The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.
Rep. Byron Donalds: "These agitators -- who by the way are paid, folks. America, they are paid to do this kind of mess."

Sure donald trump sent a goon squad who just murdered a peaceful protester and has unlawfully impounded health and human services funds, farm aid, and snap benefits, because he thinks it will hurt your governor politically, but does immiserating millions of minnesotans really call for coarse words?

Many interesting statements have been falsely attributed to Winston Churchill, and I used one of them as an epigraph of my book, “The Incomplete Book of Running:”

“When you’re going through hell… keep going.”

Keep going, everyone. And Happy New Year!

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Nothing in ICE’s tweet contradicts anything in my thread. The guy had traffic violations from “years ago”. That does not make him a criminal. ICE does not even try to rebut the other facts bsky.app/profile/davi...
ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....
