Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

I had my car radio stolen once. In 1977.

This is what was happening in NYC… in 1973!!!

I see it even more darkly. This is the lead up to the declaration of martial law, and the cancellation of elections all together.

Serious question- they look like they are strolling, not marching? Aren’t the steps supposed be in unison?

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

While I’m vividly aware of the lawlessness of the current administration, if ICE detains me, I’m calling a lawyer. If I can. Because who else? My question is, would that lawyer have a good case to get me out?
chinookie.bsky.social (@chinookie.bsky.social) reply parent
Question for the lawyers in the room, in this scenario, are we required to produce our documents? What if we refuse? Do we go to jail?

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

He will only leave feet first. But no one lives forever.
chinookie.bsky.social (@chinookie.bsky.social)
I’ve said this for years, and still think I’m right- the only way the orange guy is leaving the WH is feet first. A third term is definitely on the table, and no guarantees of a 2028 election at all.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

This is truly terrifying
Norm Eisen (@normeisen.bsky.social) reposted
This is not the 1st time Vance has proposed violating court orders. In 2021, he said Trump upon reelection should “fire every single mid-level bureaucrat …& when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Jackson did & say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

For the January 6 people who were convicted of felonies, their conviction made them ineligible to own firearms. Trump just restored that right. He has his shadow army, and now they know the drill

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) reposted
Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.
