There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.
The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy"

I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

The central & most important aspect of John Roberts’s jurisprudence is republicans must be allowed to do whatever they want *until* trial appeal and final scotus review admit they’re illegal. Democrats’ actions cannot be allowed UNTIL that same review says they’re legal

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child.

It's a genocide.

I'd like to bring this multimillion-dollar photo-op to the attention of Elon Musk and DOGE.

Instead of firing food inspectors and air traffic controllers and cancelling critical medical research at NIH, stop this outrageous waste of our people's tax dollars!

Firing federal employees en masse with the same claim of poor performance is illegal. “This can’t be how my service to my country ends.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Trump administration fires thousands for ‘performance’ without evidence, in messy rush
Many probationary employees targeted in latest Trump cuts across agencies had excellent ratings; legal challenges are expected.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

If any foreign governments want the USA and its people to survive they should immediately announce that if the US drops mandatory vaccinations it will be subjected to a travel ban and freight quarantine. Do not wait til after RFK is confirmed and starts the next pandemic.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

Do not obey in advance means defending ideas as institutions until you lose that fight. I simply cannot tell this loud enough— the law, our Constitution, means what we say it means. Let the Supreme Court tell us we’re wrong. But until then, cede no ground to corrupted visions of law.
