I encourage you to follow @thesteadystate.org -400 former nat sec officials sounding the alarm! I just discovered this in The Guardian newspaper. They're alarmed by the lies + obfuscation from this Pentagon, unlike any other/ in any previous war. Lies about wounded KIA/ lack of info/lack of access.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Step one: check Step two: now threatened. Congressional R’s: “nice weather, eh?”

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

ICE has a curious relationship with Christianity.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.

Honor. Dignity. Humanity. These things are not traitorous.

Suggest that before anybody posts their views on how the US military treats unlawful orders, they read this training slide deck. We expect it from our service men and women, not too much to ask of BlueSky posters. #holdfast (docs.google.com/presentation...)

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Rep. Lauren Boebert confused Oliver Stone, a witness before House lawmakers on Tuesday, with political strategist Roger Stone. “You wrote a book accusing LBJ of being involved in the killing of President Kennedy.” Boebert asked. “No, I didn’t,” Oliver Stone said. What a fool.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

One place where the resistance can focus

ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...

Pushing live production code cooked up by some young coders over a week of sleepness nights in place of a legacy system that is fundamental to the operation of the US government is against every programming best practice.

Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I just perused the msm sites. little to no mention of the bureaucratic takeover by Musk & co. A bloodless coup in plain site.

Trump last July: These guys are the radical Right - Project 2025 - I don’t know what the hell it is. They read some of the things in that and it’s some pretty extreme stuff. But I don’t know anything about it.

Where is that emergency rally?

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Where is Democratic leadership?

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

Where is Democratic leadership?

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social

Yes, they are violating the law. They are also responsible for enforcing the law, which they won't do. Therefore, law enforcement and preservation of the Republic will require either external enforcement from non-Trump-aligned government elements or acceptance of autocracy. Those are the choices.
