Every dimwit cracker in every red state that will shit on his own dinner plate to own the libs. That's why every red state is a backward shithole with high crime and poor educational status. They are also big welfare cases.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I’m with @xennialfarmer.bsky.social 💯 on this.

No time for people throwing up their hands and saying “we’re cooked.”

The Anti-Musk @mediengestalter.bsky.social · Dec 7

Totalitarianism rises gradually. In The Handmaid's Tale, women's rights are eroded step by step under the guise of "safety & order."

Takeaway: Stay alert to small infringements on freedoms—they often lead to greater authoritarianism. Always question policies that threaten fundamental rights.

🧵1/9

A woman in a Handmaid's dress stands before a stark, black-and-white rendition of the U.S. flag. The stars have been replaced with a large Christian cross, symbolizing the rise of Christian nationalism and the so-called Christian right. She looks away.

Dem messaging right now should be this, loud and clear:

"The GOP would rather shut down the government than let the American people have affordable healthcare."

On repeat and everywhere.

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January
