I believe you are both correct. They know these may be the largest protests yet. Us remaining peaceful is not working for them they need to stir things up so he can use the Insurrection Act. Be prepared, do not take the bait.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

I don’t even live there & I believe I fully understand it! It’s insane! It’s a Fascist Regime doing the most fascist shit you can do! Trump is openly declaring War on the Opposition Party, attempting to deploy the Military against its own citizens, disappearing ppl, zip-tying kids. Fascism 101. 😳

I'm wondering where the red line is. For me, it was when he refused to following court orders and SCOTUS repeatedly rule in his favor. We past both of those long ago.

The museums are being shutdown.
Are we great yet?
Everyone’s being fired.
Are we great yet?
Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.

🧵
ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

It's mind-boggling how, when you say the right is fascist, they turn around and say that the left is fascist. How? Have they looked up the definition of fascism? How is the left fascist?

Gen. Barry McCaffrey said the other day that the admirals and generals are not coming to save us. They take orders from two people... Trump and Hegseth and unless it is an egregious violation of the law, they will follow those orders. I'm not sure what he considers an egregious violation of the law.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

When his father had Alzheimer's, they would supposedly put him in a car, take him to a fake office, with a fake secretary and have him sign fake documents. Can we do the same with DonOld?

Interesting how his list of people who have been targeted in political violence left out any victims from the left, who were targeted by people on the right 🤔
