MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

Sleeper cells don’t scare Americans who are already aware it’s been here. If you’re only alarmed when they’re foreign, then you aren’t concerned about terrorism, just the religion, race, nationality or political party of the terrorist.

If the president pisses on the Constitution and dares you to flinch, impeachment isn’t a debate. It’s a duty. Tyrants don’t stop. You remove them—before they finish the job.

MUST WATCH: When a sitting Senator asks if a white nationalist troll is influencing DHS staffing and the response is “Your time is up”— You’re watching authoritarianism in plain fucking sight. Salute to Sen. Jacky Rosen for saying what needed to be said: “You’re either feckless or complicit.”

Trump’s pardons of white-collar fraudsters, GOP ripoff artists & unrepentant cop-beaters cheated the victims & taxpayers out of $1.3 BILLION in restitution & fines. Not content to steal from the poor to give to the rich, Trump’s now stealing from victims to give to criminals.

nervous to go to protests? Don’t be. They will be peaceful family affairs. Go with a group, peel off if anything makes you nervous, don’t stay to the bitter end. This moment calls for all Americans to express their rights. And when some cannot, it’s important for others to stand in their place.

Oh look. Chief psychophanticunt (with no authority in the Senate, mind you) has an opinion. Let's censure ... Sen Padilla! What an assinine comment. Surely he's seen the clips and he's STILL lying. They ALL need to be brought down. Period.

I’m not sure USA has ever faced such a moment. Wholly unprepared to deal with calamity on the world stage. We have a Putin ass-kisser at Sec of State, a drunk at Pentagon and a dipshit asshole sitting in the Oval Office Adderall tweeting. He pulled out of Iran deal, lethal moron.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.
