Are voters fed up with republicans? Let’s blame all elected right wing conservatives for the direction of our country.

In Fairbanks, Alaska, Democrat Mindy O’Neal received 54% of the vote. Apparently, more Americans want democracy.

Be strong, speak out, vote!

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Without travel authorizations, those DHS pussies at CBP and ICE don’t have TDY budgets or per diem

We will never back down.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 22h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Enough for Congress to act?

Every single Surgeon General since GW Bush’s warns Americans about the danger of Bob Jr.

Six former Surgeon Generals highlight RFK Jr’s lack of medical experience as a major red flag while speaking up for the future of America.

Shaken to the core; I am exasperated this doesn’t receive enough attention or dialogue and won’t until it’s too late. We need opposition leaders now, more than ever

Sounds like @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social needs to hold a press conference and make an official public request to be sworn in because this worthless asshole needs a formal invitation

Title 10 of the U.S. Code DOES NOT grant ANY president “Plenary Authority”

Nowhere in the framework of American documentation are we okay with authoritarian dictatorships. For the Epsteinth time, we are witnessing a serious power grab from republicans.

Anybody doing enough?
Anyone? Bueller?

Confirmation from our federal government that the Jeffrey Epstein files includes photographs of the U.S. president half-naked with ‘young women’

‘Young Women’ is the media code word for underaged girls, softer than ‘children.’

White Jesus has a lot in common with the Prophet Muhammad. Disgusting!
