength is in our resolve. Our resistance is our weapon.

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC. The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack. ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants Speak up Call Congress: 202-224-3121

So this “President” is cutting NASA funding *a lot* Going to cost so many jobs here and everywhere Some say it’s “extinction level” Unbelievably foolish. I’ll be doing everything to stop this, and trust me, I’ll be reminding Repubs how many jobs this will cost THEIR districts!

HEGSETH: We're not interested in your woke garbage and your political correctness FORT BRAGG TROOPS: *Yeahhhh!*

TRUMP: Los Angeles would be burning today, just like their houses were burning months ago. Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion ... as commander in chief, I will not let that happen FORT BRAGG TROOPS: *Hurrrraa!*

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

NEW | Trump has officially warned that anyone protesting the military parade on Saturday will be met with "very heavy force," signaling a zero-tolerance approach to demonstrations during the event.

President Trump on World War I: "Recently other countries celebrated the victory of World War I, France was celebrating, really.The only one that doesn't celebrate is the U.S.A.And we're the ones that won the war.Without us,you'd all be speaking German right now.Maybe a little Japanese thrown in."

Powerful address to California by our governor, but my local NBC4 newscaster just called him “President” Newsom by mistake lol 😂☠️

BREAKING | Trump just announced he is restoring the names of military bases previously named after Confederate figures, including changing one back to "Fort Robert E. Lee."

I let you comment on that…

The president’s power to call out the National Guard is not a blank check.

The Mayor of LA has issued a curfew tonight — not because the citizens are out of control BUT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS.

The media is going to BOTH SIDES us right into martial law

this is good

Most of the demonstrations have been peaceful, but that’s not what corporate media will show you. Because people dancing in the street—or protesters blowing bubbles—doesn’t fit their narrative. They’ll only show you the worst of it all. That's not what you'll see here:

Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off? Well, they may already be doing that thanks to a shady tactic called “surveillance pricing.” Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains what we can do about it. youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?...

Should we call this proof and then never ever ever ever stop talking about it..ever

“We don’t need another king, another tyrant, another dictator.” — U.S. Army Veteran, 101st Airborne We took an oath to the Constitution—not to serve the ambitions of any one man. What’s happening isn’t national defense. It’s a warning sign.

Since it is being mentioned, let’s make sure we understand what this means: Martial law—replacement of civilian gov by military rule, suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers. It can continue for an amount of time or indefinitely, meanwhile suspending standard civil liberties.

Pete Hegseth makes a mockery of the job, and himself.

You voted for lower groceries and taxes… you didn’t get either. But you do get military in your streets, infighting in the White House, exorbitant spending and manufactured chaos.

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

Dear National Guard and U.S. Marine Corps personnel - Your oath to the Constitution comes before anything else. Before any one man or woman in office. Even before the President. No one is asking you to defy a lawful order. No one is asking you to betray your fellow soldiers or the public.

This threat is pointless because no one except MAGA will be at the parade celebrating Trump’s ballooning ego.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social ) 🇺🇸

Our National Guard troops are sleeping in squalor in Los Angeles. This is how Donald Trump treats the people who serve us. No respect. No dignity. Just exploitation for his political gain. Call them back. Let local leaders lead. Stop the abuse.

Oppression breeds rebellion.

If the prospect of Trump and his minions taking military control of American cities frightens you Call your senators and urge them to oppose his Disgusting Abomination Bill Because if it becomes law, Trump can add $175 billion to ICE And scenes like we are watching in LA will become the norm

💸A price of $30 for russian oil will force russia to seek peace. We ask our partners to reduce the price and really bring the end of the war closer, - Zelenskyy For your understanding, the current price of russian Urals oil is about $60 per barrel.

🇺🇸Congratulations to U.S. Navy Veteran @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on her win tonight in New Jersey! This continues the trend we’re seeing across the country—in blue and red areas alike—when Democratic Veterans and national security experts step up to run, they win.

I’m more interested in and concerned by the reaction.

The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of speech The right to peaceably assemble The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances I’ll be DAMNED if I let some wannabe dictator take away MY rights See you on Saturday, Trump NO KINGS

"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Trump’s War on Lawyers Leaves His Critics Defenseless  
In this video, we examine how Trump’s legal crackdown is leaving opponents defenseless—law firms are retreating under pressure, clients are being cast aside, and the system is buckling under fear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWz4...
