Which base becomes Fort Adolf Hitler

What exactly are they protecting them from? Mean words? The cries of children? Their consciences?

Good odds that June 2025 goes down as a fundamental turning point in American civil-military norms longer term (for several reasons).

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

🗳️ 🚨 What If This Election Wasn’t Counted Fairly or Correctly? A Single Lawsuit Might Change Everything. In Rockland County, NY, a lawsuit filed by SMART Elections has exposed something deeply disturbing: multiple voters have sworn they voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election 1/

The “states’ rights,” “don’t tread on me,” “fight tyranny” crowd is now cheering on authoritarian power grabs—from a guy who can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. If you care about the Constitution, you should care no matter who is in office.

It’s only the Electoral College that makes denigrating the second-most populous city in the country as “a city of criminals” a viable electoral strategy.

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

Agree with this. Either a majority or big plurality are already unhappy about this needless troop deployments. Now setting up for a boffo totally unprecedented domestic display of military power and priming to unleash troops on anyone who says it’s not awesome.

If you are in LA and would like to go stand in front of a line of fascists with some friends and play the Imperial March on kazoos, I will ship you a bunch of kazoos right now

WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

This should be *more than* sufficient to allow a person who wants to go protest to seek and obtain an injunction against the use of force against protesters

He said he wanted to be a dictator This is the essence of dictatorship Meeting peaceful protest with military force

I joined Twitter to follow this account about nine years ago. This is disturbing.

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

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

There is one thing for sure Americans have a right to know. Are any of the pardoned insurrectionists employed by Homeland or ICE?

ICE aren’t law enforcement agents, they are Gestapo being used by a racist criminal tyrant to inflict fear, cruelty and brutality on people of color.

Impossible to post all of the videos from today but here’s LAPD unloading dozens of rounds at the barricade. They did this for over an hour.

Israel wants to stop the freedom flotilla from delivering humanitarian aid. Trump wants to stop Angelenos from helping their fellow Angelenos from being kidnapped by ICE. Authoritarians are afraid of mutual aid and solidarity. So we will need much more mutual aid and solidarity.

Just a reminder that U.S. military personnel, whether in the National Guards or the Marines, are not trained for law enforcement. They are trained to kill, they are remarkably effective at it, and that is why there are such strict legal prohibitions on deploying military inside the United States.

Stephen Miller is a hateful, mean-spirited, cruel, sadistic bastard. I love that his wife is reportedly cheating on him with Elon Musk.

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

The "EU data protection law goes too far" takes haven't aged well

Masks will not be allowed?

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, this guy, and fuck ICE. They aren't worried about treating immigrants like real people with real families. Well, turnabout is fair play.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Kelly didn't do this until days before the election. Didn't make a speech or appear on TV or make a Tik Tok. Neither did Gary Cohn or Espers or McMasters or pretty much any of the "adults" in Trump. He wanted his quiet objection noted for the history books. It was not a warning.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

I know some of you are friends or colleagues with Dr. Schake, if so could you please ask her what in the precise fuck she was thinking when she wrote this? Thanks!

Apparently, the orange conman has deployed the national guard against the wishes of Gavin Newsom, who believes that it will make the matter worse. ICE is the ones causing the violence. The residents are protesting non violently.

Piss Drunk Pete Hegseth mobilized the Marines and the National Guard...that is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act which generally prohibits the U.S. military from participating in domestic law enforcement activities.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

One of the wildest things about reactionary psychology is that they seem *genuinely hurt & dismayed* when people react badly to their violent, stupid behavior.
