Why is it that his base of voters didn't believe him when he said he would do these things, but others did believe it? Why are we so different? I knew he was going to do these things. Didn't you?

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do." "He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

It begs the question "why don't the Democrats have more meltdowns?" We should all be melting down over this. It is NOT an overreaction. We KNOW that they are not there to "protect" cities. If these cities need protection, it is protection from their armed, lawless, violent thugs and goons.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 19h

This is so not normal. And so not right. And so unconstitutional. And if a Democratic president had the Governor of Illinois send IL national guard troops to Texas, @GregAbbott_TX would be having a meltdown.

If they need a volunteer, I'll do it!

Let's go, everybody! October 18th! Be there!

Absolutely!! And the more they punch, the harder we push back and the louder we get.

@debbie156 @debbie156.bsky.social · 1d

To my fellow resisters-
Take a page from anyone that has walked through the fire of adversity and use that to build strength. The more they punch us, the stronger we must get. Stay hopeful & resilient.
We will prevail.

Remember this? This is the 4th Amendment. So when ICE Agents are referred to as lawless thugs, it's because they are ignoring the 4th Amendment for starters.

The 4th Amendment is not a suggestion, it's the law.

This is absolutely true. They are also our friends and neighbors in many cases. We can't remain silent in the face of this horror and injustice. We cannot. We must DEMAND everyone be treated with dignity and respect, NOT dragged from our streets and shipped to hellholes. We cannot be silent!

Immigrants make up nearly 1 in 6 U.S. workers from doctors and engineers to farmworkers and caregivers.

They don’t “take” jobs, they keep America running.

In a democracy, this would never be tolerated. So what does that tell you about what is happening right now and what do you plan to do to help?

ACLU @aclu.org · 1d

NEW: We filed a brief in support of the Associated Press in their lawsuit against the Trump administration.

Media outlets shouldn't have to parrot the government's worldview — whether it's the name of the Gulf of Mexico or anything else — in order to access White House events.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 1d

Please participate. We need everyone out there on the 18th. Mark you calendars and please don't forget. It's our only way out of this mess.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 2d

I think the answer is easily understandable. They are not Christians. Their religion is Donald Trump. That is who they serve. That's it.

It is definitely an all-hand-on-deck moment. But I'm terribly concerned about America's underreaction to all of it. They are losing support, yes, but they grab more power and become more lawless by the day.

We need all Americans to stand up right now and pushback against this insanity.

Please.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 2d

Everything by Trump and Miller right now is weakness.

They know they've lost the majority and their policies are unpopular and they've F'd up the economy.

So, they'll use the military and threats and unleash their Reeks.

But, they don't have the numbers.

All hands on deck resistance.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 2d

He's lying. He's always lying. This is just not true Full. Stop.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 2d

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 2d

Their war on the truth now allows them to kill and maim people and get away with it.

America! How long will you let them get away with it?

STAND UP! SPEAK OUT NOW!!

Did you see anyone breaking the law in this video? Anyone but the ICE agent?

It is state-sponsored terrorism.

onion person @junlper.beer · 4d

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Think about this. He's cutting 33 million Americans' healthcare access and the rest of us will be paying exponentially higher premiums. 100% in some cases. But he just took 20 billion American tax dollars and gave to his authoritarian buddy in Argentina.

More lies from the GOP. The Democrats are not and never have, pushed for free healthcare for illegal immigrants. Not happening. Never happened.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans?

They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs?

What do the 20+ million think about that?

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 4d

Trump's America. Speak out!

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

They gathered them all to tell them that they now own the military. They told them that the military will play a role in combat with the enemy within. That's us, by the way. They told them if they weren't on board with that, they should resign or they will be fired. That's what they were told.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 7d

America's highest-ranking military officers would be 100% correct. Congress has let us down. The Supreme Court has let us down. Too many corporate entities, include Mickey Mouse, have let us down.

Why would we think that the military will not let us down?

Are there any brave Americans left?
