#RespectElections HQ. I may be stone and metal, but I still have feelings. If you see @speakerjohnson.bsky.social, tell him he’s making me sad. Parody (obvs).

Compassionate assassinism
Military honors for Ashli Babbitt "tells those who gave their lives in defense of the Constitution that their oath was no more meaningful than the motivations of the mob that attacked the Constitution."
Benny Johnson is as shameless as they come
Lacked detachment, though that was also the choice of writers and directors
Finally
Would watch (but I’m obviously an outlier in terms of leisure time

He looks awful
Oh yes. Best venue.
Ain’t about crime
Thank you on this labor day!!
They’re hiding something, and it’s not just the Epstein files
Reupping, just have to continue asking I guess
Depends on midterms… let’s put more numbers on the board people
Impeachments by Presidential term: Obama 1: [none] Obama 2: [none] Trump 1: TWO Biden 1: [none] Trump 2: TBD
QAnon memes were not a small part of what mobilized Trump’s January 6th mob. Ignoring this is a dangerous mistake and we are making it twice.
Could have been clearer: MEDIA has to tell the public what is going on here, not understaff the beat or pretend it isn’t newsworthy
Demand the media cover it correctly and click on their links and retweet them when they do
No one is immune. Understanding this is the start of getting better.

Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.
"Attempt to violently install a dictator ONE TIME and suddenly that's all anyone thinks about you, geeze laweeze."
How long are they going to keep pretending he isn’t incapacitated
donald trump has been convicted of more felonies than 99.9% of Washington DC residents.
January 6th is the crux of many issues, so yes talk about it
The details are, let’s say, still hazy
Look up classless jackass in the dictionary and it’s just a picture of Ryan “Chooses Violence” Nichols
What a jackass he is

Thoughts and prayers for all the dummies who actually think Trump is Q+
When someone you think is your buddy hustles you
Oof
Never Trumpers were right about everything
My favorite is this happened and they didn’t even tell him at the time, just hoped he wouldn’t notice 😂
This regime only honors traitors and insurrectionists. Have you noticed?
Completely
The New York Times, like, knows what is happening here. But for reasons, they don’t just say it.
"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:
The violent attackers gonna get a frickin monument before Congress hangs the J6 Plaque @thejan6plaque.bsky.social
Hey D.C. friends! If you see billboards or posters in the District from @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social demanding federal agents take off their mask, be sure to take a picture and share it!
Most likely correct as to his intention The laws of biology may have different plans tho
"The idea that the law is a weapon the president uses to protect his friends and harass his enemies was brought into American politics by one man," Jonathan Chait writes. "He now happens to be the one man who is very definitively above the law":
Oh they love it, love it so much
And counterintelligence, for that matter
Thank you, Denise. 🙏
This is the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6. It was approved by Congress 3 years ago, but the GOP won't allow it to be installed. It is sitting in a Capitol basement utility room surrounded by tools and maintenance equipment. But Ashli Babbitt.....
Still haven’t installed @thejan6plaque.bsky.social
At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.
Tough, but fair
Thank you, Nina
"Once MAGA brands you as an enemy, your fortunes shift. No amount of strategic silence will change your new identity, so you may as well lean into it." I wrote about why I chose—and keep choosing—to speak up and fight back. wiczipedia.substack.com/p/on-resisti...
cc: everyone in a position of power and responsibility
Forcing them to fight for every inch - and escalating every conflict to the utmost - spends their time, their legal resources, and makes each subsequent battle RISKIER for them rather than SAFER, as you’re constantly testing public acquiescence and you never know when popular opposition might emerge
So much of their power flows from the way people quietly bow out of their way, forcing them to expend essentially no political capital to shred vital and popular institutions. And then, having done so, they look even stronger, and it’s even easier next time.
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
Get active. Activate others. Speak out. Stand up for the institutions that can still resist and have shown willing to.
Correct. 😩
We can when there aren’t troops in city streets and the president stops saying there are no limits to his power
Just say it like it is. This set of people, together, might be what it takes to clearly explain the authoritarian takeover and command enough attention to make it stick.
Joint statement by Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton
Culture wars stuff is a weapon to get you to not condemn problems and demand obvious solutions
Regardless of the beliefs of the shooter, I condemn this and call on policymakers to reduce the number of guns in America. See how easy that is
Thank you 🙏
One woman's push to get recognition for the officers who responded to the Capitol on Jan 6th 2021. @thejan6plaque.bsky.social @brendanballou.bsky.social @libradunn1.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/roberta8...
Imaginary stuff is MAGA’s specialty
Woof thank goodness
People have exactly as much power over you as you let them.
Mean streets
It is now April 2027. Donald Trump is insisting that he has stopped "1,027 wars" and Donald Trump is claiming that drug prices have fallen "one billion percent" and Donald Trump is stating as fact that someone is murdered in Chicago every 0.03 seconds. Reporters have made no effort to correct him.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
THAT’S BECAUSE KOREAN WOMEN WERE THE VICTIMS OF SYSTEMIC EXPLOITATION AND SEXUAL ASSAULT AT THE HANDS OF THE JAPANESE but who would expect you to care about that
Again, the WSJ repeats this idea the Bad Things were hard to "imagine." (They did this last week with the Bolton editorial.) Not hard to imagine. He said he would do this stuff. His critics pointed that out. And many people refused to believe it.
👎
Important to the public interest to know
Follow up: WHO is telling you they might want a dictator
Aside from anything else, it is a national emergency that the president of the United States has lost his mind.
This is Hegseth covering his own butt But yes barf 🤮
His fists are in no state this week, for one thing
Feeble and getting feebler
Unpaywalled link here. Ed Martin should really stay away from Jan 6 cases if he has his own best interests at heart. archive.is/clViN
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
Apparently the "media outlet" that posted this story has raised over $350k on GiveSendGo for their completely fabricated engagement bait. To start to balance the scales, support my legal fund here: www.gofundme.com/f/help-nina-... Or my nonprofit here: www.americansunlight.org/donate
How can anyone not understand the power of language after what we’ve lived through
Not only do words matter, inflation materially did not matter in 2024 (or 2022 when it was much worse and recent, and Democrats won big) It’s likely words and the ways people talk about the candidates matters way more than economic conditions or anything else
Perfect
Nice!
I’ll believe it when I see the cap table
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Not pictured: Patel doing amazing work and proving Bolton wrong
What a bozo
And yet the @thejan6plaque.bsky.social remains stuffed away out of sight and all those brave police get shafted. It’s disgusting.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum with Trump and police in DC: “You have always during your entire life supported law enforcement.” Capitol Police would like a word.

Bolton held back in his book on how stupid Trump is, bet he wishes he hadn’t
Sort of stupid of them picking Bolton to do this with. He isn’t going to lie down for it. That’s what failure to develop impulse control can do, though!
Iconic I want one too
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
In court Bolton’s lawyers should demand Gov produce all the stuff relating to Kash Patel’s personal involvement
We should all be alarmed
