As @marcelias.bsky.social notes, we must take seriously a White House occupant who is threatening our fellow citizens.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 19h

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

One official week into the shutdown and Republican lawmakers are taking heat back home. Voters are outraged at the GOP trifecta’s choice to shut down the government instead of extending tax credits that help everyday people afford health insurance.

Portland Is Not Burning To The Ground. Chicago Is Not A War Zone. So Why Is Trump Lying: He’s trying to send troops to both Chicago and Portland as he continues his militarization of this country. It’s wrong, it’s unconstitutional, it’s un-American, but why is he doing it? Why? We all need to brace…

Portland Is Not Burning To The Ground. Chicago Is Not A War Zone. So Why Is Trump Lying

He’s trying to send troops to both Chicago and Portland as he continues his militarization of this country. It’s wrong, it’s unconstitutional, it’s un-American, but why is he doing it? Why? We all need to brace ourselves for the scary, ugly truth. Unlike January 6th, we can’t be caught off guard or surprised again.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Donald Trump is trying to create a police state. In this country. In America. Fuck that. Trump is trying to turn America into a police state. Most Americans will not accept that. Most Americans will not live in a police state. No fucking way.

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.
