I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Last week, a Dutch court ordered Meta to give Facebook & Instagram users the right to set a chronological feed by default - one of the first EU cases applying the DSA in civil proceedings.

To unpack what this means, I spoke with @bitsoffreedom.bsky.social:

Hnutí Stačilo! po volebním neúspěchu dostane od státu desítky milionů korun. Peníze zůstanou jen přímo formaci kolem Daniela Sterzika, KSČM ani sociální demokraté žádný podíl nezískají.

Stačilo! získá po debaklu desítky milionů od státu. Komunisté a sociální demokraté z toho nedostanou ani korunu

Vystopovat ten myšlenkový pochod: “SPD nemůže být na vnitru! Dáme jim obranu!” je docela nadlidský úkol.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

If they shoot a praying white priest in broad daylight, knowing they are being filmed, do you really think YOU will be safe?

Trump zvažuje použítii zákona o povstání z roku 1807 k obejití soudů, které blokují nasazení federálních sil v Portlandu. Co se tam děje, sice vůbec nenaplňuje znaky povstání, ale podle poradce Millera jsou prý povstáním rozhodnutí soudů blokující prezidenta. Fašismus na pochodu

So unbelievable I had to check to see if it was legit. It is. This is a recruitment video: the appeal is “YOU will block globalists from ever entering our country.”

Does that mean some goon will question me on free trade or the UN before I can enter? Or my non-citizen wife?

UPDATE: now DHS says "globalists" will be blocked "from ever entering our country."

@DHSgov
RECAPTURE OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY!
This week, we arrested hundreds of criminal illegal aliens, terrorists, and terrorist sympathizers across our country in Portland in Chicago.
Now, we need your help. Block communists, terrorists, and globalists from ever entering our country. Go to USCIS.GOV/JOIN

His language (“a violent armed resistance”) is getting worse by the day. It either is or — giving him the benefit of the doubt he hasn’t earned — seems to be designed to give the president the right to unleash “violence” in response, on US citizens and even a Trump-appointed judge.
