Democracy & freedom of Constitution come BEFORE following the orders of corrupt lawmakers. 2025 is the beginning of our New Testament (US edition.) Trump & Maga are Pharasees dictating a country under their control. The

GOP taking Healthcare as they make cost of living skyrocket, healthcare unaffordable & close rural hospitals is ridiculous. Only old white men terrified of being a minority could make up these policies.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Resistance is righteous. We believe in democracy.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

Public figures who opine about politicians need to bring context, receipts & an explanation for their pov. Trump & followers often say, "___ is so bad, so corrupt, low IQ, they're nobody..." but are short on facts to support assertions. Rogan mentions, "He ruined LA." But doesn't say anything @47?!

Put up with a lot of skit before you drew a line?
Not Epstein cover-up?
Maybe tanking economy?
Or creating a police state?
Perhaps family separations?
Shutting down government?
Bombing small ships at sea?
Or creating largest deficit in US history?!?!

MAGA is also the party of a Pedophile, obstructing justice, covering for raping POTUS & wealthy donors to their campaigns.

One group who should not be paid is ICE, HLS & secretaries dividing our country.

More than 70% find Noem sucks at Border Security or serious government messaging. Let's get to Epstein files and the campaign cash she's been using to fund her costumes.

Definitely don't want anyone who is illiterate in math & science to be telling a prestigious institution what to teach.

47 is playing with 1/2 a deck. Someone needs to tell trump he's losing the entire US brand like his airline, casinos & water. Our country is not a business.

That "plenary authority" is deep in Miller's xenophobic head. He should be jailed for war crimes already. It can only get worse

You’ll never guess who is in charge of the Homeland Security Council….

(Miller. It’s Stephen Miller.)

Jordan Fischer @jordanonrecord.bsky.social · 23h

NEW: A senior ICE official testified today the WH Homeland Security Council — and not the State Department — informed him Uganda was the deportation target for Abrego Garcia.

DOJ then asserted presidential privilege over any other details about the call. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

They're masked proud boys. Took an 8-week course in "plenary power" to arrest, detain, shoot, manhandle, pepper spray & humiliate anyone to receive bonuses & boyscout badges.

This is why China is now the most powerful country. It's all about energy. China figured it out when they bought technology from Reagan. GOP are old school Neanderthals incapable of addressing the future.

Peace, what a woke concept.
