This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real. Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this. Not complaining, just surprising.

Fascinating watching this. Seeing similar "ignore this shit" directives at State & Dept of the Navy (for civilian employees). Wild that DOJ seems odd man out. Mind boggling seeing department countermand instructions being allowed if not directed by POTUS and treating almost like insider threat.

As well they should! Fight back against the coup! Muskrat is actions are illegal! The only discernible logic is he's gone after any agency with power to affect his companies, and in some cases litigation against them. Illegal AF! #SupportFederalWorkers #StopTheCoup #DemocracyWarriors

Dear Elon : NASA is busy keeping our astronauts safe in space and monitoring experiments and the atmosphere. The military is guarding our boarders and protecting democracy around the world. They don’t have the time to cater to your narcissistic whims. Sincerely Sara

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.
