"The Insurrection Act has been used by 48 Presidents..." DJT
FACT: The act has been invoked by fifteen Presidents and illegally by one Army general in response to 30 incidents, the latest of which was the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act (again). What is it?
As protests grow over violent ICE enforcement actions in Minneapolis, the president said he could invoke a centuries-old law that would give him sweeping powers to deploy the military in U.S. cities.

On Thursday, Karoline Leavitt delivered an hour of propaganda worthy of a bad sketch, almost choking as she accused peaceful protesters of being agitators for flipping off ICE, while Trump himself had just insulted a Ford worker by calling him “F-you,” giving him the middle finge.

Heather Cox Richardson says the violence is finally waking up white Americans who thought it wouldn’t reach them. It will get worse—but it’s not inevitable they'll win. Authoritarian regimes fall when people refuse them. We can still stop this.

Ignoring negative people is far easier said than done, especially if you've survived abuse.
The more you can separate yourself from those who constantly spew negative energy the better off you'll be.

Trump wants to make America tremble, turn Minnesota into an example, and muzzle every dissenting voice. He dreams of a nation complicit and apathetic in the face of his abuses. As he fails, he waves the Insurrection Act, convinced that fear will serve him better than justice.

ICE fired a so-called “less-lethal” round & destroyed a 21-year-old activist’s eye, fracturing their skull. Doctors removed a nickel-sized piece of plastic; metal & glass were embedded in the skull.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
