Remember, “this coup will be ‘bloodless’ if the left let it” is a lie. The country is being destroyed. They are trying to keep what they want for their benefit while destroying what benefits the American people.

This is sooo true, and you don't even need a long timeline either, however with a long timeline I think virtually every accusation out of his dumb little mouth turns out to be something he has done.

There is no greater threat to our way of life and Democracy than this impostor masquerading as the House Speaker, whose only role in Congress is to ignore the Constitution to appease his Dear Leader. www.huffpost.com/entry/mike-j...

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit

Trouble ahead. Trump also said he supported a suggestion by his border czar Tom Homan that California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested over possible obstruction of his administration's immigration enforcement measures. "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great," Trump told reporters.

But, but, but, the Founding Fathers wanted everyone to have an assault weapon… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

City councilors met with PPB Cheif Day today to discuss policies to keep police from cooperating w/feds, if they’re sent to PDX protests in the future. Councilor Avalos: “We are operating under a fascist regime. It’s my responsibility to propose new laws and policies to protect our constituents.”

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

My Sunday mood. 😔 can’t get it out of my head. youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c?...

I just want to say the far-left is not radical🙄 As my good friend, points out at The Library of Democracy👇

Not America. The US.

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

Israel kidnapping Greta Thunberg, the Academy-Award winning co-director of the documentary No Other Land, and declaring Ms. Rachel an anti-semite for not wanting Palestinian kids to die. Yup, this is how you win the world.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: They were literally out there protesting, carrying a foreign flag. That's absolutely insane. They are not just peaceful protesters. These are illegals. BASH: Carrying a flag is not illegal M: A foreign fag -- a foreign flag while you're attacking law enforcement, it's pretty bad

If you agree, please share!

True story bro.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Area Report Suspended for Reporting the Truth

The same is true for raids on restaurants—rounding up people who are working hard and contributing to their community.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

True story…

Simply put, a complete overreaction by the President last night...

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Head’s up. The Insurrection Act has not been invoked. This is against the will of the State of California #NationalGuard #USArmedForces

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Trump spurns the Federalist Society—the powerful group that built his judicial legacy. Yale’s Akhil Amar warns this isn’t about conservatism anymore, it’s about consolidating control. “He just wants loyalty—thugs and hacks.” #Velshi

Sounds like Nazis: "Part of a broader wave of immigration enforcement actions nationwide. Advocacy groups and immigration attorneys have criticized these actions, labeling them a 'dragnet' operation targeting immigrants complying with the law." kfiam640.iheart.com/featured/la-...

Oh lordy, our country is in deep shit trouble. And the rest of the world hates us. 🤦‍♀️

Imagine being convicted of 34 felonies and being on the Epstein List — while having the audacity to brutalize vulnerable communities under the guise of “going after criminals”

News Analysis: The return of a wrongfully deported man to the U.S. raises questions about the Trump administration’s views of justice.

NEW: The tactic has been used by autocrats the world over — including in Turkey, Hungary and El Salvador — to erode perceptions of the courts’ legitimacy and weaken the rule of law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“The scary thing about ‘Animal Farm’ is how relevant it remains in the exact same way,” says @teaobreht.bsky.social ,author of the foreword for the 75th anniversary edition of ‘Animal Farm’, “forces us to ask timeless questions of ourselves.” #VelshiBannedBookClub www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

An editorial by torture memo lawyer John Yoo? Seriously, Boston Globe? Who determines which commentators are worth listening to? Like, why does Matt Yglesias keep getting platformed everywhere despite consistently saying stupid stuff? And why does John Yoo get published anywhere at all?

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

Check out the part where the White House says they have zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement. They left out a footnote: Except for pardoning people who did that on J6.

Enforcing laws that people consent to doesn't require wearing military equipment or hiding faces. That's only required when enforcing laws that people reject. It's time to welcome those immigrants who already live and work in the United States. #Libertarian
