I am sure people feel helpless against this fascist government even with 11 million weapons. The fear of escalating violence from the state and Marshall Law. However we are many and they are few. A general strike would bring this government to its knees. It's about time we broke our chains.

When we flip Congress, another thing we need to put on the to-do list to demand is that Congress removes immunity from law enforcement officers. They need to be held accountable. And if their actions are lawful, they have nothing to worry about it.

ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.

Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.

We must never become numb to his cruelty.

Your regular reminder that ~90% of the lawless authoritarianism could end today, simply by these Senators & about 7 other people in Congress caucusing with the Democrats & giving them governing majorities in both chambers until the crimes & fascism stop.
Todd Young has voted YES on the Venezuela war powers resolution; Murkowski, Collins and Paul are a YES. This will have the simple-majority vote needed to pass unless one or more Democrats vote NO.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

The only thing worth hearing from a Democrat right now is an absolute assurance that, when they retake the U.S. government, they will prosecute every single member of the American military who knowingly followed an illegal order.

Make it clear people will be going to prison.

Dear US Military -

It is beyond clear that this president and many in the administration are actively acting against their paths to the Constitution and the interests of our nation.

It is time for an intervention.

Please. We need some breathing room.

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

Trump is not strong, his opposition are simply all miserable cowards on the take. If this were another time when the American people weren't weak kneed and paper trained, they'd all be swinging right now.

When Trump is gone, the world will still never look at us the same way again. They will know that another Trump may be only another four short years away. We did this to ourselves.

The 5th anniversary of the 4,978th occurrence of undeniable evidence — and the clearest one up to that point — that Trump is 100% a piece of shit and should be in a prison cell, not the White House.
It's been 5 years since Donald Trump sent a violent mob to attack our nation's Capitol. Donald Trump has done everything he can to try to rewrite the history of that day, even letting the 1500 insurrectionists, including those who senselessly beat cops, off scot-free. (1/3)

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

I’m not sure I believe that there is literally only one US political party, they do work in collusion, and one thing they do is to make the electorate feel powerless to do anything except vote.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?
