Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

Given that trump is deploying MORE troops to California it is imperative that Governor Gavin Newsom prepare to resist martial law being imposed on California. Martial law will result in extreme hardship.

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

💯 👇 Oh and PLEASE DONT forget about the 35.3% who didn't even bother to go vote and decided to order a Pizza and watch Netflix on election day instead!!!

NOTE TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS: Regime change starts at home.

When is the next big March? I think it scared them in a good way. Do you think Americans understand that we have to march like that every day to affect change? Ps. Is it a “affect” or “effect”? Thx

They sure are arresting a lot of Democratic politicians these days. I wonder if it's got anything to do with fascism?

Did Trump leave the G7 meeting after one day because he couldn't face Modi after lying and saying he was the peace broker? How embarrassing that would have been for Trump. Also he was confronted with a roomful of very bright men. Maybe he felt out of his depth. They talk facts. He talks circles.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Even if there are elections again, the facists won't concede. They will have to be forced out

🇺🇲👇🤬 Fuck you, you Nazi prick!!

Not a conspiracy theorist but after yesterday Ego Parade attendance, I think questioning the election results should be a mainstream opinion.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Just got back from our local No Kings demonstration and there were about 500 people there and no violence.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Cadet Bone Spurs received his bone spur deferment in 1968 after graduating college at the age of 22. I already had completed 2 years of my 3 year Army term in 1968 - I was 20 and I've disliked him ever since. 8647 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country
