Nature at night, cars are not people, lover of law—not lawyers, agency & self-determination are essential to democracy and rule of law. No lists, just chatting DMs.

I haven’t and won’t forget when the next generation of US ice skating talent was taken out by this regime—I think purposefully but conceivably accidentally still—as payment or favor on this regimes’ seizing power.

Word to the wise: even if you aren't in a city under direct attack yet, you want to be developing these sorts of relationships NOW with sympathetic folks at local institutions.

You want to have those numbers in your phone ready for when you have to send exactly these sorts of texts.
Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.

Need to stress that this is indeed a big deal because figure skating is a *very* conservative sport. You could lose your Olympic spot for doing same sex doubles until a few years ago.
Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

This is an image of a federal agent shooting chemical munitions at a crowd at point blank range in Minneapolis on the day Renee Good was executed

Whatever your feelings on law enforcement, understand they don't apply here whatsoever because ICE categorically *has nothing to do with law enforcement*

Impeachment is for Presidents.

Quo Warranto is for removing someone not lawfully holding that office at all—unitarily.

Facilitating end of country may be the brand of certain media but corporations can be guilty of treason and international crimes against humanity too.

Renounced the Constitution in every which way.

A lawless dictator is not the lawful leader of this country at all.

So many times over.

You know what? Go ahead and abolish Homeland Security, too.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

Anybody who understands law at all understands this is no such thing as a lawful executive.

We the American people did not choose this.

I’ve honestly never been more bullish on ACA subsidy extensions than I am right now. Lots of House Rs broke ranks, and Senate Rs are realizing the midterms will be a bloodbath if they don’t do the same.

But the narrative remains:

It was the Democrats who saved health care.

Again.

The American government has gone completely rogue and should be considered armed and dangerous to the entire American population.

This is NOT normal, not acceptable, and most importantly, it's NOT LAWFUL.

TEST ME, TRY, SEE IF IM STEERING YOU WRONG.

Authoritarians use performative lying to mark who is for, and more importantly, against their regimes.

The point isn’t determining truth. The point is creating an ingroup whose loyalty is assured through ritually denying reality and an easily recognizable outgroup that refuses the delusion.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.
