Some great advice from @theframelab.bsky.social on how to describe what Trump is doing. “Trump is following the dictator playbook & creating a crisis. Authoritarians create fake emergencies to seize power & destroy democracy.” #NoKings www.theframelab.org/trumps-fake-...

theframelab.orgTrump’s Fake Emergencies Follow Authoritarian PlaybookTrump is using fake crises to grab power, echoing tactics of autocrats. Americans must recognize the pattern and resist.

#ProudBlue I am immunocompromised & suffer from crushing fatigue. It would be almost impossible for me to attend a protest. This video means a lot to me. I really want to be hitting the pavement & often feel guilty that I can’t do it. #mecfswarrior #Dysautonomia #chronicillness #Mecfs

1/3 Hey, if you’re not able to attend #NoKings events in person—whether it’s because of chronic pain, disability, mental health, caregiving, work, or just needing rest—you don’t owe anyone an apology. Your voice matters. Your safety matters. And you are still a powerful part of this movement. 💙

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

The president of the United States in our time is not supposed to wield armed troops and even station marines on American soil because of political speech and assembly he doesn’t like, that is typically not allowed and no I don’t care if any of it is technically “legal”

Footage from the Padilla staff here:

Arieh Kovler@ariehkovler.com

This video from Senator Padilla's staff, shared to Twitter by Fox LA's Elex Michaelson, shows Padilla forced to the ground by men wearing FBI uniforms who then handcuff him behind his back. This is after he is forcibly removed from the Noem press conference for asking a question.

It’s strange to hear our government cite the English Court of Chancery as a reason why one judge shouldn’t be able to issue a nationwide injunction. America has no king, we fixed that a long time ago.

🚨 WTH is wrong with people! Do Governors & their families not eat! GA is following ND & removing the right to sue for damages caused by chemicals in our food! Dismantling the EPA has opened the flood gates! This 📽️🎞️ highlights implications & what you can do! #MomSky

Dear Kevin: GO FUCK YOURSELF! Canada was just fine UNTIL your dumb-ass President Donny 2 Dolls decided to try to make us the 51st state. WHO started the rhetoric? If you thought we're just gonna lie down and die and eat your illegal tariffs - YOU WERE DEAD WRONG! Kiss our ass! Signed, Canada🇨🇦

#Anonymous #OperationDreadnought Hackers targeted GlobalX Air, the main airline the Trump administration uses as part of its deportation efforts, and taken what they say are flight records and passenger manifests of all of its flights, including those for deportation. They also killed the website.

Donald Trump’s 2017 tax bill cut the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, but most profitable corporations paid even less. The deficit skyrocketed. Some think Republican support of Trump is cowardice. No, it’s greed and avarice. Trump is their tool. #TrickleUp

Emily Feiner, a retired social worker and mother of two, posed no threat whatsoever. Ms. Feiner politely asked her congressman — Rep. Mike Lawler — what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless Trump regime. Lawler refused to answer the question. When Ms. Feiner called out for him…

Sunday night’s town hall in Somers, New York was yet another horrifying example of the brutal suppression of free speech in America under Trump. Constituent Emily Feiner courageously stood up and quite courteously asked Republican Rep. Mike Lawler a simple question about upholding the…

So lets get this straight • ⁠The gestapos raided the wrong house • ⁠They forced underage girls to stand outside in the rain in their underwear • ⁠They robbed the house of laptops, phones, and cash • ⁠They refused to give any id or business card And it took 20 of them to do this. #trumpamerica
