I honestly want someone to show me the "violent rhetoric" coming from "the left." Specifically, I'd like to see evidence that any liberal public office holder has used violent rhetoric like, for example, Nancy Mace or DT have. Show me. Prove it before you say it.

The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest:

America’s state militias were meant as a check on tyranny. Now they can be federalized at will.

Thank you.
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Hey SCOTUS and every elected official who took an oath to uphold the United States Constitution. It turns out there’s this thing called the 8th Amendment in there that prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” You should check it out. It’s a quick read.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities.

Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.

Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?

Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!”

Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.”

You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters.

Too many of my white friends are still doing risk analysis, still weighing the costs of expressing their new revelations, still concerned about what they will lose by speaking out.

The reality is, the risks and consequences of silence are far greater.

If a Democratic president were openly & repeatedly saying that neither the 14th nor the 22nd amendment constrained him, the country would grind to a halt, the NYT & WaPo would have 96-point font front page headline articles, & the Senate impeachment trial would already be underway.
