Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

As we all learned in school, a bill becomes a law when the People’s Republic of China sends it to the U.S. President and he signs it.

I was on my way to a meeting when I heard ICE was at the Zipps on Central Ave. In the wake of the killing of Alex Pretti in Minnesota, ICE should cease these operations immediately. People are terrified, and this escalation is not making anyone safer.

It better not stop here. Dems better not use this as an excuse to bury their heads in the sand. ICE still needs to be abolished no matter who at the top gets replaced

I'm voting no on DHS funding.
Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American.
If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

After a certain point, it's irresponsible to just report what the administration is saying without pointing out that it's a blatant lie. I'm seeing lots of news channels just airing press conferences. Congratulations, you're a disinformation outlet now.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This is deranged. Trump is threatening to deploy our military, blow up the NATO alliance, & spend billions all because he didn't win a prize.
This man has control of our nuclear arsenal.
At what point will Republicans join us to stop him from putting our nation in harm's way?

This is why there’s a 25th Amendment. This is why Congress has the power to impeach and remove. This is why our government was designed the way it was.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)
