LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE DESPERATELY RUNNING 26 MILES, 385 YARDS TO ESCAPE A WAR ZONE
One of three Tennessee lawmakers who drew national attention in 2023 when Republicans in the Tennessee Legislature moved to expel them following a gun control protest is running for Congress, he announced Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3IEravT

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head.
@kevinhfoster.bsky.social recently visited the ICE facility and spoke with people there and across Portland—and the reality of what is happening on the streets is very different than what the administration wishes to portray.
"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
📽️ VIDEO: Republicans who resisted Donald Trump after years of enabling him are not heroes and do not deserve credit. Marc Elias emphasizes that framing them as such ultimately serves Trump's agenda.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.
MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets.
They are wrong.
Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.
Apple, you too??? Grow a pair. Unacceptable. #Apple #ICEBlock
the only organized terrorism is the Republican party
TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.
Abolish ICE…
Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.
Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”
The men kneeling on this peaceful protester are not ICE. The reality is that the sheer number of people in a city like Chicago means that without the state assisting in its own occupation, these “operations” could not succeed. Which certainly begs the question of who serves whom.
my cousin had the family over tonight for a party whose theme was “everyone make a cake and then we will sit around in the backyard and try all the cakes” and honestly like, we should do this once a month

Even a Trump loyalist has voiced his displeasure with some of Hegseth’s decisions, particularly his rollout of Trump’s “America First, Peace Through Strength” National Defense Strategy.
The initial draft for the strategy was met with widespread disapproval, which is rare. trib.al/1EtcZr3
FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to illegal immigrants.
📽️A MUST watch from Marc Elias: It's easy to disengage with the constant stream of bad news flowing out from the Trump administration. But when we become immune — when we stop being outraged — our democracy crumbles.
