Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

If you’ve never been in the military please understand the majority of us served for you.

We sacrificed time for you.

Most of us are not war mongers.

We served and fought for you.

Unfortunately right now the military is getting used as pawns for a dictator.

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.”
Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

While Americans can’t afford groceries.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Lurkingworry @lurkandworry.bsky.social · 6d

Add to this, the concept of checks and balances has become a joke. Government is flawed. We need fidelity, compassion and community to survive.

Our country is in great danger right now. They’re taking our healthcare. Our voting rights. Our women’s rights. Our civil rights. They’re occupying our cities and debating martial law. The Epstein files have likely been wiped clean. Let’s make sure the same doesn’t happen to our constitution. #FOCUS

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
