They don't have enough people with big enough balls or stupidity to invade Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love doesn't play nice with others. Let alone racist assholes who want to invade them. Invading Philly would put an end to all this bullshit though

Now we just have to wait for him to pick another city maybe it'll be Philadelphia maybe it'll be New York maybe it'll be Miami

I would think it'll be the state of Texas then again it'll be the entire country sooner much sooner than later 🤦🤦🤦😔

One way to understand what’s happening right now: the American people are ready, willing and able to resist authoritarianism.

But, very few of the institutions meant to represent us—from the political system, to the Democratic Party, to civil society organizations—are able to mount a resistance.

Looking forward to the federal takeover of Tusla, Oklahoma's police department.

“Seeking friendlier data”? Seriously, NYT?

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Could it be that the WHOLE country is more violent since trumpism? Could it be that it has worsened since Jan 6th was a violent attempted coup including violence against police? Hitler used Joseph Goebbels as his Minister of propaganda. He vilified people and used fear as manipulation.

Martial law over homeless people or black teens is cool, but "if they're great patriots who are trying to overthrow the United States government, well, hold on now." You can call it fascism.

@jvl.bsky.social, @samsteindc.bsky.social, and @samsteindc.bsky.social talk Trump's D.C. press conference:

#USDemocracy
Protesters are flooding DC streets to demand two things: that the National Guard be recalled and that the Epstein files be released.

We stand with you, DC!

So many choices…

What say you?!

Trump logic:

I joined @kairyssdal.bsky.social at the top of today’s @marketplace.org:

Oh Jesus Christ.

CNN host right now asks Rep. Jamie Raskin, "We know that statistics show crime is down in DC. But does it 'feel' like crime is down?"

Raskin: "Oh, definitely, if you compare it to other periods in DC." (He grew up there, and knows.) But obvs still a problem.

FYI it's Kasie Hunt.

Hotel occupancy rates in Las Vegas have declined to approximately 66.7% in July compared to the same period last year, per NYP

A new message from Canadians to Trump:
#BoycottUSA is a permanent thing. #TrumpTariffs

The silence of the United States media on the murder of Al Jazeera journalists in a targeted attack by Netanyahu & the IDF speaks to the lack of integrity that now pervades our media. To date, Netanyahu & the IDF have murdered over 200 journalists & their families. The cowardice is telling

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences.

The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.

“I think my meeting with Putin will be good, but it might be bad.”

Yes, and water is wet. Thanks Einstein.

They're starving children to death. Murdering journalists is par for the course.

It’ll never not be insane that a rapist fraudster treasonous convicted felon with 34 felonies was given full totalitarian power of the govt whilst he complains about crime when he’s an actual criminal.

To be clear: he doesn’t care about crime, he cares about control. He’s a convicted felon. And if he cared about crime he would’ve deployed the National Guard on January 6th.

This is all about him. Like everything else.

As IRS allows churches to endorse candidates, Texas pastors may gain political power While the IRS move applies across the country, Texas — with more than 200 megachurches — will be the epicenter for pastors and congregations to test out their new influence, one expert said. By �
