Seems like a good time to remind Tennesseeans where we fit in to this agenda...now that we are allowing National Guard on our streets too!

Pathetic!!! And originally approved way back in March??? Must have started working on that on Day ONE instead of ending the war in Ukraine, lowering grocery prices, energy costs...

Or sending $12 BILLION to bale out another country after closing your own country, causing further financial ruin and pain to our farmers. As if they haven't suffered enough under Trump. He has SCREWED EVERY US FARMER & American!

Now, instead of vaccines, we get Tylenol & circumcisions as answers!

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

It's an Epstein shutdown!

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 18h

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Well, not to Trump or to his administration.

He doesn't care if Americans have clean water, healthcare, etc. And he certainly doesn't care about fraud, financial or otherwise. Nor does he expect the government to work for anyone but himself!

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 19h

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
