Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

TBT "Wrong Dude on the Thread" Moment

“We make Mexico a proposal of alliance …that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.”

German telegram to Mexico intercepted by British in January 1917--one more domino to fall as the US heads toward joining WWI.

TBT March 31, 1933: Chief Justice and Federal Judges banned by Nazis--Just two months after taking power, Hitler goes after judges--including the nation's Chief Justice who was born into a Jewish family, baptised as Protestant and supported Hitler.

He has great respect for Ukraine getting flattened too.

So disappointed in a man I’ve supported since he was in congress and came to events in the high school where I taught. Please retire now and have Gretch put in someone like you used to be.

Imagine you're a Republican.

You control the House, Senate & White House.

You spent 9 weeks sucking up to Elon Musk and gutting vital programs. Your "mandate," you said.

You draft a budget alone, without Democrats. Everyone hates it. Your own party can't pass it.

And now it's Democrats' fault? 🤡

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

TBT - June '54. "Have you no sense of decency, sir" -- the death knell for Joe McCarthy's witch hunt--a statement proudly echoed two days ago by @keating.house.gov who called out Keith Self's deliberate cruel misgendering of Rep. Sarah McBride--as the GOP yearns for its "Great Again" glory days.

In which Elon Musk calls a US Senator and former Navy Captain a traitor, because he wants peace and opposes a Putin victory in Ukraine.

This must mean Musk supports Putin ahead of democratically elected US officials, The US military, and NATO. You can draw no other logical conclusion.

TBT. May 1919 Treaty of Versailles. The US Congress chooses "America First" and to not to be a part of Wilson's new League of Nations--allowing France and England to severely cripple Germany and allow an angry voice from a beer hall to take over the government--paving the autobahn to WWII.

Helpful graphic:

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

TBT.

Opening day of WWII as the Germans claim self-defense and accuse Poland of starting it.

In those days the president chose not to believe such a ridiculous claim.
