A group of protesters, some dressed in inflatable animal suits and other dressed as clowns. One of the protesters holds a sign that says, "Antifa Infantry." The protesters are being confronted by masked ICE agents in riot gear. One of the ICE agents is yelling, "OH GOD THEY'RE ATTACKING!" At the bottom is text that reads, "On the front lines of the Portland War Zone."

It needs to be removed from power asap. Midterm elections are too late. If they happen at all, they'll be rigged with National Guard, making it almost impossible for people in blue areas to reach polls and vote.

Trump floats invoking the Insurrection Act

The 1807 law, which allows the military to conduct civilian law enforcement activities under certain circumstances, hasn’t been used since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

At this point I wouldn"t be sad at all if the military couped this sack of rancid shit and removed him from power.

Thank God I live on the west coast where I was just able to walk into a pharmacy and just get the COVID vaccine without any anti-vaxxer BS: no questions about preexisting conditions, no need to pay a doctor for a prescription or consultation, just in and out nice and easy.

If the courts rule that the federal government can use the U.S. military to occupy U.S. cities any time they claim "crime," then there needs to be open revolt across the country.

If you're in the military, it's time to decide if you're going to side with the people, or if you're gonna side with the wannabe dictator and spend the rest of your life in a cage for high treason.

Justine @utopianwitchcraft.bsky.social · 8d

Trump is a treasonous wannabe dictator who needs to be arrested, caged, and denied cheeseburgers for the rest of his pathetic life.

Republiklans are trashy little babies. They have majorities in both Houses and they still want to blame "tHe lEfTiSt dEmOCrAtS!!!!" for their complete inability to function and govern.

Mike Johnson is shouting on social media, the news, & to anyone who will listen that "it's all the democrat's fault"...yet he has literally canceled votes & locked the doors to the house chambers.

It'd be great if the gop could manage to grow the fuck up & stop coddling fascism.

Anyone listening to the most condescending, narcissistic, dimentia-laden speech ever given by a U.S. President?

Tomorrow will be the third day since Charlie Kirk died. Who thinks he's gonna rise from the grave as the second coming of white Jesus?

Waiting for far right, christo-fash to explain why their God ignored all the thoughts and prayers for Charlie Kirk.

There is no hatred quite as virulent, as pervasive, and as proud of itself as Christian Love.

If you still hold the nonsense and dangerous belief that the U.S. military would NEVER attack the people of its own nation, then I recommend examining and shedding the bubble you've created around yourself.
