Finally, a clear message explaining what’s worth fighting for against Trump Republicans and their cruel, sociopathic cuts.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

“This is where we are. Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies.”

They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

There are lots of cultists who actually believe Trump’s lie that he’s deploying the military because he wants to stop crime.

“Trump can keep condemning Dems as ‘the enemy within’& lie about rising violence…The question is whether judges will continue to fearlessly stand up for the rule of law & Democratic governors will continue to stand up for their states’ people and sovereignty.”

"Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country...It's hard to overstate how perilous this moment is as Dem governors must decide how they will respond to Trump’s unrelenting efforts to stoke more violence and seize more power." www.americaamerica.news/p/stephen-mi...

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.

Notice how this propagandist uses “terrorism” language to push hateful plot.

Barb McQuade @barbmcquade.bsky.social · 2d

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

We are in this mess because Donald Trump is a hateful bigot, narcissist and sadist who can’t stand the fact that most people can’t stand him so he needs to mete out retribution to punish all those who hate him for who and what he is. That…and millions who cheer on his hateful ways. What a world.

Noem & Rubio “deliberately & with purposeful afterthought” sought “intentionally to chill the rights of freedom of speech & peacefully to assemble.”The judge’s view tells us with utter clarity their level of hostility to our beloved country & the Constitution.
