Not "bucking tradition."

Declaring war on American cities is not a charming, quirky, silly deviation from usual operations.

Call it what it is: treason.

NPR @npr.org · 1d

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

Trump's power to deploy National Guard, explained

It cannot be made plainer than this. In word and deed, the President and the Secretary of Defense are actively, intentionally, levying war against the American people, American cities and their political opposition.

It's beyond time to call the President's intent to wage a "war from within" what it is: Treason.

@citizensimpeachment.com does just that in its new article of impeachment.

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

This story needs national attention.

Not just because what happened to her was horrific, but also to get the American public accustomed to the idea that ICE cannot be trusted

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

And ofc all the caveats

We still have to fight. Just because this regime will fall doesn't mean they can't cause massive damage in the meantime.

Build community
Look out for your neighbors
Don't give up
Never comply in advance

Conservatives, please consult a bdsm professional because this need for dominance in public life is inappropriate. There’s children here. Nobody needs to see your kinks. You’re blaming and subjugating communities for your disgusting perversions and that’s a menace.

Been saying. We are a nation accustomed to bread and circus

When the bread starts running low, the circus gets amped up, but that's not a sustainable long-term strategy.

Gwen Snyder is undead @gwensnyder.bsky.social · Jun 24

The problem for Trump now is, his governing strategy depends on creating an escalating series of novel dramatic shitshows.

But he's running out of novelty now, all he can do is escalate and/or create variations on *existing* shitshows.

That does not lend itself as well to control of the newscycle

Still convinced this is a result of living in a bread and circus society

This whole thing is propped up by constant consumerism and addiction to fun. Take away the ability to have fun and buy things on demand, and people [insert joker meme] lose their minds

You know.

Maybe it was a bad idea to let a felon who can't stop declaring bankruptcy and engaging in shady business practices be the president.

Anti-trafficking moralizers are some of the worst people to exist. They weaponize and commodify trafficking survivors' trauma for their own social and monetary benefits. Anti-trafficking is a billion-dollar industry. And little of that goes towards abolishing actual trafficking or aiding survivors
