It is very important that Dems don't endorse Trump’s corruption & criminality by going along with it

We all know it is happening. It is time to meet in groups to talk about this. Have convos with friends & family

Make plans for the 18th
The 18th is an important day

When I stopped drinking I stopped going to pubs. I thought I’d miss the witty & smart conservations but Twitter partly replaced that. People say I should still be on the hellsite but that would be like me staying in a local where Hitler had taken over as Landlord.

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

This 🧵.

The Trump regime routinely lies, to aid its efforts to deepen authoritarian control.

As @qasimrashid.com advises:
"Stop relying on corporate media to keep you informed. They are serving Trump.

Look to independent journalists, on the ground activists, & human rights lawyers"

Short Thread...

It's been a full week since DHS issued a press release claiming TEN CARS ambushed them—and have since:
•charged ZERO of those alleged 10 drivers
•arrested ZERO of those alleged 10 people
•filed ZERO reports of alleged property damage, &
•offered ZERO evidence of their claim

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

The scoop: Trump refuses to do anything to reduce health insurance premiums; House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington due to Epstein files; and now they send layoff notices to CDC researchers dealing with burgeoning measles cases?

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.
