I am hopeful that there are groups who are documenting every unconstitutional and illegal act this administration is committing and there will come a day each and every one of them will be held responsible

Stephen Miller in the prison box is something I look forward to immensely

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 2d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

A ‘gift’ with strings attached is a bribe

Glad we cleared that up.

This is the way.

Resorting to violence lowers you to their level, once they have you down there, they will beat you with experience.

Keep it calm and peaceful but keep going until you succeed

Good luck my friends. This Canadian is behind you all the way!

#JohnLennon #Peaceful#Resistance

Wise words from John Lennon many years ago. We need to keep them in mind and people need to follow the model of the Portland patriots who are shining a bright light on the cruelty of ICE with their joyful resistance.

Free speech is no longer permitted

Someone needs to ask if there is ANY situation where an American is free to oppose the government and NOT be labelled a ‘terrorist’ ?

If not, and any opposition is considered terrorist activity, then you have already lost your rights to free assembly

Doesn’t the military feed their soldiers?

I thought all active military have access to mess halls?

I can only assume they are trying to feed their families

Not a great way to treat the troops

I can assure you Trump and his family are fed tonight

Is this the America people want to live in?

Your entire way of life is about to be controlled by a fascist regime bringing terror to your neighborhood

My God, when will this end?

The terror in her eyes is reminds me of the look so many Jewish people had when they were being violently rounded up by the Nazi’s

Her buttocks being partially exposed reminds me of how the victims of the Holocaust were made to strip before they were shot, dehumanizing by taking away their dignity

The one thing authoritarians fear the most is the rising up of the people

Putin was traumatized by it and still lives in fear of it happening again

If you want to terrify Trump then every American needs to turn out to remind him how outnumbered he is

Every. American.

Qatari government has a history of sheltering Hamas

But Trump will allow them to build a military installation on US soil because he has personally profited from them?

Then tells Americans that Canadian steel is a national security risk?

Is it not treason if it’s this blatant?

The United States is no longer ranked as a full democracy

Two sources list it as a ‘flawed’ or ‘deficient’ democracy

If the insurrection act is used to declare martial law then Hybrid Regime and moderate Autocracy is next

People don’t get it.

Agree to let them target ANYONE and they will target EVERYONE

A gay person is an easy mark

Seriously America is at the point where everyone should be going over in their head why they safe or not

You are living under an authoritarian regime and need to protect yourself

We are taught history and all about the rise of Fascism

My heart is with the good people of America

Our countries are intertwined in every way, what affects you, affects us

I can only hope your democracy will survive

🇨🇦 @wisebear.bsky.social · 10d

Sounds like they are ready to unleash holy hell on the last vestiges of democracy

The military is last guardrail

Are they with the people or the administration?

THE ENEMY IS DOMESTIC

ONLY HOPE IS THAT MILITARY LEADERSHIP IDENTIFIES WHO IT IS CORRECTLY

He wants the military to incite the population

Best response is NONE AT ALL
EVERYONE stay home
Deserted streets
No confrontations
Military is not the enemy

The most impactful image out of DC was seeing the troops pick up garbage

The rest of the world saw what an impotent leader he really is

A North Korean cell phone that was smuggled out recently had auto-correct would change the text of your messages to language approved by the regime

If tech companies keep capitulating is what Americans can expect from their forms of communication?

I agree with your assessment of why Trump is dismantling the security of the nation

I often say that if an attack happens it is an inside job

Russia will be behind it

USA will no longer protect Europe and Trump gets total control of 330 million Americans

It’s no wonder I can’t sleep at night

Are we supposed to clap?

How about the fact that this was an outrageous move that could have endangered the lives of Americans in New York?

He wants to inflict as much harm as possible on the the population of the United States

Absolute menace

🇨🇦 @wisebear.bsky.social · 13d

Agreed. There is a reason insurrectionists must be held accountable in the immediate aftermath of their attempt to overthrow the government

If not, they learn from a failed attempt and usually don’t fail the next time

Architects of project 2025 knew how to exploit this and it worked
