Are you fighting for us? Because I see a lot of political violence targeting us and very few of you saying anything about it.

My vote in every election from now until I die will hinge entirely on the % of all Republicans the candidate promises to imprison.

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

Meanwhile, our so-called "representatives" are frittering away our future, focusing solely on healthcare while terrorists disappear citizens with impunity.

We truly are on our own.

What now?

There is no federal government anymore, only terrorists disappearing people.

It is a state of emergency and our representatives are fretting about fucking healthcare.

What a fucking shit show.

Madness. In jail, in another state, since Sunday, clarinetist Oriana Korol is a 38-year-old child and family therapist, a U.S. citizen and mom with a 3 y.o.

Sound dangerous?

The Sheriff says she is being held on suspicion of assault on a federal officer. But, not charged yet?

Habeas corpus, kids!

The US government has fallen. It no longer exists. States are forced to protect their citizens FROM the feds.

There is nothing else worth discussing.

The Democratic Party has completely failed the American people.

We are on our own.

What now?

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 11h

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

That ANY Democratic official is talking about ANYTHING else is disgraceful, disrespectful and unacceptable.

"Cancel culture" is a lie made up by right-wing propagandists to perpetuate the specious myth that they are victims to be pitied.

Eat my ass and hair.

THIS is our reality. American citizens subjected to human rights violations daily, by violent, unidentified and unaccountable terrorists.

Focus on that.
