Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Veteran: Democracy and the First Amendment feel under attack right now. Trump is using Portland as a pawn to enrich his own power. The objective is to normalize military troops on the streets of American cities to prepare for a situation where he doesn't want to cede power

"We took the freedom of speech away"

Because of course you can just DO that, right?

And was it the screaming headline on every news outlet that Donald Trump had just cancelled the Bill of Rights?

It was not.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Here's a strategy @jennbudd.bsky.social revealed to me in our conversation on The Left Hook which will be up in a bit.

Chicago law enforcement needs to hold ICE agents accountable for unlawful use of force against residents.

This is perfectly legal.

Let's see MAGA go against the Blue.

Back in federal judge Sara Ellis' courtroom in Chicago for a second day of discussion on a proposed restraining order to rein in federal immigration agents' violent behavior.

Debate began on this issue on Monday, and ended without the court entering a formal order.

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 2d

@unraveledpress.com & other press have been threatened, shot with less-lethals and arrested while reporting on federal immigration activities in Chicagoland and on the resulting protests at Broadview.

I'm now at a hearing asking the federal court to rein ICE & co in. I'll let you know how it goes.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 2d

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

Just thinking. When the DEMs get back in power in 28 with the Executive and both houses, we MUST have a kick-ass Attorney General and President in Office who use the constitution and law to run like hell over the GOP law breakers. Full speed ahead, no compassion. I am tired of turning a check.

I know people who live in the US, voted for Trump, and are actually very happy with what he is doing. These people are "good Christians", go to church every Sunday, say grace before meals, love freedom, etc, etc. People like this actually exist. Literally actually exist.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"
