Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

Chicago shines despite the night of repression. Free voices are not silenced. 🌃✊ #Chicago #Freedom #Resistance

What's happening in Chicago is a disgrace. You don't intimidate a people with military force. Fundamental rights must be respected. #Chicago #Justice #StopRepression

“Habeas corpus = protection against arbitrary detention, enshrined in the US Constitution. When you ask Trump about it, he replies: “Suspend who?” 🤦‍♂️ He doesn’t even understand the basics of freedom. #HabeasCorpus #Democracy”

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 1d

“Have you given any more thought to suspending habeas corpus?”

TRUMP: “Suspending who?” 🤷🏼

Aaand scene.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

🚨 Memphis — An unmarked police SUV caused a pileup while pursuing a vehicle with its lights on but no siren. Endangering lives without warning drivers is unacceptable. #Memphis #PoliceAccountability #PublicSafety

MEMPHIS—An unmarked law enforcement SUV caused a three-vehicle crash while chasing another vehicle through an intersection in Frayser. The unmarked vehicle had its blue lights on but did not have sirens on when it entered the intersection.

🚨 The law is clear: In Tennessee, the governor can only deploy the National Guard in the face of an invasion or rebellion. Using it as police is unconstitutional, upheld by the courts and the AG. #Tennessee #RuleOfLaw #Constitution

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 7d

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side.

You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!
