Justice will prevail. The people giving the orders will do prison time and those that follow these orders will be held accountable.

This time in our history needs young people to carry on the fight for democracy. If she still wants to be involved she can do some fundraising for other candidates.

Some of the brightest former CIA, FBI, and NSA minds are about to deliver a blunt assessment of the threat we face. I’ve had Steven Cash (He was awarded the CIA’s Medal of Merit for his work on a sensitive project) @steadystatevets.bsky.social on my podcast...he’s the real deal. Stay tuned.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 21h

Tomorrow, we release the Steady State’s assessment of American democracy—written by former national security officials using the same tools once used to evaluate authoritarian regimes abroad. The conclusion is clear: We are facing an existential threat of growing autocracy here in the US.

This should be considered everywhere. They are kidnapping, abusing, harassing and threatening people who have rights. Every single one of them have rights and they are ignored. What they’re doing is unconstitutional and illegal.
Payback will come.

I heard the initial story, but the story is advancing and getting quite interesting!

We Chicagoans stand against fascist pigs. And this fascist bitch and pedo protector will be serving jail time.
Please remember that fascist protectors and enablers are the first people convicted of crimes when regimes fail. Just following orders is not a legal defense.
Justice will prevail.

Fake Christian con man and protector of pedophiles. Someone should interview his so called adopted son. That would be interesting.

ICE is randomly targeting peaceful protesters because the point is to terrorize the public into accepting martial law.

Indiscriminate attacks send the message that there’s nothing you can do to stay safe.

The regime wants you to cower at home and cede the streets of your city to their control.

bobbymurphy.bsky.social @bobbymurphy.bsky.social · 23h

The reason it’s been effective is because the people have been asked not to fight back for fear of martial law being imposed. That’s only going to last just so long before the people have had enough.

Jacob Soboroff is very brave for this reporting. At a time when other news outlets are cowering in fear, he's fulfilling the highest order of journalism, which is truth telling and holding the powerful accountable.
