If you’re talking to conservatives about the Guard being sent into states against their will, use their own heroes.

Reagan literally wrote that liberty depends on limiting federal power.

Madison said those powers are “few and defined.”

Hold them to their words.

#Federalism #Accountability

A quote from James Madison in Federalist No. 45, shown over a glowing mountain landscape. Text reads: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” – James Madison, Federalist No. 45.

A quote from President Ronald Reagan set against a mountain sunrise. Text reads: “Federalism is rooted in the knowledge that our political liberties are best assured by limiting the size and scope of the national government.” – Executive Order 12612, Ronald Reagan.

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 18h

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"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."

“Just like we did with the cartels” is soft pedalling

They bombed multiple boats in international waters

They killed everyone on board

Why? Because they said they had drugs. They said they were terrorists. They’ve never shown any proof

Now they’re saying they will do the same thing to Americans

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 18h

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

What would it matter if they did? His #UltraMAGA kkklan will absolve him of any moral issues. If it's legal issues, SCOTUS gave him absolute immunity as a Pres to do as he pleases without repercussion

To everyone and especially MAGAs feeling betrayed by Trump's shameless lie that as president he would release the Epstein files:

Please share this video from 2017 you will NEVER see on Fox revealing how "LOCK HER UP!" in 2016 was Trump's biggest lie since "Make America Great Again".

🚨 Trump is plotting his next attack, and this time it’s on Social Security.

His team wants to gut disability benefits, stripping hundreds of thousands of older & vulnerable Americans of the lifeline they rely on.

At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

I thought this was supposed to be a "Christian" nation - why would a person then shoot a priest!?! WTF is wrong w/these people!?

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 1d

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

More reporting about how that ICE raid in South Shore might have been as much about evicting all the residents of the building for Wells Fargo as it was to kidnap migrants without due process.

flipinidaho @flipinidaho.bsky.social · 1d

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Maybe someone can explain this to us who have a dramatic increase in their electric bills. Why is it that the AI facilities draw all the electric they want & the cost of that is put onto everyone else?
They don't pay enough taxes & now they steal our money via huge elec bills to subsidize them
