Indivisible Twin Cities @indivistwincities.bsky.social · 6d

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! 👏❌👑

7 million No Kings protesters and the only arrests today that I read about were Trumpers in Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilkes-Barre, PA who showed up flashing their guns at people. But please tell us again about how today was going to be nationwide riots caused by violent left wing Antifa terrorists. 😂😂😂

Trump was determined to get boots on the ground in Portland. But blue state governors and a principled Trump-appointed federal judge were equally determined to prevent that. My write-up on this weekend’s game of whack-a-militia in the replies.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Good and realistic piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social

Our most populous, most productive, most powerful, and most federal-tax-paying state can do more to throw its weight around. And stop a bully.

Illinois just joined the legal fight to keep Trump from sending red states National Guards into blue states. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Once you start looking for evidence that soft secession might happen you see it everywhere: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rep. Ted Lieu is so good at this.

The image is an X post by Rep. Ted Lieu (@RepTedLieu
) from 3 hours ago, with the caption "Hmmm... weird." The post includes a meme with three panels. The first panel, labeled "Republicans when they have to vote on the Epstein files," shows an empty hallway with an American flag. The second panel, labeled "Republicans when there's a government shutdown," shows an empty conference room. The third panel, labeled "Republicans when it's time to cut taxes for billionaires," shows a group of people clapping and cheering.

“They just see us as little toy soldiers to put on the street to show some muscle.”

Alex, a National Guard recruiter who requested anonymity to speak freely, told Mother Jones that the DC mission has deterred potential recruits and pushed soldiers to their breaking points.

The National Guard soldier pissed about Trump’s DC takeover

“This is an encroachment on everything we signed up for and it feels like a violation.”

Oh the prescient and righteous critiques of the only Black woman on the court “test her colleagues’ patience”? Hmmm gosh, wonder what’s going on there…

Larry Glickman @larryglickman.bsky.social · Jul 5

The claim that her opinions have tested “her colleagues’ patience” strikes me as a form of what I have called “elite victimization.” The Court’s majority has made a series of radically extremist decisions—taking away a Constitutional right, offering Trump seemingly unlimited immunity etc.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”

Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?

There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?
