Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. The current insanity is NOT normal. The institutional cruelty is wrong. Trans rights are human rights. Reject the patriarchy. LGBTQIANB+ rights are human rights. Black lives matter. No discrimination.

Senator Grassley's new version of the budget bill would limit the power of judges to block President Trump's unconstitutional actions. They're trying to sneak this in behind our backs — but we're not backing down.

reuters.comUS Senate Republicans seek to limit judges' power via Trump's tax-cut billU.S. Senate Republicans have added language to President Donald Trump's massive tax and spending bill that would restrict the ability of judges to block government policies they conclude are unlawful.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

With the Trump regime screening social media, I suggest being careful with your posts and replies. They will use even the flimsiest of excuses to silence critics. We're effectively a police state now, where masked government agents can snatch people and whisk them to a prison without trial.

Donald Trump is wrecking United States Tourism. Other countries are advising their citizens not to visit the USA. Trump's hostility toward foreigners, his hostile trade and defense policies, and his open contempt for all other countries, is making the US a pariah nation. Trump is a failure.

Replying to @mattgertz.bsky.social

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts."

Today, I again called Congressman Vince Fong, Congressman David Valadao, Senator Alex Padilla, and Senator Adam Schiff. I spoke to their staff, and urged my represenatives to take action against president Trump's violation of the Constitution, and defiance of federal court orders. Uphold Democracy!

I got a text this morning, from Nancy Pelosi asking for money to fight back against Trump. Aside from Rep Al Green I didn't see any fight from the democrats last night. I've sent plenty of money to the dems already, and aside from a flood of more funding requests, I haven't seen much come of it.

Republicans booed and heckled Joe Biden during his State of the Union addresses. The Democrats needed to do at least that much during Trump's litany of lies last night. If Mike Johnson is going to silence all dissension by having Democrats removed, the public needs to see that!

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

I am not accepting Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of America. I'm going to keep repeating this mantra, and doing what I can, to prevent tyrannical rule. I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear. I will not normalize insanity. I will not ignore cruelty.

These are not the actions of an innocent man looking to uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution. They are the actions of a guilty, vengeful tyrant looking to silence his enemies and remove every check on his power. Coward. abcnews.go.com/Politics/doj...

abcnews.go.comDOJ fires members of special counsel Jack Smith's team who prosecuted TrumpThey couldn't be trusted to implement the president's agenda, officials said.

The Trump enablers in the house and senate must know that they're putting themselves out of a job. Trump is getting rid of all the federal agencies and employees that might stand in the way of his rule by decree. Of course that will include the legislature. The same goes for the SCOTUS judges.

Media reports say San Antonio could be one of the cities targeted by Trump's immigration raids this week. No matter what, we know that: 1) You have basic rights (listed below). 2) Trump will say he's going after criminals. He's a liar. Texans need to look out for each other.
