I'm glad I'm not a senator. I'd hate to have Trump officials testify and bring their stupid little oppo book and come back with, "Sen. Rose, you didn't seem to care about the well-being of the American people when you subjected them to all those stupid dances you made."

🔥 EX-GOV. JESSE VENTURA: “How can you send someone else’s kids to war if you won’t send your own? So I’m calling on Barron Trump to enlist. No Trump has ever done military service — Enlist in the 🇺🇸 military, Barron. Do something your father never had the courage to do.”

Post 1/3 Thoughts on this? I’m starting to question annoying ICE agents as a tactic. There’s no evidence it leads to more retirements or fewer new agents signing up. Yes, it can feel good to vent outrage and yell “shame.” It can feel like standing up to bullies. But feelings aren’t outcomes. #ice

Post 2/3 Right now, government inaction emboldens ICE agents — they know they operate with impunity. The result isn’t restraint; it’s escalation, increasing the likelihood of more people getting killed.

Post 3/3 If we’re serious about change, wouldn’t Gandhian mass action — marches and nonviolent civil disobedience — do more? Disrupt the system without giving a pretext for lethal force, build public sympathy, and push real accountability. Restraint isn’t weakness; it’s power.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

In the face of the military, it's time for Gandhian protest—flood the streets, and sit down. No signs, no taunting… just a throng of people who will not be moved. It will make the presence of the military seem ridiculous. That’s how you win the public to your side.
