I gather from the fundraiser he has mentioned in a post, they have not yet gotten out of the US.

on one hand it's certainly problematic for national security reasons but on the other hand since the administration seems to be an adversary of democracy itself it's not entirely bad to get insight into things like this that demonstrate the blatant disregard for democratic norms and law...

Did truth social’s custom UI remove the admonishment on the web interface when sending a DM that DMs on Mastodon are not encrypted? Mastodon’s defaults to mentioning that.

Disappointing and totally unsurprising that potus is sending unencrypted messages to run the country.

Coinciding with the reported arrival of Texas National Guard troops at the US Army Reserve training center in the Chicago suburb of Elwood was the issuance of a temporary flight restriction affecting UAS operators (mostly media) over the area in effect until 12/6.

Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job!

Sometimes, a video like this helps to keep that sliver of hope somehow still intact safe… at least for one more day.

People often ask about the value of protests - this is what they is good for! To show that we are not alone, to demonstrate the power of people united, to offer hope and community.

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

.

Images of burning buildings and insurrection in Oregon circulating by Trump sycophants are unsurprisingly bad fakes.

They are in fact from South America.

Hint:
In the US the word "POLICE" is used.
In South America they use the word "POLICIA".

So yes, more of this please. Mock them mercilessly.

Mock their solemnity.
Mock their rituals.
Mock their myth of authority.

Because every pepper ball fired at a frog is a confession.

They’re afraid.

This is how asymmetrical resistance works....

Use absurdity to fracture spectacle

Use laughter to disrupt command

Use mockery to rob power of its mask

It’s not weakness.
It’s insurgent narrative warfare.

Passive aggressive level 100 this is how we roll in the PNW 🤣 Protesters in Portland are going ice fishing with donuts as bait on fishing polls, holding dance offs in front of ICE barricades in goofy costumes and just being incredibly annoying to ICE there's no violence from protesters whatsoever.
