Military joined protesters calling for the president's resignation -

...intimations of something similar awaiting the sham?

"Deportation Industrial Complex...

"...more than $170 billion over four years for border and interior enforcement,.... That is more than the yearly budget for all local and state law enforcement agencies combined across the entire United States."

The result will be a lopsided, enforcement-only machine that will be hard to dismantle.

A US citizen, a veteran, on his way to work, pepper sprayed and dragged from his car, surely appealing "I'm a US citizen!" and obviously no pause to consider his word only acted on his appearance, three days, no one knowing where he was taken...

Right,Tim, we can't look away.

Professor, the sham's incitement may include Putin's tactic sending thugs to start the violence and trigger troops to respond aggressively. In Georgia the resistance includes teams to quash those thugs when they initialize their incitement - quash it physically but not violently.

Mass repressive violence may be planned as a response to resistance when unidentified federal agents induce it first.

We have hundreds of thousands poised to demonstrate October 18 for No Kings. If teams can prepare now to quash those inducers, we might largely thwart that plan.

Thanks! It was easy to post a comment and gave me a chance to act on behalf of free and fair elections.

Hart @theoneweis.bsky.social · 9d

The president has declared war on free and fair elections and is prepared to use ICE, Border Patrol, the National Guard and the military to fight for him. CADEM is preparing and other state parties may do well to follow their lead.

Bless you, Governor, and may your counterparts in other states do likewise with their institutions of higher learning.

Larry Ellison Is a ‘Shadow President’ in Donald Trump’s America

So the new editor in chief at CBS News will report directly to the Ellisons, the owners, giving the owners editorial control. CBS news, the home of Cronkite and Rather, the Evening News and 60 Minutes now to join the chorus of Fox News and OAN? Yet another gut punch.

The Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.

We support funding only for a government that abides by the rule of law. Good. And the vast majority of us see what the sham and his enablers are effecting and it is not in accord with the rule of law.

This Israeli government has become what their ancestors fled.

Oh amen! This echoes what AOC said last evening with Chris Hayes and others said before her - the sham is weaker than he means for us to believe, means for us to fear. He truly is deeply unpopular as are his words and his deeds. This emperor never had clothes and now he is naked for all to see.

Hart @theoneweis.bsky.social · 11d

You will lead us into a restoration not just of what's been eroded by the sham, but of what America stood for before his kind ascended. Choose Pete as your VP and the dynamism and clear messaging will get us there.
