Someday these ICE thugs will be brought up on criminal charges and receive the justice they deserve.

Texas National Guard troops arrive in Illinois over leadersโ€™ objections The arrival of Texas National Guard troops came ahead of a Thursday hearing in Illinoisโ€™s lawsuit seeking to stop the Trump administration from deploying into the state.

As usual, Greg Abbott is an eager accomplice to Trump's wrongdoing. The illegal deployment of US troops against US citizens has never been about crime or immigration; Trump only wants to normalize the misuse of our military against his opponents.

Our Texas Guard should be serving Texans, not Trump.

Itโ€™s time to use the f-word. Trumpism is fascism.

The essence of fascism is in place. See the list ๐Ÿ‘‡

All thatโ€™s needed to complete the fascist ascent are;
- territorial aggression
- the concentration of power in one individual or tight cabal.

And these are emerging by the day

The election was rigged for Trump. Does this REALLY come as a surprise to anyone? What comes as a surprise is that Democrats did nothing about it: no demand for a recount, no checking the integrity of the voting machines, no outcry about anything. The Republicans would have burned this country down.

At Oversight Hearing, AG Bondi Responds to Questions With Attacks Instead of Answers At Oversight Hearing, AG Bondi Responds to Questions With Attacks Instead of Answers

At a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi hurled insults at Democrats in response to their questions about the stark politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) since she took office. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Y'all, Trump is waging war against the United States. This is Treason.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers โ€˜It seems like cruelty is the point,โ€™ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

I'm not sure it does anything, to be honest. But I'm not tired of protesting against Trump and I never will be. We must be true to ourselves and not worry about what other people do. We must know that we have done everything in our power to stop a dictator before it's too late.

Republican lies aren't meant for us. Republican lies are meant for their idiot base. If we ever get the truth to Trump's idiot MAGA base, it's over for Trump. That's precisely why he's trying to protect himself from the Epstein Files.

If so, that means we would need about 11,550,000 Americans engaged in sustained resistance. Roughly 3.5% of America's population of 330 million people. I'm one of them. I know we have several million. How many do we have right now? How many more do we need?

A serious study from a Harvard University political scientist presents a statistic worth remembering: Around the world, once 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained, non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has always happened.Democracy is inevitable, when the people are determined.

Trump keeps inciting our military to kill Democrats. It could not be clearer what Trump intends to do to Democrats and blue states. If this isn't clear to everyone, perhaps I could draw you a picture.
