As someone who spent over twenty years in uniform, I believe deeply in accountability and the rule of law. Those values don’t change based on who’s being held responsible.

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

Feeling powerless? Prop 50 is the fight that actually matters. Republicans are rewriting the rules to silence voters and steal seats, but we can stop them—for now. This is our chance to push back, protect our voices, and prove resistance works. Vote #YESonProp50 and reclaim control.

Vibrant illustration supporting “Yes on Prop 50” in California. The image shows a dramatic coastal scene with a setting sun over the ocean, rugged cliffs, and three large California poppy flowers in the foreground. The sky transitions from deep blue to orange, creating a bold, colorful atmosphere. At the top, the text reads “CALIFORNIA” with “Yes on Prop 50” below it, emphasizing the advocacy message.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top.

It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

@fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social so what does this means? If ALL Countries can't participate, then none should. 47 has created an absolute discrimination tool with this travel ban.

Calling Young Republicans the “youth wing“ of the party doesn’t capture how bad this is.

No excuse at any age but some might be tempted to chalk it up to age. Membership age for this org. is 18 to *40*. Some have jobs in government. We’re not talking abt high schoolers.

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 12h

“Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined”

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

Experts and local officials have linked the spike to the government's expanded, highly visible immigration operations and the use of masks and plain clothes by agents during raids

If you want to know who Republicans really are, just watch what they do when they get absolute power.
In North Carolina, one Democrat’s betrayal gave them a veto-proof supermajority.
So what did they do with it?

The Republican bill is incredibly unpopular. It would hurt millions & give tax cuts to billionaires.
Make the politics SO toxic that Republicans have to rework the budget framework completely. Protest! Resist! Join together to fight back!
