This is really happening in America. I need everybody to realize that. Keep up the relentless resistance, Jolly! ✊
In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
MSM is Dead.
Found the holographic image of Musk being put up around Los Angeles. Whoever is doing this is a genius!! Thank you to whoever you are!! 🙏💗
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
Honestly, how the fuck would be be able to tell? He’s already the dumbest motherfucker to ever hold office!

More often than not, the obvious answer is the correct one! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
🇩🇪 German soldiers are legally required to disobey any orders they believe violate human dignity, under the Soldiers’ Act and Basic Law. This stems from post-WWII reforms and the Nuremberg Trials, ensuring ethical judgment and accountability in the military. www.ethikundmilitaer.de/en/magazine-...
Unchecked, I might add! Pathetic interview @facethenation.bsky.social !
Same group that showed up wearing Diapers & Ear bandages. Not a Cult at all!
🚨BREAKING: Trump just announced at his cabinet meeting that they'll seek the death penalty for anyone killing someone in the Capitol building. Families of the police officers who died at the Jan 6 insurrection and saw their murderers walking free would like to have a word.
Could anyone imagine Tim Russert allowing this on his show? @facethenation.bsky.social is a joke of a show, on a on a joke of a news channel, @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy .
Shocking that jon Gruden supports Fascism. Just kidding, of course he does!
This is what failed Republican policies look like. #VoteThemOut
“I look forward to watching the videos of soldiers entering Chicago.” Our Founders would be sickened by today’s Republican Party. Anyone who believes in freedom and supports the Constitution should be sickened by today’s Republican Party.👇
I'm cooking Ribs!
Another FAFO moment for the learning books #USDemocracy
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Any comments, @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
I would read a whole series of reports like this on each individual federal goon. They all deserve a profile.
That was one of the most useless & cowardly interview I've ever seen. @facethenation.bsky.social should be ashamed!
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines. He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are “risky” so they’ll shift to “traditional, older” vaccine tech that’s “safer.” Guess what? We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses. 1/
Another "Conservative" sucking off of the Gov't teet!
In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said: “I have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.” Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
@jaketapper is too busy researching another Joe Biden hit job piece.
There’s a word for that: corruption.
It's their job, and unfortunately, they do it willingly!
Fuck them!
Motherfucker should lose his medical license.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
RFKjr’s threat to pediatricians: "AAP should ... be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC's official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act," Kennedy posted this week on X. share.google/V6oR1cpdZ7LV...
Face it, Jerry Jones is playing 4 dimensional chess! Meanwhile, GB is playing, um, Football!
This Fucking Traitor should be dumped in a Potter's Field! This is a slap in the face to every Veteran!
New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...
Disgusting
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Boo-Fucking-Hoo! #HannityIsABitch

NRA meetings are safe, of course, they DON’T ALLOW GUNS!
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
Narrator: They never really had principles, this is who they've always been.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
We have a consolidating DICTATORSHIP in our country
I was in the news business for only 4 decades, so maybe I don't know much. But it seems like the transformation of the U.S. into a police state would be worth a headline and a few paragraphs.
I believe that we are learning, in real time, what I have always suspected. That is, that the GOP has NEVER believed in any of the shit they've been spewing for the last 60 Years. It was all a charade to get power & never lose it. Period!
Did they really?
So when we first showed up at the Union Station today, we ran ICE off as soon as we got here.
Well, this has certainly escalated quickly. National Guard units patrolling the nation’s capital under Trump’s orders are now carrying firearms. The moment our military turns its weapons on American citizens will mark a point of no return.
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
Why the fuck is @meetthepress.com interviewing a murderer? What the fuck is wrong with @kristenwelker.bsky.social ?
"And the freedom that you sought's Drifting like a ghost amongst the trees This is what will be" Bruce Springsteen 2007
I'll bet ICE will waiting for them when they come out of their locker rooms.

What the Fuck? WE have to COMPLIMENT him to even HAVE elections? Really? Yeah, that's pretty fucking ABHORRENT! JFC, I thought you were somewhat of a serious person.
Holy Fuck, this is embarrassing.
Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.
Well put. Here's to hoping that any @housedemocrats.bsky.social or @democrats.senate.gov catch on. Maybe @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social could stop bashing Mamdani for 2 seconds & grow a set.
Getting ready for Martial Law, of course, only in "Blue States".
Along with GOP Gov's, such as Abbott & Desantis. In 6 months the entire GOP will be onboard & doing the same thing. We are living through the End of The United States.
Using threats of violence to gain power. Targeting political enemies. Undermining the free press. Pumping huge sums of money into the police state. Just a few months into his second term, Donald Trump is already following the dictator's playbook to a tee.
I posted this back in June.
Gavin Newsom: Wake the f' up!!
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
It's crazy how the guy who said Trump was America's Hitler turned out to be America's Goebbels.
Sickening!
The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC. All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC. This was never about "fighting crime."
This is gaslighting at a very dangerous level.
A group of former national security and FBI officials have issued a warning about Trump trying to turn the FBI into his own private force, CBS reports.
On the National Mall, thugs with no badges, no warrant, and no shame dragged a man down and left him screaming for help. This is not law enforcement. It is fascism in plain sight: state violence in the shadow of the Capitol. We need to find a way to stop this cruelty & brutality. It’s evil.
Texas is a terrorist State, every one of these thugs need justice. #FuckTexas
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
The Hague is gonna love this👇
Under this made up rationale — cracking down on crime in a city where crime is down — Trump could ask red state Governors to send troops to blue states. Also known as civil war. He’s playing with fire.
"Remember your oath." Please listen to what this vet is saying. Share this. If you are a Guardsman in DC right now, you don't need to obey orders. Unlawful orders. Ask yourself. Are you willing to "attack" Americans citizens who are legally protesting if you are given that order?
Shame on EVERY Fucking COP taking part in this! We have become a fully Authoritarian State. It's only going to get worse.
This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”
It's actually tRump's effort to establish Martial Law, not "Policing".
Neville Jr. says what?
This 👇🏽
Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."
rUbio is a flaming, piece of 💩
I want to believe that it was done, intentionally, by someone who wanted the press to have it! A guy still has to have a little hope that there are at least a few real Patriots left!
FFS, when States start sending troops to other States, You could make the argument that we are already there.
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
One of the lowest & demeaning acts in American History. #FucktRump #FuckpUtin www.huffpost.com/entry/newsom...
The Art of the CON. potus got Dog-walked by a fucking Dictator in front of the entire World. tRump's new motto - MAKE AMERICA PUTIN"S BITCH!
It can happen here. It is happening here.
In other words, exactly as we expected. BTW, any comment by the WH on what was said when they were alone in the beast? That was the real purpose of this dog-walk, I mean, summit.
He should be shunned everyfuckingwhere. He & his wife, use their kids as nothing but props - Fuck them both!
Throw a sandwich get arrested and lose your job. Incite violence get a presidential pardon and a job in the DOJ.
