I don't see how anyone could see him talk this way and think he'd do anything but fuck us over

"They" is the military and no. They do not get a pass. Don't tell me we will win this fight if we ignore the betrayal of our armed forces. They will be used to ensure we *don't* win, and ignoring what they've done so far is a great way to get shot in the back.

They betrayed us.

They. Don't. Follow. Judicial. Orders.

Everyone in Congress needs to stand against this. The government is closed FFS and the reason they are getting paid is because they are meant to fix this. They're destroying the legislature on purpose so Temu Palpatine and his grand vizier don't have to pretend the legislature matters

That's illegal, and tells us exactly what will happen to us if we don't take these fuckers down

This article says they've been able to work with DHS since 1996. DHS was established in 2002 as a reaction to 9/11. I remember because the name scared the shit out of me. Very fashy. Dubya was all in with Heritage Foundation.

Controlled opposition

Cat Herder @herdingkitties.bsky.social · 2h

Same reason they hate immigrants, they think it's politically useful to do so. Also, they're about to take away their social security, so they want everyone to think they are parasites first. Makes it easier for people to tolerate it.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

He never, ever sees a hard question as an opportunity to reframe the narrative. He just thinks that if they question anything he does, they are stupid.

If he cements his hold on our government he will start murdering people here, too.

The Trump regime exploded live ordinance over a major US highway, nearly killed some state troopers in the process, just to interfere with a protest, and it's barely making the news.

Poli-Scientists Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan authored a study that posits that no dictatorial regime survived having 3.5% of its population in active, sustained, non-violent resistance.

8,100,000 is 3.1% of the adult US population.

We're right there. KEEP IT UP.

Yes, but we need to remember that hungry people are desperate people.

What if there was a short term compromise? Start scheduling sick outs, and work on getting mutual aid set up to make sure everyone who needs food, shelter, and whatever else can get it. Then strike.

Because he's the one running the country. Trump certainly isn't, and the way ICE and the military are being used was almost certainly his idea.

Cat Herder @herdingkitties.bsky.social · 3h

Yes. Their oath means nothing if following it costs a general or an admiral his pension. They are cowards. They are helping dismantle the very democracy they are required to protect.

If even half of the military just stood up and said no, we wouldn't be here.

Nope. I'm sorry for veterans, and I know it sucks to lose respect you have earned, but trust is banked and their account is running red.

They have attacked a US state. They have already broken Posse Comitatus by sending Marines to CA.

We've been betrayed. They need to know we noticed.

I do wonder just how many of the news sources I used to trust were just controlled opposition.

Cat Herder @herdingkitties.bsky.social · 3h

There is actually a proper word for poop and shit, and it's feces. I'm pretty sure everyone at the NYT knows the word, or at least can reason that a name that isn't vulgar exists. This is kinda sad.

Okay, you've insulted my intelligence. Good job, very cutting. My ego is crying, really.

Now. Did you recruit me? Did you advance your cause any at all? Because it seems to me that you want agreement and to be patted on the head for being so clever, but you don't care if you actually achieve this.

If he could stop being a petulant teenager for a few weeks, we would be in even more trouble than we already are.

Cat Herder @herdingkitties.bsky.social · 3h

Gotta admit, before I blocked the new White House account, I let loose with a your mom comeback.

Then I realized the people telling me to block them were far wiser than me, and went ahead and did that. But it was funny 😁
