This is an *extremely* good speech. Give it a listen.

A key distinction

The First Amendment specifically prohibits the government from using heavy force on citizens who protest the government. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

They aren't even pretending anymore that they're responding to rioting or lawlessness. They're calling out the military and threatening large-scale violence against people engaged in lawful protest *because they're engaged in lawful protest*.

Amendment Number One would like a word

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

We do not and have never had an immigration "problem" or an immigration "crisis" in this country. We do, however, have a xenophobia and racism problem, and it's getting worse.

🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.

Really important that no one read this @orlandosentinel.com reporting when it publishes. I'm setting up alerts just to make sure I don't accidentally read it and share it widely when the time comes

🎯 Cross cutting traditional social cleavages (bridging social capital) in service of shared values, which in turn makes the society/community harder to divide and conquer. That’s why.

Some are saying that our news media aren't up to the task at hand.

Leaders from other countries should think twice about sending their athletes to the Los Angeles Olympics.

@donwinslow.bsky.social nails it.

Concerning!

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian

The Justice Department is not about justice. It’s a fascist enforcement tool tasked with punishing Trump’s political enemies. It’s at the forefront of the Republican attempt to impose a dictatorship and destroy our freedoms. Fight back while you can.

Wow. The president of California’s largest union has been detained in an ICE raid in Los Angeles.

"Trump adviser Peter Navarro had said he wanted to secure '90 deals in 90 days.' But nearly 60 days later, Trump has secured only one — a vaguely phrased framework with Britain that still hasn’t been made public..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I agree 💯.

To drive the point home, ICE is not/not the military—despite all the absurd operator cosplay. ICE agents are not going to be prosecuted for desertion if they simply walk away. There is no ICE UCMJ.

The bromance is over and Elon is ready for the revenge porn.

so much for an amicable divorce. this is going to get crazy. actually already has gotten crazy. it's going to get insane. BREAKING: Elon Musk says Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

In all seriousness, the ugly fallout and charges/counter- charges that we're going to have now between Musk & Trump are a symptom of the essential lawlessness of the governance to date. There's no procedures, norms, much less laws to fall back on –just one enormous gold-plated chainsaw food fight.
