Aren’t these guys the same ones who helped finance the 9/11 terrorists, gave Javanka a few billion and have control of the new Air Force One?
Idaho, don’t we have several nuke bunkers there? Seems unsafe to me but what do I know, right?

Everyday for the rest of my life, I will proclaim
I AM ANTIFA

Bee @beesmartypants.bsky.social · 4h

Every interaction with a human is an opportunity for resistance. I was generously given a pin, “Immigrants make America Great” that I proudly display whenever I’m in public. Usually on a Tee with a message.
I get a lot of nods, smiles and a few fingers. All opportunities to share a smile of freedom

At what point are we no longer the UNITED States of North America?

Until the masses get their heads out of their asses we will continue to watch the fall of the UNITED States

ARREST THIS ICE CRIMINAL!!! He shot a citizen not once, but SEVEN TIMES without cause!!!

Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@qasimrashid)

An ICE fascist shot an American citizen 7 times, then arrested her, then filed a false police report that he was ambushed by 10 cars all while taunting her to “Do something, b*tch”—AND ITS ALL ON CAME...

We all have to resist. Find your local groups and join. Go to your local town halls, rallies and protests. Call your senators and representatives and tell them how you feel.

Silence is compliance. 💙

AS A PROUD MEMBER OF ANTIFA (CANADIAN DIVISION 🇨🇦) I CAN CONFIRM WE’RE VERY POWERFUL, VERY POLITE PEOPLE. STRONG MEN WITH TEARS COME UP TO ME AND SAY: “SIR, YOU AND HABEAS CORPUS ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS.” WE RECYCLE. WE APOLOGIZE. WE DOMINATE!!

Fighting for Democracy Everyday @rhopper03.bsky.social · 1d

This scares the hell out of me. What kind of a country have we become? Mean, cruel, too lazy or too uneducated to stand up for our democracy? Nearly 40% of Americans believe the US military should be turned on its own people? That 40% aren’t American. They may be MAGA but they ARE NOT Americans.

KSlatteryResist @kslatteryresist.bsky.social · 2d

Nearly 60% of Americans don’t want troops deployed to our cities without the presence of external threats. Trump’s ICE and military actions in several USA cities are NOT popular #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

I would never buy my rx from anyone in the regime. I’d worry about dilution & tampering to increase profits

They have been watering down education since the 80’s when the tv preachers told them to start with the PTA & school boards. The arts have been basically nixed because of free expression. Logic & Philosophy, history & poetry almost deleted from curriculums because it makes kids think!

I’m hoping the others will make similar announcements. If nothing else, to quell the fear growing before it erupts into rage
