If every Democratic leader had @repstansbury.bsky.social's fire & facts, we wouldn't be where we are right now. I'm so sick of the ongoing blather about how lost & clueless the Dems are. Maybe you're looking in the wrong direction. I think we're awash in talent. She says it like it is. Por ejemplo:

USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.

Message to Marines. 🇺🇸

Three lawyers for Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison camp, were sentenced to prison Friday, highlighting the risks of having any ties to the opposition in Russia, even in a professional lawyer-client relationship. Thank goodness we aren't in Russia. #Fascists

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

“Show us your papers.” Who would attend the World Cup in this atmosphere?

According to their immigration attorney, 5 of the 6 had their paperwork and work permits in order, nowhere close to expired. No criminal records. They got rounded up anyway.

This is THE question ...

Every word of this.

His party shrugging off Trump sending a violent mob at them but play acting civilization’s fall over a burning Waymo is a new cuck level achieved.

When do we get to call a coup a coup?

Gosh. Who could have seen THIS coming?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Wow.

This cannot be shared enough. There WILL be agents provocateurs. You can bet on it. Don’t take the bait and FFS, don’t join in. SIT DOWN. XO/A Grizzled Veteran of the Anti-nuke and Antiwar movements of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

THIS The LAPD is unleashed and certain they can do ANYTHING with impunity. Is there going to be any accountability for this or just 🤷‍♀️?

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

He’s at it again 🤣🤣

I can't decide whether my cat loves or hates my ukulele, but she gnaws on the strings whenever it comes out.

Minnie Cat gets it ...

I do wish they'd be proudly waving the American flag. It's OUR freedom of speech and OUR right to due process. The far right doesn't own our flag and we need to proudly reclaim it and -- again -- not give them any more fodder for making up nonsense about the protests.

It doesn't get a lot more repulsive than this ... I mean, I'm sure it can and probably will, but this is definitely in taking-the-cake territory.

I rarely use all caps because I don’t want to be that old white person, but … NOW IS THE TIME!!! Especially those of you in red states, you MUST call, write, visit your senators and vigorously oppose this travesty. Please watch and heed: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjbn7Rg2/

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?
