Trump posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and dumping shit from a “King Trump” jet on No Kings protesters.

This is what Trump thinks about voters.

As always when reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, I learn something, get infuriated and then motivated.

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

What perplexes--how procedurally can they do this? What jurisdiction did the U.S. have on the high seas? Where is the probable cause to arrest and detain rather than rescue and repatriate? What possible law are they charging them with? OR are they using the "enemy combatants" lies like in past wars?

💯!!!!!!!! The U.S. doesn't deserve these games (regardless of any payments that may or may not have been made to any selection committees).

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Don't forget the pensions they get later--those should be dropped, or at least prorated to reflect actual time in session.

It has been tried before, several times, but never made it over the finish line. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distric.... It is truly unjust--taxation without representation (like DC today) was of course a big reason the now-U.S. fought for independence.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.
