I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

He aligned himself with the KKK, White Nationalists and Nazis. There is no coming back from that.

ICE is firing pepper bullets and deploying smoke grenades in Portland, even though protesters are remaining in their designated area and peacefully dancing.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 6h

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

Trump would rather burn down the country than release the Epstein Files.

Over 80% of voters want it released.

Release the Epstein Files.

If the Gestapo can't even protect themselves, with all their military gear and body armour, against a few Furries and a handful of peaceful protestors, then this is the pettiest fascist coup in modern history.

Bunch of losers.
🤣🤣😡

Keep up the protests!

Timo van Esch @fibonaccieu.bsky.social · 1h

Wait, What?!?
Whiny baby: "You failed to protect my Gestapo!!! 😭"
Wasn't the Gestapo created to harass others?
🤣🤣🤣

People, be safe.

The Fascists are Whining. And whining fascists are like cornered rats: They're dangerous cry-babies.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Government officials should never interfere with or influence artists’ music. Art is protected speech under the First Amendment. When power tries to control creativity, it’s no longer about culture—it’s about censorship, and that’s a dangerous path for any democracy. #Pinks

People aren’t going to want to pay for childcare and transportation to and from the office if they don’t think they’ll ever see a paycheck for the work they did during the shutdown.

This is what we get in Cheeto Mussolini's America. If you're poor, middle class, you're going to drink poison water. From the same folks that during the first administration rolled back the water protections that have been in place since the year I was born... I don't know what folks expected.

EPA moves to roll back drinking water standards

The Environmental Protection Agency is looking to roll back regulatory standards for three types of PFAS chemicals in drinking water systems.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

This is the epitome of the nonstop perverted maga propaganda that has dissolved the moral fiber of our nation. The majority of the press never pushes back.

We’re on our own to defeat this fascist regime.

In the Trump Orange tits era, their crime was what? Their crime was having non-white skin. That’s the only reason they were targeted by ICE. FUCK ICE!!!

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?
