Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

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.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

Justice Kavanaugh compared wrongful stops of U.S. citizens to a mild inconvenience. Tell that to those terrorized in a raid in Chicago

As @tusk81.bsky.social noted, "This chaos has not been isolated to major American cities where the admin is engaged in the political targeting of perceived enemies"

Mass Deportation Is A Threat To Us All

Aided by the Supreme Court and the insidious "Kavanaugh stop," the administration's chaotic mass deportation operations are sweeping up Americans – including children and U.S. military veterans.

Attacking an 84-year-old couple is totally disgraceful. The members of ICE who did it should be in jail.

Reportedly Pam Bondi had a note book at the hearing with bullets of insults to hurl at the Senators. I guess she ran out of insults when Senator Whitehouse questioned her the second time. Note she never said no!

The playbook says the only way to break Trump’s regime is to make the Epstein files public. Why that matters? Click to see how a single document could flip the narrative. https://americanmanifesto.news/the-shadow-comms-brief

Gregg Abbott Declared War On Illinois

When a state’s army marches into another state, uninvited, armed, and there to harm, what do you call that?

A military occupation? A violation of state sovereignty? A Civil War?

An Armed Invasion?

Trump and his Republican lapdogs are punishing innocent government employees doing critical work because of a shutdown they had no control over. It's pathetic. It's also Trump's shutdown. No one else's.
