Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.
Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Re-upping this today on the fifth anniversary of the January 6 insurrection which Donald Trump incited. He is the insurrectionist-in-chief, who is disqualified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from holding public office and who must now be impeached and removed. @fsfp.bsky.social
Thank you @deanobeidallah.bsky.social. We either have a Constitution or we do not. Under the constitutional mandate of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, Donald Trump will be an illegitimate president. He is an adjudicated insurrectionist and is disqualified. @fsfp.bsky.social
Constitutional Law expert: Trump will be an “illegitimate” President given he's barred from office by Section 3 of 14th Amendment. Thus, Every action Trump takes will be legally invalid.

Yeah except that the oil leases in Iraq were controlled by China. We knew this at the time, we were never getting the oil and this was the massive lie.
All to keep the US public on the side of the war because gas prices were so high in the US.

"The president's response, 'Joe, the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil.'
"'In 2016, I said we should have kept the oil. It caused a lot of controversy …this time we're going to keep the oil.'"

Let’s be real. As a tea party member you didn’t give two flying fucks about the constitution either.
Same goes for how you voted for the Iraq war and how you treated Iraq war veterans. Funny how you repeatedly voted for more military action but voted against VA funding. #Veteran

Bullshit. Demanding a U.S. President follow our Constitution isn’t “whining.” Maybe Americans no longer care about the Constitution & the rule of law, but without the Constitution & the rule of law, our democracy doesn’t survive. So there ain’t nothing “weak” about fighting for democracy’s survival.

Well war, war never changes. Nor does the military industrial complex.

At minimum you’d need 60k to 100k soldiers on the ground. Then you’d bolster all of that with support troops from coalition countries.
It would then balloon to a surge of nearly 300k.
Oh wait. That was 3 years into the Iraq war. #Whoops

Popularity doesn’t matter when you’re killing people at sea as “narco terrorists”.
This is very close to the invasion of Iraq, the difference is Saddam hid underground. But the end will be the same. Because they both lied to the public repeatedly.
But we can’t afford the VA. 🤷 #Veterans

This is nothing like Iraq. That was a catastrophe and moral atrocity, but also, Bush was incredibly popular, spent a year securing broad public support, received congressional authorization.
Trump is very unpopular, has not bothered to build any case, and is doing this illegally and unilaterally.

Yeah Congress isn’t doing that.

Good example of what every elected Dem and candidate should be saying loudly right now:
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
