Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

Nope.

I thought I gifted it. Please let me know if you can read it!

Opinion | They Don’t Tell You How Fun the Resistance Can Be

This is an incredibly moving article, written by a dad, about what everyday people (white-knowingly taking advantage of their privilege) are doing in Minneapolis to be a part of the resistance and protect their neighbors. We should all take note.

"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

It’s being reported that she was detained on her phone taken. I’ll have to try to find links.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,". -this was written in 1791 and among all the interpretations; it was to prevent tyranny!

They’re saying he had a gun. Even if he did, so what. Minnesota has open and concealed carry laws. Fuck these Nazis.

Happening right now! 🤬

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I’m actually surprised CNN is!

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

And mainstream media just goes along with the lies.

They do not give a fuck. Disgusting.

Right?!

A news-style graphic with a dark background featuring a headline, a central photograph, and a quote. The top text reads: "The Independent: Minnesota sues Trump administration over ‘unprecedented’ surge in immigration agents that has ‘terrorized’ Minneapolis." The central photograph shows a chaotic scene on a street. An individual in tactical gear with a "FEDERAL OFFICER BUREAU OF PRISONS" patch is spraying a substance toward a person holding up a red-and-blue shield. A dark sedan sits between them in the middle of the street. The bottom text is a quote from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison: "People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted. Schools have gone into lockdown... This federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end." A small source line at the bottom attributes the headline to The Independent (2026) and the photo to Getty Images.

BREAKING: Minnesota officials are fighting back against Trump's ICE raids.

This is gross. Also, I understand resigning, but it also makes me worried that there will be no “good guys” left.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".

They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.

There is nothing "lawful" about it.

ICE aren’t police, they are a terrorist group who take orders from a criminal traitor.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

See? It's not about stealing Venezuela's oil.

It's about Donald Trump getting rich off that stolen oil.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

The appropriate Democratic response is that the president is out of control.

You don’t need to repeat his Maduro talking points. Stop being pussies.

I wish he’d just fall over.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Trump has run the United States into the ground and now he thinks he can run Venezuela?!

I can’t listen. Thank you.
