This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Pete Hegseth and Trump told military leaders they want U.S. cities treated as combat training grounds.

As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, Ted Cruz said the quiet part out loud: “Democrats need to stop attacking pedophiles.”

This is today’s GOP.

Scott Besset letting America get rolled.

We’re tossing Argentina a $20 Billion lifeline and they’re turning around and selling soybeans without tariffs to China.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

It’s still insane and disturbing to me that our troops went from being led by decorated 4-star Generals to a small disrespectful trashy idiotic Fox Propagandist rapist drunkard who installed a makeup area for himself at the Pentagon. Makes me sick every time I think about it.

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

👇🏽😳

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time?

BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

🧡Here's my newest pack filled with sizes of accounts. Some old friends and new. Today I'm remembering all the lives lost and deeply effected by residental schools as it's truth and reconciliation day here in canada
I will include some info in the comments about today. 🧡

You got that right 🫤

WTAF, NO!!!

Those are part of the Geneva Convention. They prevent the killing of the innocent and more

OMFG!!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social reports from Chicago: "Nothing about this city feels like a war zone—to use this city and others like it as a "training ground" is dangerously deranged."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

They need to fill up airtime. 24/7 “news” stations are part of the downfall of civilization.

The Libby app is one of the miracles of modern tech tbh

Trump turned Jimmy Kimmel into a hero for free speech.

He’s about to turn James Comey into a hero for standing up to vindictive political prosecution.

Mockler: I will only vote for the Democratic candidate that replaces Trump’s portraits with photos of him and Epstein.

🚨💔🚨 Nothing about this makes anything about this country decent, trustworthy, or honorable. This is depraved. 1/2
