As @brooklynmarie.bsky.social often says.

Borders aren't just for keeping people out.

They can also be used to trap people within.

🤣

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Does he carry those books around so people think he's smart?

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

I'm so pissed about this in general, but personally I have 2 students at U of A...I bet UA caves and signs the blackmail "pact", they received it 10/1. It's complete BS and I don't want to continue supporting them with tuition if they are going to give in... we'll see😠

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The ruling itself is remarkable, but it closes with something I've never seen: a 12-page assessment of Trump himself as an ignorant bully, braggart and threat to free speech and the republic writ-large. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here’s my cliff notes summary of Pete Hegseth’s big military address today

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"

Trump blames Democrats for “violence” while unleashing untrained thugs who drop their guns, aim at bystanders for filming, and terrorize immigrants just trying to work. These Gestapo tactics must end.

This was in Maryland.

😕🇺🇸

Another outrageous proposal regarding this racist.

They can't win unless they cheat

Abolish ICE.

Take 30 minutes and watch my analysis of how and why Donald Trump is escalating his authoritarian crackdown on thought, dissent, media and organizations.

Then share it with others. youtu.be/4kKtGgh3l5I

Perhaps we can all make a point to share?

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Yesterday, Air Force One: Trump said the quiet part out loud…

He threatened to yank broadcast licenses from networks that criticize him.

“They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree.

Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist."

Just like that, we lost America.

Disney's ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after FCC chair criticizes the host's Charlie Kirk comments The network confirmed to NBC News it is "indefinitely" pulling the show.

Trump admin doesn’t want anyone to hear what Jimmy Kimmel said:

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said

Holy cow. I forgot about this.

Congress should hold him in contempt. He is accountable to THEM as much as the president ,they should not let him spew lie after lie!!! They let him go on and on showboating. Shameful

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.
