Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

Boiling us slowly: J6, false flag, election hack, ICE raids, endless shutdown, assassinated judges & Dems, 5th Caribbean strike, fake stats, media & voting takeover by maga-Insurrection Act soon. Any/EVERY affluent American staying silent now is complicit..a neo-nazi in disguise🇺🇸

Elon Musk on Fox: Clearly stated he wants to cut Social Security & Medicare Called them “entitlements” He said:“That’s the big one to eliminate.” Brace yourselves (& VOTE) No doubt, IF these entitled, tax evading grifters manage somehow to help what's his name steal the midterms they'll hit SS/M

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Two corrupt fascists got together to attack a third country in order to give the illusion of decisiveness and strength to the most ignorant of their voting populace in order to remain in power and not be locked up for their many, many crimes.

Katyal: "We didn't specifically ask for refunds bc our legal time saw as a matter of course, if we win the case we do think refunds will come back. We are today launching a task force to fight for those refunds. We will fight tooth and nail for them if the federal govt tries to hold that money back"

“Christians across the country..should ask hard questions about the work of ICE and its harmful impact on Christian communities who worship the same Lord..Christians should reject double standards when we identify threats to Christian worship and community in this country.” Read this today:

"The Christian ethic regarding foreigners is clear. But the sad irony is many of the same white Christian nationalists who believe biblical tenets should supersede the Constitution are eager to subsume their faith to the siege mentality of an oppressive government." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros. Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico. Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

The oligarchs are aware the Trump regime is massively unpopular; they're going to keep taking aggressive steps to control the media in the months before the election. They've taken out or have control over CBS, Washington Post, CPB, TikTok, Meta, Google, YouTube, Twitter...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

That was clever of Bad Bunny to remind MAGA that they only *pretend* to speak for America, but America is much bigger than them and their hate. They only speak for an angry, small-minded part of the United States, not America, which is already great.

When people like Pam Bondi fearmonger that our "Whole system will collapse" if the full Epstein files are released, they aren't talking about our system itself. They're talking about their place inside the system and control over it. And that should absolutely collapse. Today.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

CRITICAL Hopefully by now you've heard of #Palantir, Peter Theil's AI platform that has codified every person living in America - both citizens and non-citizens, and assigned them "threat" codes. If not, sorry; your anxiety is going to spike. Please share.

WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one? BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000

Being a male in America isn’t easy. Beginning on your 12th birthday you suddenly are competing with Republican Preachers, Presidents, CEOs, business owners, Representatives, Cabinet members, Children’s Church teachers, bankers, Senators, Pastors, Elon Musk, and ICE agents for girls your own age.

CBP Black Hawk overhead the ICE OUT protest in the Bay today. we know from Chicagoland that they frequently fly without transmitting ADS-B Out, so they won't appear on flight trackers. you may also see a white-and-blue Airbus H125, their 'control' helicopter, which often does appear on trackers.

James Croxton@jwcroxton.bsky.social

Local news has been reporting in recent days that low-flying helicopters would be a common sight in the lead up to the game on Sunday. I've seen the same helicopter swoop down twice so far.

so what's the endgame? 3 million plus (initial est.) immigrants with 90% no criminal record housed indefinitely in detention centers in U.S. & around the world, to be tortured add citizens to that. they're already detaining folks. what then? ovens? asking for a conscience #TruthWarriors ❕

What a fucking embarrassment. Trump says part of the reason he’s pushing for Greenland is that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he doesn’t think “purely of peace” Looking forward to Mike Johnson not seeing this letter until 2050.

I wrote to Hilton demanding the closure of my account and used the online portal to demand the deletion of my personal information and consequentially the termination of my account. That was four days ago. They just sent me spam promo email about my account. I guess they want the hard way.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is very, very good at this I hope to God the wonderful people of Minneapolis will be okay I've read about so many heroes there since this started I hope to God that this doesn't escalate any further PLEASE be peaceful Please ..

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."
