I think we're gonna have to take a cue from Germany post WW2 after this.
I'm ready to carve out a 1A exception for maga hate speech. Treat it like Nazi propaganda in Germany. Throw those fuckers in jail. Never ever ever allow them to metastasize unchecked again.

Trump stole $500 million in Venezuelan oil, sold it, and put the money in a private account in Qatar. If you can't see how immensely corrupt this mob boss is you have the IQ of a dead hamster.

Yup. Everything in this thread, up to and including the end. You don't eat around the cockroach.
Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.
Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

France is our first and oldest ally.
The fact that they are sending troops to fight against us should actually fill every American with horror and shame.

We are so far past the Rubicon that it isn't worth having a discussion anymore as to whether Trump is acting as an authoritarian. The only question is whether we have the strength and courage to get back to the other side.

This is *extraordinary*. Trump is already seeking to stash his plunder in offshore havens beyond the reach of American law *while still president*!
Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

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.

This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty.
Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not “law and order.” It’s coercion—and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.
