Next time anyone says that the left is violent, just remind them that there are not hundreds of dead ICE agents in the streets. If the left were in the least bit inclined to violence, we would be seeing those dead agents.

This strikes me as a brilliant idea, especially if it’s friendly to progressives and liberals who are not on board with the Democratic Party. We need alternatives. If we’d had alternatives before 2015, Trump never would have stood a chance.

Blue states should come together to declare an emergency. Here’s how | Thomas Geoghegan

States opposed to Trump can create a compact – a new prototype for American government – even if it’s perceived as political theater

This would be the perfect time to start taking on the traitor king directly and forcefully. Make news by reporting the news.

One would have to be exceedingly stupid to blame the democrats after Trump stated outright that he would use the opportunity to fire employees instead of furloughing. It’s blatantly obvious that he is trying to cause the situation.

There is very little that is truly un-American, but this is anti-American. In this Orwellian age Americans who are loudest to proclaim their patriotism are generally very anti-American.

Even then she would still play this as an attack on ICE agents. It’s all about the agenda to dehumanize people that disagree with the administration and also to paint them as dangerous. That’s how they justify extra-legal crackdowns on innocent civilians.

Will this be the largest fascist rally in the US to date?

The problem with Cato is not their ideology. They, and every other major think tank, distort the truth beyond recognition in support of their agenda.

Iain 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 28d

Even Cato can’t hide the truth. Considering the source I have to assume the right wing percentage is even higher.

Nah, actual fascists are not people to be concerned with. Kirk espoused a violent ideology. He was virulently anti-American. Did he deserve to die? I neither know nor care.

Collaborationists need to be remembered when the enemy is removed from government.

Both are delicious, if you ask me. You didn’t, and now you have no conceivable reason to do so, but it stands.

The biggest problem is that everyone, including the current “president” will say this is something for the administration to fix, while Congress is the body to fix it.

I’ve gone back and forth on this, but finally settled on yes. I wish we had a parliamentary system.

I agree with on much, but this is crazy talk. It does not resemble reality.

Thanks for this. I was unaware of Black Ribbon Day. It seems like a valuable day of remembrance.
