I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

If Trump really wants to help Iranians, then instead of threatening to bomb them, he should remove the sanctions that caused the protests in the first place.

See it for what it is. Stop believing the bullshit that the people you claim you hate want you to believe.

Think. For. Yourself.

American citizens, most of whom have no formal weapons training, are being forced to stand up against armed masked men with at least some weapons training and the federal authority to shoot at will.

The military swore an oath to protect against domestic enemies.

Where the fuck is the military?

OUR GOVERNMENT IS WARNING AMERICANS NOT TO GO TO VENEZUELA BECAUSE THEY RISK "WRONGFUL DETENTION, KIDNAPPING, AND ARBITRARY ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS." HOW THE FUCK IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM HOW ICE THUGS ARE GOING APE-SHIT RIGHT HERE? THANK YOU FOR READING MY LATEST ANGRY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/49xwlHh

Can anyone explain to me why it’s ok to bomb Iran because the government is cracking down on protesters but it’s “terrorism when US citizens protest their own government? Can anyone make this make sense?

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

According to MAGA, Renee Good, just sitting in her car, is a domestic terrorist, but Kyle Rittenhouse, shooting strangers in the street with an assault weapon, is not.

These people are such shameless, twisted liars.

The President's powers come from the Constitution and Congress. There's no third source.

If neither grant a power—and, more importantly, if either prohibit it—then the President doesn't have it. Full stop.
