Former Navy, Submarine Service Cold Warrior; sick of 'winger trash; hope to make it through the next four years without being jailed as part of the "woke mob" by Ron DeSantis' stormtroopers or the Mango Mussolini's brownshirts. Resistance is *necessary*...

"Why doesn't Chicago want us to zip-tie more naked children in the middle of the night and shove them, screaming, into vans? So ungrateful for refusing our kind, helpful offer to help!"

Nick Fuentes just got kicked off Spotify—his “America First” podcast can’t even compete with basic decency. Platforms finally saying: nope, hate speech stays off the charts. 💀🎧

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Trump LIES that Blue cities are full of "insurrection" & "rebellion" in a deliberate bad-faith scheme to justify invoking the Insurrection Act to control America like a dictator.

But there's NO insurrection, only patriots with signs & frog costumes.

Keep exposing his un-American lies.

#FDT #ETTD

Quote by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything---and I guess we all are questioning that right now---the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked....they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

It is foolish to contend that we can somehow avoid the hard politics of climate action by rendering the challenge into a bloodless infrastructure problem somehow immune to the power & influence of the fossil fuel industry.

Twitter post by Stephen Lacey regarding the cancellation of the 6.2 GW Esmeralda 7 Project stating: "This is also a story about weaponizing veto points. These cancellations are direct retribution for fights over coal, KeystoneXL & LNG exports.

We absolutely need to phase out fossils as fast as possible. But this is the other side of the coin when infrastructure gets political."

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
