Blue states/blue cities/Democratic leaders:
1) How will you resist trump intrusions on the rule of law at the state and local level?
2) What will you do when he nationalizes/deploys your nat’l guard?
3) How will this be part of a unified national resistance strategy?
The time to prepare is now!
I stand in solidarity with the trans community and the city of Minneapolis, where I have lived my entire life. We will not be divided. 🏳️‍⚧️

Reupping this again. If you’re wondering where the line is, it’s already been crossed. The question is what we are going to do about it.

Federal law enforcement should be unmasked, in professional dress/uniform, and should have weapons and vehicles appropriate to the mission they are performing. No more cosplay!

Oppose everything. If you can shut it down, shut it down. If you can slow it down, slow it down. Leave nothing on the field.
this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen

not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally

shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

So the United States military sounded no better than the group of Boy Scouts in the first trump term. So much for more than two centuries of a depoliticized, independent military.

And instead of every major dem politician doing this, let’s make it a coordinated piece of an organized resistance plan.
Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.

Just do it.

Good for Gov. Walz, who refuses to throw marginalized children under the bus because it's a "difficult" topic.

As a high school teacher and football coach, Coach Walz was the faculty sponsor for Mankato High School's Gay-Straught Alliance student club.

Thank you Coach for this great example!

the company line from the Mayor and his dopey police sychophant surrogates, is that misinformation from activists escalated the trauma and panic of yesterday. No. Military vehicles, long guns, covered masked faces and jungle fatigues looking like a junta escalated panic and fear

DeSantis issued the order that cities are only allowed to light bridges in “red, white, and blue.” Jacksonville LGBTQ activists took the matter into their own hands, lighting up the iconic Acosta Bridge with handheld lights

As we deport actual working people!
Lutnick: "The attention on the Trump gold card -- I mean, it makes me very popular. Last night, I was out for dinner and somebody came up and said, 'Can I buy 10?' And I'm like, that's pretty good, that's $50 million for dinner. So it's paying for my dinner."

The jobs of our future are apparently the jobs of the Industrial Revolution.
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

URGENT: This is not a crime

A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake

Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997...

PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

Trump’s entire schtick is creating a crisis and pretending to solve it, but actually leaving things worse.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Does anyone, anyone at all, think that the events leading up to the criminal contempt holding were not done with the full knowledge, participation and instruction of Donald Trump?
