Some thoughts on the “constitutional crisis” of Trump inevitably defying Supreme Court orders, and thereby undermining the constitution’s separation of powers.

The Disappeared

🚨In this video, we review how 238 Venezuelan men—most with no criminal record—were forcibly disappeared by the US to El Salvador without due process, triggering Black Saturday—an ongoing constitutional crisis marked by rights violations.

Freedom is never free.

Vigilance and resolve are needed.

Apathy and acquiescence are a fatal combination for democracy.

Authoritarianism is happening here.

Unchallenged, it will only deepen and broaden until freedom becomes a nostalgic remembrance, if we're fortunate.

I’m the dairy farmer running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

The moral arc . . .
We are so far removed from Roosevelt's Four Freedoms.

Rockwell's iconic paintings were meant to depict these inclusive, universal values for a nation at war.

Sadly, today, too many view this body of work as a literal interpretation, exclusive to those represented herein, and reject its idealism.

An extemporaneous response regarding martial law. 👇
I was surprised that it didn't happen the last time in some manner or fashion. This time I anticipate it but not for a couple years.

Declaration of drug cartels & some gangs as foreign terrorist organizations was foreboding.

I view the above as setting the stage to invoke the Posse Comitatus Act.

Resistance is inconvenient.

And it might interfere with Schumer's book tour schedule - really, a book tour starting this Monday. 👇

Self-serving defender of democracy and the Constitution.

His position as Minority Leader needs to be challenged, soonest.

I'd like to see Senator Kelly step up.

Here's the real leadership in the Democratic Party, and its future, if we're to have one. 👇
Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

Zebulon Pike, crossing the Southern Plains in 1806, described herds of bison that "exceeded imagination."

Domestic terrorism only if your survival was dependent on the bison. Otherwise, it was greed and of no consequence to your continued existence.

Hope we fare well with our DOI and EPA leaders.
🦬 Let us not forget who the real terrorists are.

Here's what real leadership in the House of Representatives & the Democratic Party looks like. The party must be proactive & take the fight to them. Current leadership has floundered & looked frail in a purely reactive mode to Republicans.

It's time to pass the torch to her & her contemporaries. 👇

Representative Golden, with all due respect, "cynical GOP political tactics" is specious, at best, when you characterize an undeniable rise of autocracy & destruction of democracy & the USG.
For a relevant historical reference, we know Quisling-like support of a neo-Vichy government is appalling.
🧵I just voted to pass a Continuing Resolution and avoid a government shutdown. Here's a short thread to explain why:

AI will expedite America devolving into a plutocracy as the USG is dismantled and democracy is rendered inoperable.

We'll be governed within a fascist theocracy led by a malignant, narcissistic autocrat.

That's my optimistic spin. ☝️

It's much, much later than you think. 👇

America's Foreign Aid, today: 👇

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

This number is good for the Senate & House of Representatives.

Nothing will change and continue to deteriorate here & abroad, if you don't make your voice heard.

Doom scrolling here isn't enough.
This is what “US stopping intelligence sharing” meant for Ukraine.

It is just one of the examples from the past week.
March 10, 2025 at 1:12 PM
Yes, America voted for this.

Now, what are you going to do about it?

Is it worth 5 minutes a day to call your Senators and Representative?

Sadly, most folks are too "busy" or disinterested (or brainwashed) to make the effort.

Sleep well, America, while you can.
North Korea's troops have reportedly crossed into Ukraine for the first time. Trump has ordered that F-16 jamming devices used by Ukraine be disabled to make them vulnerable to Russia. Russia has increased its attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, including the use of cluster munitions.
