Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or him. It belongs to us.

On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings!

"They're firing the judges because they think they're not going to need them. Instead of empowering the courts to process more cases, the administration appears to be eviscerating the system to potentially undermine legal proceedings altogether."

“Fired for no reason”: Former immigration judges speak out against Trump’s assault on the courts

The Trump administration’s push for more deportations is upending immigration courts. Recently terminated judges fear the changes imperil due process.

María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize for standing up to dictatorship. 🥇
Trump’s been auditioning for years, mostly by bombing her country and flattering tyrants.

Karma’s got a wicked sense of humor. 🤭

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Let's give him a little slack, he only reads on a 3rd grade level and giving him legal jargon in Latin is definitely too hard for him.

Just kidding, he's a moron. 🙄

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

So now, not only am I asking WHY Jack Ciattarelli voted to give rapists’ parental rights (fact check: true, see post below), I’m asking WHY & HOW he didn’t even TRY to answer to it when @mikiesherrill.bsky.social challenged him on it in the debate??

Good on Kelly & Gallego!

Johnson is holding the country hostage. Arizona sent Adelita Grijalva to represent them, but Johnson’s refusing to swear her in until he gets his way on the shutdown. Blocking a duly elected member is fascist blackmail.
Ripping away healthcare while obstructing justice.

🛑 Jack Ciattarelli didn’t flinch when democracy was under attack Jan 6. He didn’t condemn the violence nor the lies that fueled it. Instead, he stood by Trump, echoed his rhetoric & refused to hold him accountable. Ciattarelli doubled down. That’s dangerous, not principled #VoteNJ for Mikie Sherrill

Wanna know why Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"?
He knew he said the quiet fascist takeover part out loud.

Incorporated in 1929 & nestled in Camden County, Hi-Nella, NJ (population ~930) does in fact exist.

But not according to Republican Gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli.

Maybe Congressman @norcross.house.gov can take him on a tour some time. 😬

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
