Ignore the reality of the evidence of your own eyesโ€ฆsame as what we watched in real time as his criminal cult attacked the Capitol, rampaged through it, assaulted police, &threatened to kill the VP &legislators.

That fucker should have been dragged out of the White House in chains that very day.

Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties (Published 2009)

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Heโ€™s bought Kristi Noem luxury jets for ICE & DHS; theyโ€™ve got money for ICE but not so much for us, the people.

If you missed this yesterday, itโ€™s just as jaw-dropping a read today. The quotes are really something.

North Carolina Republicans announced today theyโ€™re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn

Millions came out for the last #NoKings protests.

These will be even bigger.

They want to scare people into not showing up.

Show up. Exercise your Constitutional rights. Be in community with all those who believe in democracy.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

He was also involved in a murder-for-hire.

Pardons with corrupt intent technically impeachable.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe.

People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway.

Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

Glad I was unable to donate, as your gutless refusal to endorse the Democratic votersโ€™ choice for New York City shows that you are a coward walking a line that says, โ€œI will be a collaborator with the fascists; I donโ€™t have any ethical fortitude.โ€

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social I tried to donate at your site; but, even after I noted that I was retired it wouldnโ€™t let me continue to the payment without putting in an employer.
Really bad site management.

Gifting your child a high-powered rifle is also an ideology. We just refuse to speak of it as such.

Antifa is not an organization.
And, being anti-fascist is an honorable thing. America actually became a world power due to its part in a war AGAINST fascism.

I post history because we need to remember that our best rules and institutions took generations to develop. We fought for decades for a nonpartisan civil service, independent regulatory agencies, safe food & drugs, voting equality, etc., etc.

And Trumpโ€™s blowing them up like they were nothing.

Again, a reminder that the law of the United States creates and names executive departments, not the president at any given time.

Damn straight. This is absolutely a war crime, an illegal act of murder.
Yet it is getting very little coverage by the corrupted corporate media.
