CLARKSVILLE: @RepMarkGreen can’t show up for a free & open town hall but he can charge $500-$3500 to have coffee with him at a country club Friday? He knows a majority of his constituents can’t afford that. Who does he represent? 🤔

Does that make you feel safer in America?

Presented with evidence that innocent people who are not members of any gang were wrongly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador, Homan flatly insists that all of them were in fact gang members (but he's unwilling to detail any evidence showing it)

Donald Trump's actions are meant to intimidate opponents into fearing that resistance is futile. But in fact, Trump is a weak person who will humiliate himself through pursuing idiotic ideas and fealty to unpopular oligarchs like Elon Musk. Vigorous opposition works, @jtccarroll.bsky.social notes
Trump and his allies threaten America as we know it, but they are acting from a position of weakness, not strength
A closer look at the goals of Trumpism can help us get perspective and devise strategies that aim straight at its vulnerabilities

You guys, we are living through a coup 2.0. Except this time it looks like it will be successful, and a puerile, right-wing billionaire, not even POTUS, is going to be in charge of the U.S. Treasury, government personnel, and basically all of our personal data.
