Trump and Elon's whole march and baiting of government workers will leave illness and a mess that will take years or decades to mend. Nobody should have to go through this.

Lord of Flies, indeed.

Fools on a beach, serving food. Drumph with crap-covered bills, and Melon with a bottle of poison. The public and members of government look on, unsure of what to make of this spectacle.

Katie Phang and Avi Asher-Schapiro cover the history and background of the Homann bribes.

You know ICE. Well surely you also know the Border Czar. The one that took loads of money, while Bondi tried clumsily to dodge answering.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

37 states have passed legislation specifically granting sales tax exemptions for data centers.

Among the beneficiaries of these exemptions are Amazon, Meta and Google, all companies worth over $1 trillion.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Yet,who do we see currently in the leadership positions of America? Is this the America you want?

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Canadian opinion, fwiw.

All the violence from ICE and national guard troops in Democrat cities will normalize how American troops will treat Canadians when they make a move.

Doubtful we will be able to get any help from US citizens who would normally be appalled.

This country would be a lot better off if we didn’t have chain stores and fast food and instead had mom and pop businesses that kept money in a community and gave every town and city its own unique flare. But every city looks like the next and all the money goes to Wall Street banks.

From @thebulwark.com , Trump is turning ICE and the National Guard into his personal militia

"Trump sees an absence of cops in the street" ... And he sees it as Antifa apparently running amok (in his mind)

Trump is building his own permission structure.

The name of the game, as it ever has been, is organize!

All authoritarianism is built upon an acceptance of the state's power. Do not accept it.

March, potentially alongside people you may disagree with.

Bring everyone you can. Hold and grow the line.

We'll beat these bastards.

nokings.org
Text reading: Those who oppose authoritarianism have to play a different game, creating solidarity among an unwieldy coalition, which knows that if everyone holds together, they will surely succeed. This too can become a self reinforcing set of expectations - but only if the coalition's members resist the threats and promises of those who are trying to break it.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

There is no left-wing violence in Chicago or Portland. It simply is not happening.

It's so not happening, in fact, that Republicans in Oregon took footage from two South American countries to create a hoax photo about Portland.

They have no actual violent footage to put forward.

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.
