On Sunday, a report is due that could include a recommendation to invoke the Insurrection Act as part of Trump’s effort to "secure" the southern border. Let’s be clear: This might not happen. But we’d be foolish not to take the possibility seriously. This isn’t about fear, it’s about preparation.

Spot on. Who else agrees with this? Drop a comment.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed.

Political language – is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

Congress isn't powerless to push back against Trump’s undemocratic tariff move: A fast-track process allows both chambers to vote on a resolution that would effectively block Trump's tariffs. Learn more and tell your elected officials to take action: indivisible.org/tariffs

"The first part of controlling the language is inverting the meaning: whatever the government does is good, because by definition then its victims are the 'criminals' and the 'terrorists.' The second part is deterring the press," writes @timothysnyder.bsky.social.

Damn right!

If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the courts are unlikely to stop him. We wish there was some institution — businesses, media, law firms, universities, anything — that would save us. As with so much in this era, it will fall to the people to protect the republic.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

It’s time for people to stop saying “he can’t do that” or “he’ll never get away with it” because he can and likely will.

I would post and repost this a thousand times if it would help. This man's plight is the symbol of the disgusting hateful depths these people will go to.

Too many members of Congress keep letting us down. This is about more than opposing Trump’s bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and using every inch of power to fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...
