How long is this outrageous activity going to carry on before someone puts a legal stop to it?
Interesting-Trump manages to get gratitude of Israel/Palestine (I use that loosely & only because he sees land development),while instigating unrest/conflict/illegal activity in US-The antithesis of peace!

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

Every day that passes I am more convinced of two things:

1) This regime’s attempt to consolidate and hold power is going to collapse in truly spectacular fashion

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 9h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

After literal decades of jerking our chain, it should be plainly obvious to everyone that the Democratic Party has NO plan to competently address fascism other than to competently plan their stock portfolios around it and send fundraising emails that turn OUR crises into profit-making opportunities.
