Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for listening.

Do other governments shutdown or just ours?

US citizens can’t get free healthcare but they want you to believe that someone else coming into the country can get free healthcare? That’s called a false equivalent.

Just in case you were wondering what part of history we’re in.

“Terrible things are happening outside… poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes… Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated.” -Anne Frank, June 13, 1943

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

The court granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order — HALTING ANY FEDERALIZATION, RELOCATION, OR DEPLOYMENT of ANY GUARD MEMBERS TO OREGON FROM ANY STATE.

Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

The shut down is so trump can unilaterally decimate a large portion of the federal work force.
The epstein files are just a bonus.

The distraction is trump.
Trump is the distraction from the annihilation of our democracy. He rage-farms while people like miller and the heritage foundation destroy it

BE CAREFUL, PEOPLE.
I don't think it's possible to use a cell phone & not be trackable today.
You could use & throw out burner phones. But I'm pretty sure the NSA/Secret Service can track those too.
Cell phones violated our privacy from day one.

The regime is desperate for Portland to become the flashpoint. Do not fall for it. They are trying so hard to get Portlanders to start a riot and we won't give them a victory here.

These are fuck-ass fascist losers wasting their time here. Show the world they are useless fools wasting our $$.

Portland is not war ravaged.

Chicago doesn’t need to be “saved”.

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for Medicaid.

People should not have to “prove they matter” to get healthcare.

ICE should not be allowed to cover their faces.

This shutdown is being done to save healthcare.

I was watching the senate floor live and discovered so much propaganda and baseless claims.

The senate adjourned until Monday at 3:30pm. Govt remains shutdown.

So where’s the shutdown fight coming from?

Political theater. The same programs continue, nothing radical changed.

False claims are being used as talking points to justify the standoff.

Dozer 鯨 @jdozer.bsky.social · 12d

Fact Checking the Shutdown
There’s no text in the funding bill that gives “illegal immigrants” free health care. The bill just keeps government funded at last years levels and extends existing health + VA programs. Federal law still bars undocumented immigrants from getting ACA subsidies or Medicaid
