"Why are you so nervous."

Being jumped and stalked by militarized armed masked goon squads in body armor and camo running facial recognition on people against their will tend to have that effect. Get a f-cking mirror.

ICE — Q: Why aren’t you in school?

Good discussion with @gregsargent.bsky.social on No Kings and the right to protest: "They’re trying to turn it into something really evil. But that’s because they’re scared of it, and they know it turns public opinion... I think they should be worried, because nothing they’re doing is popular."

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Millions came out for the last #NoKings protests.

These will be even bigger.

They want to scare people into not showing up.

Show up. Exercise your Constitutional rights. Be in community with all those who believe in democracy.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Mike Johnson: "With regard to Grijalva, our dear friend Julia Letlow won a special election in 2021. Speaker Pelosi took 25 days to administer the oath of office to her. No Democrats jumped up and down and screamed about that ... you do it as soon as you're able to do it."

If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.
