You look at who is financing the people destroying it

Vance’s entire career, for example, can be traced to Peter Thiel

The Ellisons just took over Paramount and CBS, and apparently now want to grab HBO MAX

To keep our republic, we must defend freedom of speech; the #RuleofLaw; and not allow the military to do domestic law enforcement. I will defend these pillars and stand strong against this bullying, lawless administration, as I explained to @kylec.bsky.social. www.9news.com/video/news/l...

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

They’ve never cared about immigrants. They only needed a large, but marginalized, community as an excuse to build up their own private army.

“Immigration” will be immediately forgotten once the private army is in place

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

This opinion is a tour de force and a defense of our Constitution and the Rule of Law. It quoted James Madison, cautioning against a standing military force being used as “instrument of tyranny.” We all must continue to stand up against this administration’s dangerous lawlessness.

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order blocking the president’s order to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland when a federal judge granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order. Read our statement.

You are free here in Colorado to be a religious zealot.

“Religious medicine” that harms our kids is neither religious nor medicine.

Proud of our team who defended at #SCOTUS Colorado's ban on so-called "conversion therapy," a discredited and harmful practice. Medical professionals should not be given a First Amendment right to harm patients with substandard care. For more details, see here: www.westword.com/news/colorad...

In Colorado, we know what responsible governance looks like--and our leadership on the opioid crisis is a stellar example of it. As Governor, I will take our tradition of collaborative and innovative leadership to meet the range of challenges facing our state. philforcolorado.com/colorado-kno...

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

The go-along-and-hope-for-the-best behavior of other candidates was grossly naive

Take names, badge numbers, photos/vids, and info on superior officers.

Individuals who violate civil rights “under the color of law” can still be held liable for money damages. Not just the agencies for whom they work

Sue these people throughout the rest of their lives. Make an example of them
