The thing is Trump does have a really strong voice.
But we also have a voice.
My voice alone isn’t strong.
But there are MILLIONS of us that will stand up to his nonsensical and cruel orders and policies.
He is no king.
He has no majesty.
He will not overcome us.

Not sure when this transition happened, but when I was a child I worried I would disappoint my parents.
Now as a parent, I worry much more that I’ll disappoint my children.

Chandler is Portland-famous BECAUSE HE LETS PEOPLE USE HIS BATHROOM in his apartment across the street from the Portland ICE facility. He became a local legend bc he's NICE!
He's literally a kind kid, nearby. The total opposite of a thug from ICE/DHS. 🤣

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.
One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

I wanted to learn a little Japanese so I started following this guy on IG who teaches Japanese. But turns out he is teaching to people who speak Spanish.
So apparently I have to learn to speak Spanish before I can learn to speak Japanese. 😩

My son just interviewed me for a college assignment. It was a discussion on censorship in film and media and my experience with it. I was raised Mormon so I had a lot of censorship from the parental side of things. It was a good discussion.

Whatever you are doing right now is what you would have been doing in 1930’s Germany.
I agree 100%.
At the same time I feel completely helpless to stop what is happening.
I don’t want any of this.

The world doesn’t see the US as weak because of Trump. They view it as weak because of Congress not doing its job to rein him in. They view it as a failed government because of the GOP. Most of the US does too.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

I’m not the first to say it, but I think it’s hard to argue otherwise: Democracy is gone; we are living under a dictatorship.
Any person that can freely use governmental powers to terrorize a citizenship and persecute political adversaries is a de facto dictator.
I for one will never bow to him.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
