The court granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order — HALTING ANY FEDERALIZATION, RELOCATION, OR DEPLOYMENT of ANY GUARD MEMBERS TO OREGON FROM ANY STATE.

Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand.

P.S. As counter-intuitive as it may seem (because it is) laughter and humor during ugly, scary and dangerous times is the next best thing to real magic. I’ve always been my funniest…when the shit hits the fan. Drop the societal rules for appropriateness…and use it.

Agree, different types of satirical humor or laughing at something stupid I did can be helpful! 👍

Fight or flight mode, panic attacks are exhausting, and a person can only tolerate so much, I'm coming out of a semi frozen mode, and trying to gently go with it! Thankful for anxiety meds.! Ty!!

1/3 🧵I’ll tell you the most calming thing I know to tell you: all that horrible stuff you think about that Trump might do, that scares the shit out of you? Yeah. Go ahead and embrace the fact that a lot of it will probably happen. Why. 1st, it’s already happening…now. 2nd…

I'm seeing more and more people getting in the faces of magats, not taking their shit, and calling them out. Female professor and students chased a magat out of their classroom. A guy confronted a maga hat wearer for using food stamps to buy food in Oregon. Call out the hypocrisy if you see it!

I'm seeing more of it also, it's not usually the same way they do it, especially older people, more just quick, swift few words and hand gestures etc., I did it other day in that manner in mini mart, they are the rude ones that don't understand some people have injuries(my shoulders), he cowered😁

Ok, mutuals from other place..I'm not behind here am I?😁🤭🫣👋

She was right on! Trying to scroll way back and F.b others from other place! 🫣💙

Jane Goodall on Donald Trump: “I see the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another. They’re upright, they swagger, they project themselves as really more large and aggressive than they may actually be in order to intimidate their rivals.”

Invasion against the will of the people
Abuse of authority for political agenda
No emergency, no request, no Justice

Trump has no Immunity from unofficial acts
Others have none at all
Leaders should file legal cases & have more ready

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.

Agree!! Should be consequences, it's wrong and against the law!

How does a person take those off? what was added, ugh, tech. isn't my thing!!!🫣

It's horrific, every day it's worse!!! 🥺 If he would of been an actual problem they wouldn't of left! They're paying these jerks 50 k each to do this, absolutely inhumane and lawless!!

Diversity isn’t your strength? Hegseth's statement isn’t just ignorant, it’s an insult to every man and woman who’s ever bled in uniform for this country.

1 in 5 soldiers is Black. Nearly 1 in 5 is Hispanic. Over 200,000 women serve today. Diversity is America’s strength, racism is the weakness.

After a 2013 Supreme Court ruling weakened the most powerful part of the Voting Rights Act, the landmark law will face ANOTHER test before the court in two weeks. This time, it will decide whether to gut the law’s ability to prevent racial discrimination in voting.

There could be even less risk to Belgium if frozen Russian assets are sent to Ukraine in fixed increments. Courts could rule on the sent increment of the $300+ billion, lowering litigation risk.
