It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

Hey Donald Trump. I didn’t see you mention that a city wide annual marathon/half marathon of 12,000 runners was held in Portland yesterday. A peaceful event by all accounts, including by my son who ran in it. Keep the troops out of Portland!

We have to stay vigilant. We have to speak up where & when we can. This country needs to wake up. We cannot gamble our lives & democracy away & leave our children with a country rotten to its core. Passionate peaceful protests matter. Support Democracy Forward, 50501, MoveOn, Indivisible, ACLU ACT!

Sort of like how Trump’s lawyers made clear in court filings during the J6 trials that his claims about voter fraud were never meant to be taken seriously so the defendants couldn’t claim Trump being culpable. But then Trump keeps lying about voter fraud to this day.

Any Federal employee, agency head or institution that supports & follows this POTUS’ illegal demands & actions should be held legally accountable when the MAGA Cult losses control of the WH and Congress! The “I was just following orders” didn’t work for the NAZIs after WWII it shouldn’t work now!

Hey that kind of sounds like the time Trump lied about voter fraud in public for months on end while in court his attorneys were reluctant to even allege fraud because they had literally zero evidence and the lawyers didn’t want sanctions.

They’re building the case for Trump’s own SS. We already have Trump’s Gestapo taking naked toddlers and putting them in U-Haul vans Where has our country gone? How is this administration still in place?

I was at our large protest in Portland on Saturday. ICE and Feds were the aggressors. They attacked the peaceful protesters, shot pepper bullets at us, and set off tear gas. I protest a lot, this was a targeted attack on a group of Portland residents. Their lies are hurting people here.

When you say that, you mean the group itself are sort of known somehow as protesting types, or just speaking generally, as in "they were there, good opportunity" targeted?" Because thats potentially a huge difference, right.

When I say protesters I mean people who are intentionally marching and protesting peacefully. Other neighbors join in when we are near because we stay peaceful. The whole community and cities around here are being hurt and burdened with trumps actions and the actions of Feds and ice.

The Judge prohibited the “relocation, federalization or deployment of any National Guard,” under the president’s command within the state of Oregon.” Hell yeah. ✊🏼

Not sure, but I believe that a judge can create a class if the right conditions exist. This might be an easy one (class: all state National Guards).

START THINKING MIDTERMS & SUPPORT DEM CANDIDATES! We need guardrails on this insanity! Should Dems win House, Trump’s last 2 years will be filled with investigations/impeachment proceeding. This is why he ordered red states to redistrict, to support Republican majority. CA is fighting back!

What a bunch of Nazi fucktards. Maybe some rotten eggs and tomatoes are called for. Some hockey sticks to smack back those gas canisters. Smack them clear down to the Pro ICE fascists. 😉

I blame SCOTUS for unleashing a depraved ,demented , and emotionally disturbed maniac on the American people and our democratic norms. The problem now is they will have e a hard time if they want to, to put the evil genie back in the bottle. We are at an inflection point in our democracy. Resist.

Our countries religious leaders have to do more of this and probably come out with a joint statement endorsed by the Pope come ing this administration’s barbaric behavior.

You can't fix stupid. You can't win arguments with crazy. Evangelicals are both--they don't respond to logic, reason, common sense. They do respond strongly to hate, fear, avarice, & lust. They are controlled by their urges & animal instincts. They are the epitome of the evil they preach against.

Actually, it’s interesting- I recently watched a video & then a couple days later, saw an article: women are leaving the Christian church. Women are a bedrock of the stability of the churches. They may not be Evangelical- but the rot has spread & women see the truth: they are not valued anymore.

Donald Trump has defied the law for 60 years, it’s fun for him. We must stop him now that WE have the power. Power is in the numbers, WE The People are that power.

This is all we have to make our voices heard... unfortunately...& Vote them out: Pressure Congress by directly contacting our representatives. By constantly & consistently making our voices heard. We can influence policy decisions & hold elected officials accountable for their actions BY CALLING

I wonder if when they tell them to fire on protesters they will? I’m guessing yes. Part of this is getting people to yell at them when they stand there doing nothing as they are being called fascists. After about 6 months of that they’ll be happy to murder people for the State.

Why is no one talking about the elephant in the room? Trump‘s inner circle are right wing extremists in every sense. Their goal is to keep Trump in office as long as possible and strip all power away from Democrats. And they’ve made it clear they’ll destroy our constitution to accomplish that goal!

Or how about a post on truth social from the president as a basis to prove that “ oregon was burning” All because the moron in chief happened to see a Fox News report conflating images from the George Floyd protests years ago to today’s protest consisting of maybe a dozen people

I can't believe the blatant lies trump's evil regime is spreading about cities like Portland being a 'war zone'. My Aussie mate's son lives in Portland, he said it's a load of bs, the city is fine.......

Friends who live in Portland spent two days with us, last week. They drove by the ICE facility twice in the past few days. Saw 20 or so people quietly protesting. After spending most of last year traveling, said Portland is doing well.

Same thing in Los Angeles the first time. The crowd protest drama was a few city blocks near downtown while the rest of the city and county did experience any of that...except ICE kidnapping folks off the streets, Home depot parking lots and random raids which apparently is happening all over USA🙁

Republicans are masters of the double con. Democrats generally follow them down the rabbit hole. For example. Lutnick. Loyal soldier. He goes on TV and talks about Epstein. Dems assume WH is furious and Lutnick is stupid. Wrong. Ask "why would they want him to do that?"

They would have to commit perjury to argue that and they are good enough lawyers to know that. Like Guiliani would never argue fraud in court only to the public.

That’s the #TrumpRegime in a nutshell - never on the merits, always on a technicality (eg. No standing, no jurisdiction, irreparable harm to the power of the Presidency). And our #UnSupremeCourt is complicit A unitary President = A King 👑 www.nokings.org

nokings.orgNo KingsAs the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

I would think in the interests of the nation that jailing the governors for three days for obstructing would be a more sane solution. This is a Fed matter with Fed jurisdiction & it concerns national security. Why aren't we asking why are they obstructing? These are states with missing tax dollars.

That’s because in the cold light of day Trump can prove his public statements about Portland or Chicago, LA. I Trump wanted to stop murder and rapist then why not go to say Mississippi or Tennessee etc. they have the highest murder rates.

Being in Boston today and looking at old buildings that are historical in nature, Faneuil Hall, The Old North Church etc., people waking the Freedom Trail as they learn the history of Boston. As an American I believe in our freedom, Trump will not win!

Isn't that the definition of propaganda? bsky.app/profile/muel...
