It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

How will you ever convince them to not kill you with hammers if you don’t let them come over with their hammers and tell you their ideas

Zohran is up. Keep going.

The trump machine is going all-out to get Cuomo installed, and it appears that New Yorkers are noticing.

ok why do all these oakleaf hydrangeas keep just absolutely GIVING UP, is it because the ground is too WET and their WEAK and SICKLY little roots are ROTTEN?! i thought i was gonna be living in a little bee-buzzing eden but instead ive just got DEAD TWIGS poking out the ground

This is even worse bc it is the ultimate politicization of the military & says a lot about the officers. This tells me that high ranking officers will be too afraid to oppose Trump if/when they are given a clearly illegal order.

"Nat't Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the LA protests over immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to law enforcement." Q for attorneys: if they said they weren't going to do law enforcement, how is this not?

Catastrophic results.

They want federal workers to feel they're being targeted, too, so that they side with ICE and against protesters.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

This is... not how any of this is supposed to work. The military needs to be non-political. Checking soldiers for their loyalty to the President is offensive.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

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.

Yes. Folks, this is not a distraction. Any action that hurts millions of people can never be a distraction. Trump covers up crime with scandal. Deploying military forces on US soil to hurt innocent people isn’t a scandal. It’s a crime. Focus on the people getting hurt. That’s who matters most.

A terrifying escalation:

everything that's happening now is the predictable result of this gargantuan mistake.

Imagine if every person going to a protest this weekend also took five minutes to email and call their Representative about impeachment. What would Congress feel? They would be *overwhelmed.* Shock and awe. Here is how to make it happen: citizensimpeachment.com/advocate-for...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This ---- It's driving me mad.

both "raise concerns" and "fuel controversy" to describe domestic terrorism in one email. just need "tensions flare" for the hat trick, reuters!

Trump would be finished already without the media promoting and amplifying his bullshit theatrics. Same goes for Elon. The MSM can't get enough of either of them and will be sad to see them go.

“It's amazing to me when somebody tells me we need to convince these Missouri MAGAs to join the fight against tyranny, as if we could be convincing in a way that having a friend kidnapped is not, as if it is natural that they should still need us to make a case.” www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

ladies and gentlemen, the democrats

It matters if you ACTUALLY fight instead of begging for MAGA scraps. Why has the Senate not been brought to a halt? Why is impeachment not even being talked about, let alone pursued? Why are bad bills still getting passed and Trump appointees confirmed? Stop fiddling while the US burns.

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

Screw it, I'm just going to say it so everyone has fair warning: Joey Ryan appears to be trying to mount a comeback. Again. He's trying to build up a TikTok account and there's a screenshot going around indicating that there's currently an effort to recruit talent willing to work a comeback show.

the southern baptist convention just had to sell their headquarters in downtown nashville to pay for all the sex abuse legal fees.

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

Ok but Dems should also hold him accountable.

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Rep @replamonica.bsky.social was formally indicted 2 day. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con... Where is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social who told us House Dems would "respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing" & the response would "be continuous and it will meet the moment" We are ready. Now.

Incredibly sinister and authoritarian

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Witnesses “can be heard shouting at the agents to ‘let her go’ and ‘she's pregnant.’ López Alvarado said agents told her she was taken into custody for trying to obstruct their operation. 'I wasn’t resisting or anything,’ she said. 'I can’t fight back; I’m pregnant.’”
