I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Same for the National Guard member in DC, the Venezuelans, and so many more.
If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today.
No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Or did they?
Let’s not forget that over 77M Americans voted for this reckless, ignorant creature to retake the levers of power.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

How many innocent people died? How much did this cost while Americans lose healthcare and can’t get childcare or afford life? God protect the troops as our peace president used to say. All for oil & changing the subject.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The AI oligarchs are creating this “race” with China while giving them advance chips so that can catch up to make it somewhat of a race, which they can then use to justify their energy, resource and water-sucking data centers. It’s your patriotic duty to support it! Beat China!

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Yes, and how our own family members choose him over those of us who call it out. It’s repeatedly astounding. I know, cult whatever, but come on - you’ve known me for 30 years, dear mother-in-law. I attempted to respect the relationship. You did not. Done.
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

The Indiana State Senate rejected President Donald Trump’s call for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms. The move preserves Indiana’s current map and represents yet another rebuke of Trump’s national gerrymander push.
