AMERICA IS
UNDER-REACTING TO THIS:
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.
Then shut up until you have that attorney present. You cannot invoke your right to silence just by being silent. You have to say the words.
Reminder that if you are interacting with law enforcement in Illinois, this IS a stop and ID state. Also, aside from identifying yourself and asking if you're free to leave, the ONLY thing you should say to law enforcement, state or federal, is:

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.
Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.
Itβs illegal and un-American.
MAJOR BREAKING: In a late-night order, Judge Immergut, a Trump-appointee, has BLOCKED Trump from deploying the National Guard from ANY state or D.C. into Oregon.

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply canβt feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.
Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.
Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

They want the mandate but not the accountability.
That's not leadership.
π¨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power.
REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Stephen Miller's fervent push to unleash federal troops on Portland's streets reeks of a despot's playbook, where "law and order" masks brutal suppression of dissent, cloaked in patriotic hypocrisy. #PortlandProtests

Granted, if there's less federal government, and those resources are occupied targeting so-called "insurrectionists," then there are less resources left to properly administer accountability.

But, they're also using it as an excuse to dismantle the federal government.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
This statement is a clear example of what is known as βState Terrorismβ: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
