This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

I am Black American. My people were enslaved, segregated, and degraded for hundreds of years. There was a time when it was considered politically untenable to abolish slavery and legally dismantle Jim Crow. It got done. So, yes, a free Palestine is a political possibility. It is inevitable.

Amazing how quickly and meekly the US folded to fascism- almost as if the whole second amendment shit was a scam…

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."

Trump called for jailing Chicago's mayor and the governor of Illinois, both Democrats, as his administration prepared to deploy military troops from Texas to the streets of the third-largest U.S. city.

The one man crime spree, 34 times convicted felon and adjudicated rapist said what now? 🤷‍♀️

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 7h

Trump: Everything we're doing is very lawful and what they're doing is not lawful.

And what the governor and mayor, as an example, you can say of Portland and certainly of Chicago, it's not lawful what they're doing. They have to be very careful.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom."

Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange:
Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?”
Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.”
Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.”
