Well deserved. Gods if you could see where they are holding them

He’s threatening to go after born citizens first. I for one would volunteer to be stripped of citizenship. It would mean I’m on the right side of history

I think we all need to attend a town hall

Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · Jul 11

If Trump “border czar” Tom Homan wants to visit Portland, he can attend my open-to-all town hall next month in Multnomah County to hear local feedback on Trump policies that include masked and unidentified agents snatching people off the street.

Let’s not forget that he also made his first direct move to end gender affirming care for minors. I am so scared for my baby

PLEASE ensure your voter registration is up to date. Mango Mussolini has tricksy people around him. You know why so many aspects of the BBB aren’t kicking in until 2026?

Midterms.

If we can’t turn at least some of the tides in midterms, you all know we won’t come back from what happens next.

The only part I MIGHT ascribe to Trump is that he ended our funding for the system that warns of things like this. HOWEVER, it’s also Texas. They have a long history of being too busy being rebels to develop any common sense. Have you seen their leadership?

If China “can’t” accept defeat of Russia because of the US, I fully expect the Would Be King’s response to be “Well Ukraine is going to win then because you said it can’t!”

Literal oppositional defiance disorder leading us into WW3

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the European Union’s top diplomat that Beijing can’t accept Russia losing its war against Ukraine as this could allow the United States to turn its full attention...

#ProudBlue #Resist #PressOn Happy #NoKingsDay , it’s what today’s about!
The day the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence they asserted the right of the citizens & inhabitants of this land to be free of all kings.
We have celebrated this for 249 years. Mourn now, fight tomorrow.

No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.

In times like these, we need a few standout individuals who can fire up the people who want to take democracy back.

I wonder if that happens anytime soon.

Not being Pollyanna, but I'd love some democracy loving-charismatic personalities with powers of persuasion.

That would be nice. Please.

Oh please. I mean, you’re right of course but he’s a tiny man with only words on his side and obviously no understanding of what that would bring.

Well you know…we’re revisiting history. Systemic racism, child exploitation, plagues and preventable diseases. And boot lickers kissing the feet of another mad king.

Happy 4th! Let us all celebrate the memories of a time when we were free by revisiting the part of history where we lick the boots of a mad king.
Oh wait! That’s not history. That’s current events. Sorry! Must be the autism. 🤣

While gutting SNAP food aid for children & families, Republicans are providing a $2 BILLION tax break for gun silencers.

I denounced this handout to the gun lobby in @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social and will keep fighting it on the floor. The GOP’s budget priorities are sorely misguided!

this is shockingly vile. versions of it will be repeated over the months to come. it will become less shocking. don't let it be. call it what it is, every single time.

the thought of disappearing immigrants to foreign gulags was just a couple of months ago beyond the pale. now it's national policy.

Good to know one of the U.S. President's main influencers on national security policy is calling for actual genocide (65 mil is the total Latino population of the U.S.)

You think you’re cool because you made yourself elf ears.
