Can you gather the officers of the Illinois National Guard and instruct them that only you are their executive officer and that order is coming out of Washington mean nothing unless they come for you. Take a stand on this it’s radical but so everything that’s coming out of Washington. Thank you
@govpritzker.illinois.gov a bold action would be to gather your state National Guard officers and make sure they understand that you are the commander and that orders from elsewhere are illegal unless they’ve then also approved by you. Federalization has got to be stopped.
I don’t think Congress cares about laws violated if the perpetrators are maga
What about the couple of guys we know about like the make up artist. Going back to Venezuela is dangerous for them there too. They need to come back to the US.
Masked kidnappers grabbed another citizen. His brother, the marine officer, may have a few words for the kidnappers. If the kidnappers were looking for criminals, they would visit South Central instead of going after people looking for work at Home Depot. But they don't.
The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.
Too many decades of fear mongering over the word socialist, even though most people have no idea what it means.
Stop being a victim. I live in an intensely red county. Meet up with the right progressives and join the resistance and you won’t hear that “ you deserve” anymore
Too many people moving to red state because it’s cheaper. They don’t seem to care if they were living among the deplorable. Those purple states deserve to be red.
We should split into two nations. Anyone who finds themselves in a state of the wrong color should get a stipend to move. And then we never again wanna hear crap from the red state as they sink into deeper poverty and ignorance
We better start weaponizing everything we possibly can. This is war against democracy, and we cannot lose.
This thread is one to read and apply. No nationwide injunctions on medical abortion pills in the mail, for instance. No nationwide injunctions on gun control laws. No nationwide injunctions on ANYTHING the far right wants. NOPE.
The high road is the road to fascism
She is such an ignorant deplorable. I am disgusted that she represents my district.
Also, the oath taken by our military, and Congress has lost his meeting as well. Defend against enemies forward and domestic.! And when the time came that we really needed that oath, it was completely ignored.
I am appalled that Elizabeth Warren is backing John Hickenlooper for reelection. He has been an effective placeholder. Call never wanted him. Schumer forced him on us. We have plenty of qualified people who will serve Colorado in the nation well
Hell, I'd argue Illinois should pass its own citizenship law making everyone domiciled in Illinois a citizen of the State of Illinois and prohibiting ICE or anyone else from removing any Illinois citizen from this state.
We must find a way to stop these mega bastards from redefining words. They have no idea what a socialist is.
The Supreme Court is a disgrace to this nation and to memory of the founders. If and when democracy is restored, every one of the conservative justices should be impeached and denied their retirement income. They deserve far worse.
It’s far worse than that. The conservative justices are traders to the constitution. They are disgrace and deserve some evil outcome, but I can’t even think of. Fuck John Roberts, and fuck all of his conservative breathing. Conservative is nothing more than a slur word
Everyone should be asking over and over, why haven’t all these cuts produced a balanced budget? Why is there a big beautiful budget still creating a huge deficit?
Jake Tapper lost all credibility when he pretended to moderate the last presidential debate. A 10-year-old could’ve done what he did. Jake Tapper has become a publicity hard rather than a journalist.
If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.
Ice, and the previous border/ immigration control, have always been a bunch of thugs. The bottom of the barrel of Law enforcement. People willing to treat other humans as less than human. No respect for these bullies
I would not doubt that part of the traitor presidents’s motives to help Netanyahu is that he still wants Gaza for a resort.
When someone breaks the law, typically the enforcement agency, the police, the Marshalls, something like that, they go in and make an arrest. Why is a lawsuit requires to address this issue now? Why does everything have to take prolonged time through the courts
The Constitution is what made America great
“In April, I resigned from my position at the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for a simple reason: The department’s leadership is directing attorneys to use antisemitism as a pretext to undermine free speech.” slate.com/news-and-pol...
He’s an Ivy League idiot
Prof Tribe queries if it’s too late. All you, Talking Heads should have been raising the alarm much much more strongly months ago. But media talked around using the actual words to alert us that this is a fascist take over. I think it is too late. I pray I am wrong
Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it. I don’t necessarily understand why police are working with ice in the sanctuary state like California. But thank you for the reply.
Absolutely right. And why is court the first step why don’t they get police or federal marshals to demand access that’s the first step. They want to take the long way around everything.
When someone breaks the law you get enforcement officer. Going to court in any of the situation is not the first step. Why can’t you get the police or the federal marshals to get you access into these facilities? Court comes AFTER enforcement for other crimes
We did nationalize the steel industry thanks to this ridiculous deal between US steel and Nippon steel. And they claimed to hate socialism ha! And that is fundamentalist socialism not the kind of socialism that includes fireman and Social Security
If members of Congress are supposed to have access to detention facilities without notice under law, and they’re being turned away, why aren’t they getting those who enforce the law to do so? Why aren’t they getting the police or the Marshalls to help them gain access?
