This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.
I know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Why do I post so much? Some of you have asked me this. I write and post every day because the stakes are so damn high. But mostly, I post every day because I believe in you. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-i-post-so-damn-often
Why I post so damn often
And a humble apology

Please note that rogue countries, like China, actively monitor and harass dissidents here. This is a trial balloon. If this is OK, there is nothing stopping the Trump admin from handing over “troublemakers” to countries who are “willing to make a deal”
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Just returned from a “no King’s March” in Riverside, California. It was nice to see other people who believe that our country could do much better than Donald Trump.

Maybe it is the nature of a cult but it has always amazed me that the MAGA faithful among us are the least aware of who Donald Trump is, what he has done, and what he is planning to do.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social FYI the VA PMS system is locked/down? I myself am a service provider to veterans, & I cannot request reimbursement for services from Oct-Dec 2024. It's not just me: No one can get in. Is this Musk/DOGE? PLEASE INVESTIGATE

I think about this quote a lot:
"Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals."

Trump’s trade war is about to screw us twice.
Higher prices on Canadian goods and anything made with them. Then, less demand for U.S. products in Canada. Now Trudeau is hitting back with $155B in tariffs on American goods. This isn’t “winning”—it’s self-sabotage.
Good job Trump voters.

This would be a good time for all the Republican Senators, Representatives, Governors, State AGs, and Judges I've heard say how pro-law enforcement they are during the course of my career to speak up.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.

I applaud his decision, but I am sad there is a need to do this.
President Biden preemptively pardons Dr. Fauci, Gen. Milley, and Jan. 6 Committee Members: “These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” Biden wrote in a statement.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.
