ChatGPT weighs in: America still calls itself a democracy. Reality disagrees.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

St Paul MN 10,000 concerned citizens

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

Thought of the day…

This is all by design The plan is to create a Oligarch Amerikkka

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

When you slap tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies, Americans pay the price. Fewer exports. Fewer jobs. Higher prices. All for what? Chaos. To our Canadian friends: I’m sorry. To Americans: Don’t accept this as normal. We deserve better.

Just no words for this level of cruelty and enthusiasm for inflicting suffering on the poorest in our society

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

This Texas bill wouldn't just make it a felony to take a teen out-of-state for an abortion—but to "fund" an out-of-state abortion for a teen. In other words, giving your 17 year-old niece gas money could land you in prison. legiscan.com/TX/text/SB23...

Hypocrisy is a requirement of the Republican/MAGA Regime.

Any regime that “doesn’t have the ability to return him” is NOT FIT TO BE IN CHARGE. Impeach this motherfucker and all his henchmen (Homan, Noem, cuntBarbie) This is not America - this is the old gross fucked up America where we marched America’s indigenous peoples to camps. We don’t want this!

It's time to take action!

THIS!!!!

RESPECT Senator Booker!

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Way to go, Green Bay, WI! Amazing turnout! 💚

This!!

I never imagined that the most dangerous moment in America's democracy would also be its stupidest.

Chris Murphy: "There has to be criminal investigations as well here. If the criminal code doesn't apply to powerful people, if it only applies to people without power, then we don't have rule of law in this country."

#truthstobeselfevident In his own words.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Are you READY?! 🤚✨

As a Native American... Don't Tread on my People!

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Pete couldn't be more right ##USDemocracy

A circuit court judge that was appointed by Scott Walker speaks up after seeing and hearing the lies spread about WI. Supreme Court candidate, Susan Crawford. #WisconsinSupremeCourt #SusanCrawford #CallingBSonBS

I couldn't help but write up some quick thoughts trying to capture the sheer insanity (and illegality!) of that Trump group chat. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...
