I asked Chat GPT something recently about DHS. And it kept telling me Noem was the governor of SD not the Sec of DHS. It also refers to DJT as former President Trump.

Raise your hand if you know who was president in 2020.

Hint: he’s currently president.

Rise up. Speak up. Be counted. Find a #NoKings rally near you. We cannot let nearly 250 years of democracy die on our watch. We must exercise our 1A rights — not only for us but for the generations who will come after us.

The Trump regime’s constant onslaught of cruelty and mounting threats can be scary and demoralizing. That’s their intent.

But the people won’t bow down. On Saturday, we’re gonna speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen. Find a peaceful protest: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Day one of the #RepublicanShutdown.

Eastern Shore Indivisible @esmdindivisible.bsky.social · Oct 1

In the last 30 years, there have been seven shutdowns (including this one). Four of those have occurred under Trump - including the longest one in history that lasted 34 days.
Republicans have control of the House, Senate and the White House. A shutdown means the president is weak. #MDIndivisible

Keep us updated on the proof that Qatar, Iran, etc is financing American protestors of Trump.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Where is @schumer.senate.gov? He is absent. Thankfully we have governors like @govwesmoore.bsky.social, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social that are pushing back on Trump’s planned military occupation of our cities. Because Democratic leadership is MIA. #RemoveSchumer

This reminds me of a quote and it seems appropriate in the context of citizens taking back their communities from the ICE Gestapo:

“When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” - Russell Vought

Thank you, AG, for all the work you do! There aren’t enough characters to fit it all into one post, but you inspire me every day and you are a “go to” trusted resource.

The list of states are activating their NG to deploy (I assume) to blue states.

I’m taking the advice of @hcrichardson.bsky.social and will start flooding the zone with true representations of what America stands for. And this is a great example. Mayor Wu stands tall by standing up for our communities. #WeAreAmerica

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C.

Governors of three states — Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia — are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...

Newsom: What more evidence do we need of how weak and pathetic Trump is that he would send these folks to the exact same location at the exact same time to intimidate people who not only showed up but those that are speaking up to defend our democracy.

From the Eastern Shore of Maryland to communities across the country, patriots are standing up against the lawlessness of this administration.

Thankful for the hundreds of Marylanders who joined our town hall at Chesapeake College today.

We won’t stop fighting — not for one second.

Thank you for traveling to the Eastern Shore. It was a pleasure to hear you speak and answer our questions. Appreciate all of your efforts in speaking out and defending veterans, federal workers, immigrants —— democracy itself.
