Letterhead:
β€œSecretary of War”

Directing National Guard from one state to invade another.

Whether they asked for it or not. (Indeed, they’ve resisted.)

Fascism yet? Still wondering?

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forcesβ€”from any state or DCβ€”to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

I can't stress enough that this really is what's happening and yet the impacts are still quite real.

Again, if you think the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947 had anything to do with β€œwoke” politics you should not be allowed to operate a car much less the entire American military.

I’m not all that plugged into the ongoing dispute btw those users who are angry that Jesse Singal is not banned, vs. Bluesky CEO Jay Graber

But I will say this: even a casual observer can see that for a CEO to troll & belittle the user base is below the bar of leadership

Do better, @jay.bsky.team

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

"fired tear gas, flash-bang grenades and pepper balls without any clear signs of provocation"

literally making propaganda videos to justify the military deployment for the regime - declare Portland "war ravaged" then attack protestors to create videos that depict conflict and chaos

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

The subtext here is clear:

β€œWE own this country (club). It’s ours β€” not yours. Yet we were nice enough to make an exception for you (even tho you are a woman, and Black), and we *allowed* you to have success. It was a gift *from us.* And you lack gratitude for our generosity…

Remember your place.”

I absolutely adore videos like this.

We need a lot more content devoted to mocking him.

Seriously, imagine how different the world would feel if we had media saturation with videos like this, every day?

One can dream…
