The president has declared that any Americans exercising their right to protest — not committing violence, just voicing their opinion — will be met with a “very heavy force”

The centrist, moderate, safe, poll-tested position here for elected officials and pundits is to blast the Trump admin using every argument they can. Anyone who isn't doing that should be asked why they're trying normalize the deployments and enable Trump's fascism.

While corruption has always been silently present to some degree in politics, the Trump administration has turbocharged it so much that it's now done in the wide open. In this case, the corruption will have an adverse effect on the health of Americans. apnews.com/article/call...

there is NO EARTHLY REASON for our nation to do any of this. Torture is one of the clearest crimes against humanity out there, and the Eighth Amendment against cruel and unusual punishments ought to apply. GodDAMN the cruelty of the GOP. >:-(

215 House Republicans voted to kick over 16 million Americans off their health care to give the top 1% a tax break. House Democrats stood on the right side of history – now the Senate must do the same.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

They get a libidinal thrill from being able to threaten people in this manner and we should really ask ourselves who they imagine replacing these workers because I don’t imagine it is their children they imagine filling these roles. This is why “Black jobs” deserved more interrogation than it got.

This is 100% the fault of ICE and the Trump admin, which has deliberately incentivized this behavior with their tactics. Their goal is to encourage white nationalist groups to dress up as ICE to attack minorities, and the increase in lookalike crimes is to them an acceptable byproduct.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

@timmiller.bsky.social: "You have to notice that the ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in a lot of blue cities...That shows just how much they want this fight in the White House."
