Or, perhaps the reason will be because he's stoking the flames of civil war in the streets of America.🔥🔥🔥

Gotta say--dressing up in costumes is the kind of creatively brilliant resistance we all need. It brings joy and humor to things while vividly painting the authoritarian as foolish and absurd. Hats off Portlanders! @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org I think this counts as the sprite of mischief.

I believe it was a lady in a car who was shot 7 times. She survived.

Black was shot in the head with a pepper ball. He's okay. He is suing based on free speech.

Well, he sounds very optimistic, and he does walk the halls where power is held, but I will believe it only when it actually happens! 🤞

I sure hope they find a reason to NEVER give it to him?

You might notice that these are all red states

And you have to wonder, when so many citizens in these states lose their healthcare, will they finally wake up, ditch MAGA and Trump, and finally start voting in their own self-interest

Why are they following illegal orders against American citizens?

Kathy @kathyresists.bsky.social · 10h

There are two versions of what happened. You should note that in the clip CNN posted online they edited out the word "plenary" from Miller's comment.

I wonder if someone at the White House ordered them to do that?

Who's unhinged? Bondi is totally lying.

What's the address for the Antifa Organization?
Who's their CEO?
They've never requested a fund raising donation from me!🤷‍♀️

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

The federal government must never obtain access to voter files. This administration wants them only want them for nefarious purposes.

Why do they let him get away with lying about violence in Portland.
It's totally Ridiculous!

Why don't they cut him off and roll the tape of the guy in the chicken suit and his dozen or so fellow protesters? Tonight they're having a dance party on a side street❗️

Hey Portland, if you have good body positivity or you're just a very brave soul, here's a fun way you can get out and protest the deployment of troops to your city, this Sunday, 10/12❗️
Show up and shock ICE!

This Sunday 10/12!
Portland can be weird! If you happen to live there and you're really brave, you might want to participate in this protest that was organized as an emergency protest against the deployment of troops.

Let's GO!!
PASS PROP 50!
VOTE EARLY RIGHT NOW!!

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Also, members of Congress needto 🛑 stop accepting money from AIPAC to fund their reelection campaigns. At this point, it's blood money.

Kathy @kathyresists.bsky.social · 1d

While I can appreciate the idea that prayers are a thoughtful gesture, prayers are not a policy choice!

The main policy choice that will actually work to achieve peace is to stop funding Netanyahu. He is a brutal butcher hell bent on committing genocide. He needs to be stopped.

Good news. So happy to learn that he's OUT!

Gallup has been surveying Americans' trust in legacy media since 1972. This year, a mere 28 percent of the public have "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust in legacy media, its lowest level in more than five decades of tracking.

We are all becoming disillusioned as we bear witness to the billionaires take over of corporate media to promote their own agenda or the propaganda of those who hold the reins of power in order to appease them.

Support independent journalists!

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.
