It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Went to #NoKings protest today. Super peaceful. Many people stopping by in their cars to show support.

Madness. This is MADNESS.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day everyone! #AmericaFightsBack

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

I would say he follows her around like a puppy dog but so far he has survived.

For Dallas protesters: I'm on the Police Oversight Board. If you'd like to file a complaint against an officer for behaving unprofessionally or abusively, let me know and I'll connect you to the right folks. At the same time, if you'd like to commend an officer for being helpful, also let me know.

Remember that authoritarians are always trying to create crises or take advantage of existing crises as a "state of exception," which gives them more power and abrogates any established restraints.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Remember what was happening just a week ago before all of this broke out in LA? Oh yea, Elon was accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files.

This is really disturbed

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

Violence against political opposition is a sure sign of democratic collapse. We are in very dangerous waters. Everyone must resist now.

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

Rubio is a perpetual bootlicker.
