The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

Morons!

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

Found out that Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads, if you need another reason to quit using it.

Really America! Are you OK with this?

These *men* showed up at this market and grabbed the owner for no reason dressed in plain clothes with no identification.

They threw him to the ground as a Combat Vet shopping there calls the police on them! There was no warrant and he was a citizen.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

I have to say I'm tired of people who voted for Trump saying, "I didn't expect that". Try paying attention.

Every single kid—no matter their needs—deserves a fair shot at learning.

Gutting the Education Department’s special education office does the exact opposite.

Despicable and cruel.

Typical Trump stupidity

Will this forever change the US's position of unconditional support for Israel?

We aren't

They lie, can't be trusted, and never negotiate in good faith. Why would anyone believe them?

Diane in Ohio @dianeb1.bsky.social · 1d

Yea...that's a lie too.

Yep! I'm 73 years old and never attended a politic protest until this year. I love my country and hate that my grandchildren are growing up in this mess.

By the time you get to the point where the Transportation Secretary is complaining about political protests, you know the administration is truly scared of the public backlash.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Every Republican in DC has received these propaganda talking points. They are terrified of all the resistance because they know how unpopular their polices and support for Trump are. They're looking for an excuse for the Insurrection Act, so we must show up by the millions and remain peaceful.

Diane in Ohio @dianeb1.bsky.social · 2d

They're trying to incite violence to justify using the Insurrection Act. We must show top by the millions and peacefully protest. Don't take the bait from provocateurs.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

"lot's of ideas", "concepts of a plan". The Republican Party under Trump is unable to govern and actually get things done. All they know how to do is break things.

Trump would throw those people under the bus in a heartbeat.

Diane in Ohio @dianeb1.bsky.social · 2d

It's such a big mistake. Read the room! People are screaming for younger more progressive leaders.

I want the history to remain so future Americans can see just how close we came to losing our democracy.
