these guys have been out in force (saw them by echo park lake last week and all over the no kings rally yesterday) and they get SO mad and flustered if you try to ask them anything about the specifics of the petition--

Mike Lee has this lie pinned at the top of his Twitter feed. But no mention at all of the shooter who killed one and injured three at the No Kings march in Salt Lake City. Probably still trying to figure out how he’ll claim that guy was a “Marxist” too.

This Army birthday I’m thinking of Medal of Honor recipient Pvt Henry Johnson of the 369th NY National Guard (known as the Harlem Hellfighters). The 369th served more days in the WWI trenches than an other US unit, took more casualties also. DOD just stripped Johnson’s name off Ft. Polk.

The Trumpists talk a lot about representing “real America.” How much of a bizarre propagandistic lie this is was on full display yesterday - when a vast, heterogeneous coalition of people mobilized in protest while all the regime offered was an embarrassing, lame, sad excuse of a military parade.

As soon as I saw the units just ambling along, I sensed some delightful malicious compliance afoot. Same with the salutes from the passing tanks & vehicles that snapped back down fast as they went up. And the complete lack of enthusiasm all around really took a concerted effort. #resist #NoKings

Let’s go…. Democracy is here to STAY…..

This is the Republican party in its purest form. Anyone who thinks like this is absolute trash. What a worm of a human being.

Also noteworthy that unlike the ICE agents cosplaying as operators, actual National Guard soldiers are not wearing masks.

I’ve been saying since high school that the battle hymn should have been the anthem

As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

This is facts….

In the 1870s, when (self-described) white supremacists were working to “redeem” North Carolina from multiracial democracy, they sought to disempower local governments to “liberate” white minorities from black judges, sheriffs, etc. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

They have been ever so quiet...

Record everything.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

I told you we’d be back

Enraging how they disregard the environment and human health

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

They are extremely clear about the fact that they consider themselves to be at war with you. They do not equivocate about it. It's their stated policy.

America voted for this. Never forget that. They didn't seize power and were pretty open about their intent and we let them in and went along with it step by step.

Notice she's not talking about "criminals" anymore. Now they're onto who they perceive as their enemies, including the people *we* elected. They want to use L.A. to show they can force liberal cities into submission.

Just watched a terf argue that cis men will willingly buy dresses, makeup and wigs to access women in bathrooms, but pointing out that allowing ICE agents to be masked means a man only has to buy an ICE jacket on Amazon to attack women is a paranoid delusion. White supremacy will fry your brain.

Years ago, I made a tester account for this kind of thing. It is following only @NBA and nothing else. It has never posted or interacted with a single tweet. I just logged on to it. Here’s what the algorithm showed me as I scrolled for 30 seconds.

The only reason people think LA is a postapocalyptic nightmare is because of the X algorithm. An unreality machine.

Do your thing mother nature.

1861 -- 2025 THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.

It’s unbelievable that a lot of news organisations keep reporting as if Trump is popular. He is not. His administration and his agenda are not.

I was away for four days — ironically, with US forces in Estonia — and I come back to a full blown civ-mil crisis

“I was a Yale-educated lawyer before I ever heard people say bad things about the traitors who killed American soldiers in defense of slavery.”

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

Double.

Which base becomes Fort Adolf Hitler
