@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social You are being stupid Joe. The Republicans aren’t worried about 10 years from now and the Democrats calling them terrorists and cracking down on their rights because Democrats don’t do that kind of thing. Democrats are for rights, fairness and helping people.

Hard to believe a year ago the media had the public in a panic after all that breathless reporting about drones and absolute crickets now on this savagery 😡

This is not what the video shows happened. ICE hit the black car and dragged the woman out screaming.

God damn it- being in the country without documents is a fucking MISDEMEANOR. And a civil misdemeanor to boot. I was always taught that it is impermissible for law enforcement to draw weapons on suspects of misdemeanor offenses unless they are under direct threat. WTF?

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

On Jan 6 2021, Trump was the President. I recall Biden was locked out of everything trying to transition because Trump was so petty.

The “crowd” on Jan 6th was nothing to do with Biden because he wasn’t President yet. That was on Trump’s first watch.

Can we say 25th amendment? Because I think trump is losing the plot.

Another way to make a difference ... Call and let the military know that trumps threats to use the Military against Americans is not ok. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Unprecedented constitutional crimes every day, & yet somehow it’s still not the main front page headline every day. The noise is getting covered. The signal is absent.

Grudgie the Whale @grudgie.bsky.social · 15d

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 15d

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund government AND save your health care.

Help make sure Americans know Republicans are SO determined to let premiums DOUBLE that they would rather SHUTDOWN the government than work to avert this crisis.

So Trump will use the money from the tariffs, to bail out farmers who are suffering because of the tariffs. Got it.

Not only can states prosecute felonious federal officials, it is a tactic that has been championed by some on the right, as I discuss here.

States can step into the breach

Just because Pam Bondi won't hold Trump's thugs accountable doesn't mean they're above all laws.
