And the news article saying that people have a right to have people who look like them live next door to them not a bunch of immigrants? And does that include people who look like his wife? And this mania expected to be our next president? Hello???

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.

DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

@maurakellerforga.bsky.social Looking forward to supporting your run for the #ushouse to represent #troupcountyga against #repbrianjack. The @rarediseasesint.bsky.social community needs a voice against the dismantling of @nihr.bsky.social from a shiny moderates perspective.

2/2In #Federalistpaper#48 , Madison writes that one of the failings of our ‘constitutions’ (there were many drafts preceding the final) is that we are reliant upon ‘parchment enforcements’ when one branch exercises overreach that disables the others.

He wrote that on February 1, 1788…

1/2 And-what if we don’t?
Then what?
I’ve considered one of his rantings: he mentioned that there were circumstances when elections can be ‘suspended’. Shouldn’t we ALL be looking at his dismantling of norms as the way to create the very situation that would allow that? @smerconish.bsky.social

3/3 Here’s another ‘I wonder’: @smerconish.bsky.social : Can you take a deep dive into Trump’s plan to bring us back to the gold standard through his use of his #bitcoin? Implications? Pros?Cons? I watch the markets and am not convinced the ‘gold mining’ isn’t a warning sign of some sort.

2/3 I support #noKINGS, but feel the message needs to be more urgent and more direct. How about, #GOP:WhereAreYou? Dare I say I am nostalgic for the protest days that took over the news day after day after day? I long for the days of Neil Young protest songs.

@smerconish.bsky.social 1/3 Confession: I’m a 1952 baby-boomer. I wake up each morning wondering how my generation, despite our other faults, managed to change the course of the Vietnam War and how we can do it to turn this wave of authoritarianism in the same way.

"What's happening right now is continuing to evolve, and we don't really know where it's going. It's important not to take the attitude of 'this too will pass,' hunker down for a couple of years and then it will go back to the way it was." @hiltzikm.bsky.social

THIS TOO SHALL PASS??
