The regime is obviously worried about the No Kings rallies. Give them reason to be: Show up!

Bessent said, “If, in fact, they are waiting for this ‘No Kings’ protest, you know, ‘no kings’ means no paychecks. No paychecks and no government.”

Sounds like a clear line in the sand… y’all feel like being serfs in a tinpot dictatorship?

More on illegal detention of US citizens…

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 1d

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

Turns out this Administration’s favorite dictator (in 2016), is the Egyptian leader who engineered a “$10 million loan” to Trump’s campaign.

Still no word on where the $50k taken by Tom Homan is or where the Epstein Files are.

If Kristi Noem was your neighbor, she’d be up on charges.

Why not now?

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 3d

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”
