I waited until Bluesky filled out and then closed my Facebook and Twitter accounts in utter disgust and made the move.

I have found my new home and it is all of you who have made me feel so welcome.

Thank you.

I am now the happy warrior I once was, at peace amongst my own.

Much love to all...

Surely the SCOTUS sees that he is angling toward the invocation of the Insurrection Act.

They have to know it's all a setup for the final power grab.

RIGHT ?

JUST "THIS"

I am not prepared for any of this

I am off balance because of all of this

I do not know how to cope with any of this

I do not see any end to this

I promise I will not let any of this

KILL ME

That is our only hope. But who will demand them, and how will they demand them? And where the f*ck is SCOTUS. There is no greater force at the moment, I just don't see it.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.”

People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave.

Are we falling victim to a neo-classical dynasty that chooses to stamp humanity out whilst in the process of dominating same?

His base is no longer enough to win an election. It's the independents that are leaving him in droves. They were never really part of his base. Legacy media just told us they were.

Individual states must remember that their actions are judged within the framework of what is intended to be a civil society.

They are not free to take a side against another state's sovereignty.

We are a United States of America. That is final.

When a state faces the choice between defending its citizens or succumbing to the military power of another state, the decision becomes significant.

I believe they will prioritize the interests of their own state's citizens above all else.

Trump would LOSE his BASE and HARM the COUNTRY, along with TAKING the LIVES of DEMOCRATS rather than releasing what must be extremely INCRIMINATING evidence in the EPSTEIN FILES.

NEVER before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

America doesn't work that way.

An ICE agent had completely lost control when he called that WOMAN a bitch and then proceeded to shoot her 7 times.

We wouldn't allow this from the police, why should we from ICE?

NOBODY signs up for the National Guard thinking that someday they'll invade American cities and states.

NOBODY !

In Portland, ICE is met by DANCERS in the street, NOT violence as suggested.

The Oregon National Guard says they will DEPLOY to defend the protesters if need be.

They are NOT joking.

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

We're supposed to keep calm and carry on like none of this chaos around US is happening. I can't do that though. It's impossible to ignore because we are bombarded with it constantly.

ICE has every department open during the shutdown.

EXCEPT for one, the department that conducts inspections of its facilities' conditions.

Lindsey Halligan was an illegal appointment and her signature on the Comey indictment is invalid as a result.

The only person who is legally empowered to act is Eric Siebert, the prosecutor who was fired for choosing not to file charges against James Comey.
