Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

The Constitution was meant to protect the people from the government. Trump is using it to protect the government from the people.

My unsolicited advice for Dems that'll help instead of the centrist, feckless, overpaid corporate consultant BS:

1. Promise to tax the rich

2. Don't support Israel's genocide

3. Criticize ICE & refuse to fund it

4. Don't throw "the woke" under the bus

5. Run on affordability AND accountability

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

Fact
Nothing Trump does is intended to benefit average people in the US, Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, or anywhere else. They are always the ones who bear the costs, burdens and negative consequences.

Everything he does benefits himself and his billionaire cronies around the globe.

FBI raiding reporters homes at request of the Pentagon sounds completely legit and not at all like the USA has turned into an authoritarian state. I’m proud of the folks who realize what’s happening and are speaking out. I am ashamed of the cowards & fools that are complacent.

Trump in late 2020 executed a preexisting plan, in the event he lost, to use lies about election fraud to try to stay in office. He wasn't misled by advisors. He was lying. Recent revisionism by his backers doesn't change that. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

ICE has a budget larger than many countries entire military spending but I guess ‘shooting out the tires’ wasn’t covered in training.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

I'm watching his speech and it's wild he has no idea what's going on in the country.

54% of Americans say they won't be able to pay for health care next year.

25% skipped a meal because they couldn't afford it.

The economy is good for billionaires. That's all he cares about.

DHS is using retro, authoritarian-coded imagery to recruit “homeland defenders.” The zeppelin isn’t random. Historically, it’s been used in propaganda to signal state power, surveillance, and militarized nationalism. #holdfast #SteadyState #getsmart
