What just happened in Chicago is sobering.
When a journalist is arrested and a civilian is assaulted by federal agents, we're no longer talking about security, but about abuse of power.
The United States is worth more than this.

the fact that you don't believe doesn't change the existence of GOD.

If you ever bothered to read baldwin, that passage was about societies responsibility to children. To keep them out of harms way.

The 2nd is just a reminder to leave kids alone as it pertains to religion. Every child knows nothing of any gods until adults start lying to them.

We don't lie to them, on the contrary.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

What's happening in Chicago is a disgrace. You don't intimidate a people with military force. Fundamental rights must be respected. #Chicago #Justice #StopRepression

“Habeas corpus = protection against arbitrary detention, enshrined in the US Constitution. When you ask Trump about it, he replies: “Suspend who?” 🤦‍♂️ He doesn’t even understand the basics of freedom. #HabeasCorpus #Democracy”

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 2d

“Have you given any more thought to suspending habeas corpus?”

TRUMP: “Suspending who?” 🤷🏼

Aaand scene.

🚨 Memphis — An unmarked police SUV caused a pileup while pursuing a vehicle with its lights on but no siren. Endangering lives without warning drivers is unacceptable. #Memphis #PoliceAccountability #PublicSafety

MEMPHIS—An unmarked law enforcement SUV caused a three-vehicle crash while chasing another vehicle through an intersection in Frayser. The unmarked vehicle had its blue lights on but did not have sirens on when it entered the intersection.

🚨 The law is clear: In Tennessee, the governor can only deploy the National Guard in the face of an invasion or rebellion. Using it as police is unconstitutional, upheld by the courts and the AG. #Tennessee #RuleOfLaw #Constitution

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 8d

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!
