And as a danger to himself and others enforce a 72 hour psychiatric hold for an intensive medical and psychological and psychiatric and neurological evaluation STAT.

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

as expected

so please get the immunisation [even with the jab "Stratus" (XFG) and "Nimbus" (NB.1.8.1) may be lethal] - even just as a middle finger to the regime's anti-health/anti-science/anti-facts weirdos at Health and Human Sacrifice

And like serial killers they'll take great pleasure in abusing their power to maim, cause pain, anguish and death.

God @thegodpodcast.com · 16h

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

This is what is exciting for Trump/Miller and their minions. This is their view of America's future. We cannot allow it. It's up to each one of us to fight for our Democracy (safely of course) for our children and grandchildren.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Excellent article!!!

These days it can be scary to stand up and speak out publicly, but it is vital that everyone plays a role in saving democracy. Here are some ways to speak out and stay safe.

Silence Is Not an Option

But you can still speak out and stay safe.

Thank you for including me in this wonderful list. I'm just ending my second week and feel so welcomed. And l couldn't agree more with your views on Covid. It's imperative the word gets out because it certainly won't from the Trump administration.

Bambi @bkoslen54.bsky.social · 10h

Thank you for including me in this great list. I'm finishing my second week here and have been blown away by the acceptance l feel from everyone. It's much appreciated!

Imagine instead of the horror, sadness and devastation you feel looking at this you feel glee, happiness and powerful. That's how Trump/Miller and his minions feel.

Bella Allen @msbellaf.bsky.social · 11h

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was pleading and praying at a protest. See video in quote post

"Has a single ICE agent been disciplined, so far as we know, in the months this has been going on?....There's none of the normal 'we hope we don't have to use force,' they don't even pretend that anymore."

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1d

Reporter: Canadians are refusing to go to the us. The numbers are down like 23% in the first seven months of the year. What do you say to Canadians that don't want to go to the US because of your 51st state talk

Trump: Americans don’t want to buy cars made in Canada.

Bambi @bkoslen54.bsky.social · 1d

I know who he is. Last week l left Twitter for Bluesky, he was one of my first follows.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · Apr 19

I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile.

Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.

Drew Harwell @drewharwell.com · Apr 19

New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / liberal accounts on X. See that small blue dot? That's @acyn.bsky.social. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him. wapo.st/3RpEvJ7

Not that these out of control morons are needlessly harming other's.

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · 1d

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

I just happened to watch Gandhi this weekend and l couldn't agree more!

Asha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 2d

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

And someone should consider the absolute horror of having Stephen Miller in control.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 1d

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

"On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart"

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America
