Well that's about in point

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

Trump approves mining road, delivers $70 million windfall to MAGA billionaire On April 6, 2024, a procession of Range Rovers, Aston Martins, and Bentleys rolled up to the Palm Beach mansion of billionaire John Paulson. The occasion was a glitzy fundraiser for Donald Trump’s pre...

Trump’s billionaire buddy threw him a $50M fundraiser.

Trump approved construction of a road for his mining company in Alaska, endangering wildlife and harming indigenous communities.

This is happening out in the open. Imagine the corruption we don’t see

This needs to be stopped. Immediately.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

And this is how Noem's DHS is playing things with made-for-tv moments created by goons with gas.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Weak spineless thug.
These brown shirts are pathetic and will eventually learn the cost of supporting fascism.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree. Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

If you ever find yourself zip tying a child's hands I wanna be really clear with you on what this says about you. You're not one of the "good guys." You're the problem. Your soul is rotten. Your intentions are evil. And whoever is above you telling you to do this is the pure embodiment of evil.

Greg Abbott sends the elite Meal Team 6 from the Texas National Guard into Illinois.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Not only does the language of proposition 50 expressly state that redistricting powers return to the Citizens Redistricting Commission after the next census (2031), but it also appeals directly to Congress to make independent nonpartisan districting federal law.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

More people should wear funny costumes at anti-ICE protests. If we're going to live in a very weird, very stupid reality, it should at least be hilarious

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Tax me 50%; tax the asshole dragons making x-times more than I make in a year 50%; let's build a society where we don't need to claw each other to death over false scarcity.

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.
