Stacey Abrams explaining again what is happening in the country. Day by day we are watching the takeover of this nation. Everyone needs to resist, every business, every college, every home that gets it. We must not bend America‼️
@anneapplebaum.bsky.social with the context and stakes of America’s tragic, self-inflicted plummet…
This is again why every press conference someone should ask him a basic question. “How does a bill become law?” “What is the average household income in the US?” “How many Americans rely on the ACA?” “What does the first amendment cover?”
Imagine reading this insane headline in our prosperous America ten years ago: “[President] Trump calls for jailing Democratic leaders as troops prepare for Chicago deployment”
I still want to know where the professed Libertarians are in this picture. They are finally being tread on and have nothing to say.
These monsters
We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.
I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.
As @jamellebouie.net says, this is the whole, previously unfathomable story.
the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I have to read things like this twice because my brain doesn’t process the inhumanity the first time.
He said it more eloquently than I: this is literally what the 1st Amendment is for.
My grandfather was a WWII vet and lifelong farmer in tough country. In a town of 15 people, he read the papers daily and followed politics. Told me he had never seen prosperity with R president + R Congress. Did deals by handshake. He could take one look at DT and know he’s a dishonest scoundrel.
It is truly insane watching real life deadly chaos stemming from one irreparably damaged man/ego.
One surprisingly refreshing thing in watching this is how dramatically older/slower he is now. Tick tick
Trump's History of Violence (2016-2020)
Y’all, we are unleashing gangs of masked thugs that now have the Supreme Court’s blessing to grab any brown or Spanish-speaking person off the street and disappear them. No warrants, no IDs, no paper trail.
Next year’s budget for this triples.
The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

Where are the libertarians, who will surely be up in arms that masked men can hassle private citizens perpetually, based on their job or appearance or what they say?
How is this America??
As we sink deeper, the examples only grow more stark. Tell your friends.
Secret admission: I almost like it when things get this obscene. I think it’s because there’s not even a hint of grey area left. Like, I’d have a hard time thinking of a *potential* lower point of the office of the president.
