Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it.

Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

I’ve been waiting for them to start talking about trying to stop the planned 10/18 protests.

Americans - if you are inclined to and able to, get out to a protest on 10/18. Peacefully exercise your Constitutional rights, to speak, to assemble, to seek redress of grievances, to live as free people.

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads:
“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.
South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

Of course, alt-rights in the comments of the news story shouting about what makes a Christian and Christian.

I went to Bible College, does that make me Christian enough for you?

In this political climate, it’s pretty tough to get the majority of Americans to agree on ANYTHING. Well, here you have it, folks.

78% of Americans support extending the enhanced ACA tax credits and providing much-needed relief for our neighbors struggling to afford health care.

Matthew 25:31-46 is a sparkling example showing how Christian Nationalists have strayed so far away from the teachings of Christ.

Then they wonder why so many people are leaving the Church.

Can we call it a brain drain if we aren’t even attracting students?

You know there was a brain drain that started as the Nazi party was gaining political power.

Fascists will spin it to calm their own followers while the rest of us see the truth.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

A mock newspaper headline reads "BREAKING NEWS" from "ReallyGreatSite.com," dated Sunday, December 20, 2055.

Text of the fourth amendment “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
