Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’

Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac.

This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Dear @markwarner.bsky.social

Unless you plan to attend and then walk out on the dictator's speech, resign

"Giving him his due" is appeasement

He is at war against American democracy. Pick a side

YIKES.

“Throughout history, tyranny has been limited by human frailty. Dictators tire. … They must sleep. …

“AI fundamentally changes this equation. … [W]e face the prospect of systems of control that never sleep, … and … can … identify patterns of resistance before they even fully form.”
The age of human tyranny was cruel—but flawed. AI tyranny will be perfect. It will know you better than you know yourself. It will shape your reality before you resist. And if we lose democracy now, we may never get another chance to win it back

Anyone who has ever been in the military knows that if it happens on your watch, you own it. It was YOUR responsibility. No Commanding Officer wants to hear jack shit about what the guy on the watch before you did if the event in question happened on YOUR watch. So, thank you, DJT, for $7 a dz eggs.