WTF! Why does the traitor’s administration want people to die. That seems like their goal. Between RFK JR, his deputy Oz, cutting medical research, cutting staffing at the VA, taking healthcare away from the poorest in our country, now they’re gonna bring asbestos back!
I have a serious question. If members of Congress are supposed to have access to inspect detention facilities by law, and are being denied entry, why aren’t they getting the police or the marshals or whoever to enforce the law?
Democrats are getting pretty fed up with lack of action and imagination by their so-called leaders. If members of Congress can’t get into these detention centers where they are allowed by law to do so, why aren’t they getting the police to demand access.
he is the most arrogant lying piece of garbage disrespecting our elected leaders. It’s very easy to believe that he abuses his wife
If it’s supposed to be the law that a MOC can inspect without notice then why aren’t they getting the police to help enforce the law. Or the Marshall or whoever it is that’s supposed to help enforce the law. Aren’t You fed up with these people breaking the law time and time again without consequence
If the law says congressman can inspect without notice. Who enforces the law? Get the police to assist with enforcing the law. Why is this not an option? Why is it not being asked by Jen Psaki, and other reporters . This is beginning to fall into the category of Democrats not doing enough.
If he wanted a big parade with millions of people cheering & celebrating, all he has to do was resign. 🙃
Sure, it’s a possibility. But I think he truly does want Gaza for of massive resort. And if he wants Gaza, he has to pander to Netanyahu.
And I’m waiting to hear what happens to the people they sent to Lybia
We’d have to rely on Congress to make a final decision to oppose any intentions towards war. I have no faith that the mega traders in both houses will stand up for anything that Trump doesn’t endorse.
Seems to me he should be able to file charges of assault against those thugs. Same with Senator Padilla.
More states should follow California's lead and propose legislation that imposes harsh penalties for law enforcement covering their faces.
And don’t forget, he wants Gaza for himself. He wants to have a new Riviera coastline. And so he has to pander to Netanyahu to get his Gaza deal.
When do we expect a decision from the court? Is this a situation for accelerated consideration?
The award is to both him personally and his company. If there’s no specific ratio, he can easily put it all on his company, declare bankruptcy and be out of this. That would be a disgusting misstep by the court. I hope it’s not the case.
I thought the award to dominion was low. At any number, I hope it completely destroys that lying nitwit.
The mega do not care a bit about truth. They speak only what they want people to think and believe. We saw that very clearly when Bill Barr stood in front of America with the Mueller report and outright lied. The eyes have only gotten more blatant and nonstop. Had to quickly.
Cyborg!
It’s obvious that the executive branch has embraced full on fascism. I am astounded that so many judges have supported the blatant fascism. The reasoning behind judgment and favor of the fascist tactics are usually based on minutia of the law. What is wrong with these judges? They support fascism?!
@weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social On Katy Tur’s show today they mused over why Trump would enter a war between Israel and Iran? I go back to his comment and intent to have Gaza. Trump has to pander to Netanyahu so that he can get Gaza.
Why hasn’t senator Padilla brought charges of assault against the thugs who attacked him? And similarly Mr. Lander? How are these fascists allowed to attack our elected officials and the only consequences that our officials are let free with no consequences to the violent attackers?
WTF is going on with courts? How can any rational person on the bench allow a fascist take over? Did they not have witnesses to testify that a few people acted illegally and a mob of 1000 was NOT attempting to break into the fed building?
Defending your friends, family, and neighbors against armed Gestapo ICE agents isn't lawlessness. It's self-defense.
@ezralevin.bsky.social regarding the refusal of MOC to enter a detention facility, if the law allows for the unscheduled visit from a MOC, why can't that MOC go to the local police and ask for assistance in enforcing the law??
never mind a hearing... demand her resignation for allowing the manhandling of a US Senator AND because of her statements indicating an intent to overthrow the governor of CA and mayor of LA
@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social Regarding migrant deportation, Since courts have little control over tRump, Is it possible for a judge to order that anyone participating in sending people out of the country to foreign lands will suffer consequences? Thinking airline pilots and CEOs
When will people stop treating his EOs as if they are law? And why do people believe there will be another fair election if he is not stopped now? I just keep waiting to see if there is any way to enforce a court ruling. So far... I see no way. He has the enforcement agencies.
@arimelber.bsky.social Here are two that I think are fun on social media in the past week.
I hope they can be impeached before they retire.
JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)
The traitors in the Supreme Court gave personal immunity to a president. They did not make anything he does legal. In theory, the illegal action can be ordered reversed. But we do not have a president, We have a fascist dictator.
The real issue is that their DEI policies ARE complying with LAW. The exec order is not a law.
One can never be American enough for maga until they are white and have no accent.
A motion would not even make it to the floor
Anyone familiar with Mao's Cultural Revolution in the 1960's? Similar to what the maga idiots are doing with the purge of history, science and arts and anything not "traditional" American (meaning white male dominance) The result in China was devastating hardship.
I continue to be disgusted with people on cable news who continue to talk about the "advantage" the Dems have for the 2028 election. Um, if they do not stop him now & courts cannot stop him, how are we going to have a fair election in 2028?
@maddow.msnbc.com Have you compared the tRump destruction of science and the arts to the Cultural Revolution under Mao? I think there are many similarities and I am sure most in the US know nothing about that time and the hardship it brought.
The real bone chilling aspect is the SILENCE of the court since his refusal.
www.threads.net/@iampolitics...
I waited to comment on Bill's visit to the W.H. so I was not just being reactionary. tRump was welcoming and attentive... HE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL LIAR. His primary skill is deception and becoming relatable to whoever he wants to manipulate. You fell for it.
welcoming the evil is nothing to celebrate. Giving equal time to evil is not an honorable way to show fairness. And why don't you stand up to him. Bannon: the 1/6 committee lied. Maher should have: so the 90+ repub witnesses all lied? You are often funny but weak when faced with conservatives
The situation is so dire, so critical, that it seems only a superhero flying in to save the day can be the savior of the US and likely the world. None of the current leaders are superhero material. From where will that epic hero emerge? ... and I dream on :((
How many days until DOGE announces it is laying off three Supreme Court justices?
And the response of the court? They are confirming that they have NO POWER over the fascists. -
And what about the duty to defend the Constitution? When you know impeachment will go nowhere, there is a DUTY to do more. This is the moment of no return. Are we to just let that pass without using EVERY option... including military end to the fascist coup in the white house?? USA forever weak?
Mohsen Mahdawi, who has been a green-card holder for 10 years, was detained at an ICE field center in Vermont while appearing for a naturalization test — a key step on the path to U.S. citizenship. wapo.st/3Y36270
We have become what we have allowed! WHEN? When are those with power going to call for this to end by any means possible? This is not a wait for the election moment. This is a time to realize that there will NOT be another free election and the courts are impotent.
The letter obtained by NPR marks a rare bipartisan critique from Capitol Hill of the administration's immigration policy.
And what about the two gay guys in there too? The soccer player and the cosmetic artist. Or all the 200+ sent their without due process. And the fascist traitor has continued to send men there without due process even after the SCOTUS ruling.
"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror
I continue to be amazed that our so-called leaders are not treating this like the extreme crisis with the urgency needed. We need to be doing something for five weeks ago. The traitor gets stronger, gets more agencies under his complete control, along with private companies.
I’ve been saying the same thing for a month. The citizens are in the streets, showing our resistance, and our leaders are not giving it their all.
There’s always been a department of immigration and border security. They started calling it ice in 2003 but plenty of organizations just like it existed before that.
My friend laughed at me when I said if this continues at some point, they’ll take down names of people who don’t go to church, or the church that they sanction
Ice was an organization of hoods for many decades. They often appear to be more lowly than those they hunt down. 1981. I witnessed an ice raid on a hotel in New York. It was a very cold February and those bastards handcuffed people to trees with no coat while they continue to search.
He is a Nazi bastard and has brought us the American gestapo just like I thought he would nine years ago. It has been painful to watch this develop and see our country. Basically do nothing. And now we’re at the final point and still nothing. The courts, ha! Who will compel him?
I’ve been waiting to see how it will go down when his noncompliance with court rulings gets down to the nitty-gritty, and see just how they’re going to hold him or the DOJ accountable
SCOTUS. should’ve never even considered the case and allowed the lower court, ruling to stand without interference.
When will there be a call for a a massive amount of us citizens to show up and demand this place be burned to the ground
🚨 ⚠️ WELP ⚠️ 🚨 I think we know one of the reasons DOGE was infiltrating the federal payroll systems. Multiple sources are telling me that their union dues are no longer being deducted from their paychecks.
When he obviously does not actually have the legal power to do any of these things, why are people acting like they have to comply? It’s way too late now, but I sure do wish the military had gone and taken him out in the first month.
The terms of these deals are more awful than just knowing that there is a deal at all. Besides giving hundreds of millions of $$ in free work to what is sure to be disgusting causes, they have to agree to break what is actually current non-discrimination laws. This wannabe Hitler must be stopped
