Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Bob Costas Condemns Mainstream Press for Doing ‘MAGA Media’: ‘There Really Isn’t Two Sides’

The people on the side of mass deportation are never the good guys.

Truth be told

Fascism is a big price to pay for making a few inadequate men feel better about themselves.

a confident nation doesn’t require the spectacle of a military parade

There are no orders for these troops, they are operating illegally and they don’t even know it. We need to educate them! Posse Comitatus Act prevents our military from acting in this capacity the only way troops can interact with civilians is if you invoke the Insurrection Act.

So proud of my amazing wife Karen Dukess and her new novel Welcome to Murder Week on sale today! Amazon calls it one of June’s best mystery, suspense and thriller books.

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC. The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack. ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants Speak up Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

THE GOONS ARE TRYING TO KIDNAP CHILDREN.

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

Because of course he said this….

“They were really counting on the American people having a kind of bloodlust — about immigrants .. in particular. And the American people don’t have that bloodlust. In fact, what they have is empathy. .. And a willingness to stand up ..” @maddow.msnbc.com @katiephang.bsky.social @acyn.bsky.social

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Our institutions are not made for this moment, and those in establishment - from the media to business to politics - aren't built for this fight. If you're counting on them to lead us, then we are already doomed. The leaders will emerge from the ground and the grassroots.

Now the Speaker of the House, second in line to be President of the United States, is calling for the elected leader of the 4th largest economy in the world to be publicly tortured for [checks notes] defying the treasonous whims of the wannabe dictator currently occupying the Oval Office.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

His speech at Fort Bragg today should send shivers down the spines of every patriotic American. Gearing up to use the military against American citizens in cities everywhere.I cannot believe how fast the fascism is coming.

Autocrats turn ordinary situations into emergencies so they can wield extraordinary power.

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

We’re in the streets in downtown Chicago.

At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line. Where are the generals who should be speaking up in defense of the military's rules and traditions, asks @RadioFreeTom?

Adolf Hitler was a master of manufacturing public-security crises to advance his authoritarian agenda, Timothy Ryback writes:

The #NoKings day of peaceful action isn’t just about fighting back—it’s about fighting forward. We’re coming together to build strong public schools, support working families, and expand rights—not roll them back. Join us this Saturday: go.aft.org/nokings

$45 million for this bullshit parade for Trump. I don't ever want to hear a fucking Republican tell me we don't have money to make sure every American has good health care. Give me a break.

Kristi Noem’s attack on Gavin Newsom is dumb—and likely illegal https://twp.ai/4ioR9Q

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

Government Newsom does a Star Wars take on Trump. Hilarious! #ProudBlue

OMG! This is hilarious! 😂

“If we didn’t get involved… Los Angeles right now would be on fire.” — Trump This is a figment of Trump’s deteriorating mind. Protests have been mostly peaceful. Unrest is limited. And unless you’re actually here on our streets, your opinion is just that—an opinion.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

We need every single Trump post like this.

White supremacy runs amok. Disgraceful.

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.
