“America’s senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process.”

That could start a civil war, or at least a skirmish. Pritzker is a smart guy, he'll know how far to push back.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 17h

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

Portland has plenty of stores. And boutiques. Lots of boutiques.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

If you don't walk (or wheel) a mile in shoes of someone with chronic illness OR their caregivers, you can't fully understand the struggles we face. We fight SO hard to keep up w/forms & paperwork & granted FORTUNATE access to healthcare to LIVE.

To dangle healthcare & RIP it from us is MERCILESS! 🤬

SHAME ON THE MEDIA. Do you know who is NOT represented telling OUR stories? People like me and MILLIONS with chronic illness and Lupus, chronic pain, cancer survivors, Seniors and OTHERS who live on FIXED incomes that'll be devastated by health care INCREASES from ACA & CUTS from the BBB. AWARENESS!

And the shooting of the activist SURE does look like an attempted street execution of an known activist.
She was ID’ed days earlier as “doxxing ICE agents”.
It was ICE who boxxed her in, then came out guns blazing.
She managed to escape and drive away.
ICE tried to execute her.
We have it on film.

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"

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence.

Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important.

It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Screw you, MLB, for licensing your games on a case by case basis and not including them in your own streaming package. I had to buy 5 different services to catch all of the playoff games.

But switching the Mariners game to a channel that I don’t have midway through the fourth inning? Unreal.

If *I* pointed the weapon in the picture at a cop and the cop shot and killed me, the cop would get off EVERY SINGLE TIME.
If I kill the cop, I'd get convicted EVERY SINGLE TIME.
This asymmetry IS THE PROBLEM.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
