things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny

- health care subsidies
- seeing pronouns in an email
- being suspended from a social media platform
- pride month
- baking a cake for a same sex wedding
- legal rulings against donald trump
- EV benchmarks
Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Hate speech—regardless of what the Trump administration thinks that means—is protected by the First Amendment.

Bondi can’t prosecute people for expressing views she dislikes. And ICE can’t deport US citizens like Good.
They want you to "quit demonstrating"
Trump's second-term crackdown on dissent started with pro-Palestinian activists. It didn’t end there.

What is the Trump-Vance admin hiding? Why do they continue to block members of Congress from accessing ICE facilities?

The answer is clear: what ICE is doing is harmful, and this admin does not want checks and balances.

We look forward to seeking answers in court.
Over the weekend, three Minnesota members of Congress were denied access to an ICE detention center in their state.

So today, we’re back in court to again challenge the Trump-Vance admin’s outrageous policy blocking members from conducting oversight of ICE facilities.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation.

The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America.

In all my years, I've never seen anything like it. (ft. W. Kamau Bell)

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

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.
