"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country." ~Fmr. President Theodore Roosevelt, 1918. Roosevelt was born OTD in 1858. Image: NPS/Sagamore Hill collection.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

THIS!

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Anyone who believes this (including the speaker) needs urgent mental intervention.

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

The ICE agent who shot Araujo in a Houston is named GREGORY FEATHERS. Make sure everyone knows.

Breaking: The Texas Tribune has identified the ICE agent who witnesses say fired through an open van window and killed 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston nearly three months ago.

I agree. Murdering U.S. citizens in pursuit of ethnic cleansing is not a federal agency, it’s a terrorist gang. In a normal world, their entire leadership would be hunted down and imprisoned. And lawfully so.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

I know there's not much of a chance newspapers will print this one but you can't have a word like 'ballroom' and expect me not to do a joke about it.

"Today it’s Lake America, but tomorrow the propaganda coming from south of the border could be both more serious and insidious, and the actions of Google, Apple and other companies show plainly that they will not be on our side." —  @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social

Reporter: "Trump is saying Iran tried to assassinate him in Turkey." 🇮🇷Araghchi: "No. There is absolutely no need for it." 🇺🇸Reporter: "Why?" 🇮🇷Araghchi: "Trump is already destroying the United States. We don't want to eliminate him." Araghchi is a strategic genius 🤣 👏

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Disgusting. I do hope there are Truth & Reconciliation style hearings on ICE when the Mad King is gone.

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I'm impressed by what Hunter Biden is saying here. He appears to understand the assignment that so many elites refuse to. New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. A dividend for all because AI was built on the whole of human inheritance. And truth and reconciliation plus systemic reforms.
