My fellow Black people in the U.S. This is the most-free we will ever be. White America has chosen racism and hate over human and civil rights. Now, we enjoy yourselves—now we eat, drink and make merry. Don’t let them steal our Magic ✨ For tomorrow, we die. 🇺🇸

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

“Insurrection” is the word tyrants use when the people refuse to obey. It’s how the perpetrators of oppression frame themselves as victims to silence dissent, smear resistance, and cloak their violence. But history only asks one question: Who stood for justice: the regime or the resistance?

"This is the moment in history that we will look back on and say, 'Where were you when? Where were you when we were watching dictators take over?'" @ariberman.bsky.social reports from New Paltz, NY where State Senator (D) Michelle Hinchey speaks.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

The man who tried to assassinate Trump was a gun-loving Trump supporter who later turned on him. Right-wing media blamed Democrats, because of course. The alleged Minnesota shooter is an anti-abortion Christian nationalist w/ a list with other Dems as targets. They're still blaming liberals.

I really think Noem’s plans to “liberate” California from its democratically elected government with military force should not have gotten lost in the news cycle but that appears to be exactly what is happening

Once again, it wasn’t an immigrant. It wasn’t a drag queen, a refugee, or anyone Fox News tells you to fear. It was a white male. Evangelical. Armed. Angry. The pattern isn’t changing it’s just getting louder. And still, they scapegoat the vulnerable while ignoring the real domestic threat.

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

Murderers impersonating cops is the natural outflow of actual cops insisting they need not identify themselves nor show their faces. Anyone can yell “police” and you’re just supposed to cower I guess.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

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.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

Democracy will not collapse all at once in America. It will happen bit by bit, state by state. We just saw US senator Alex Padilla thrown to the floor and handcuffed for trying to ask the Homeland Security Secretary a question. Hold the line, California. Hold the f-ing line.

The physical assault of a United States Senator by federal law enforcement — for simply questioning a cabinet secretary — is a big test. The Senate can either assert itself as a co-equal branch of government & demand accountability or it can be docile & fade into the background. It’s a choice.
