Maybe, just maybe, the violent attacks by ICE on Americans, caught on video—assaulting a 19-yr-old girl protesting, assaulting a pastor, descending on an apt building from Black Hawks, terrorizing & zip tying traumatized children & adults in the middle of the night..the country will finally rise up!

Diane B. @prvoice.bsky.social · 9d

As the rule of law crumbles under Trump, so is our Democracy. With the Supreme Court Court enabling Trump to assume autocratic powers with zero restraint, how does does our nation survive?

The Supreme Court has supported Trump in every ruling, it’s alarming & painfully obvious that the six extremist justices are doing everything in their power to help Trump destroy our Democracy and federal gov., execute Project 2025, & create an authoritarian state.

Opinion | The Real Stakes of the Shutdown

Diane B. @prvoice.bsky.social · 14d

In effect, Mr. Trump’s position is that Democrats must either support his plans to slash important public services, or else he will slash important public services. He is confronting Congress, and the American people, with a pair of bad options — and no alternatives.

YouTube Settles Trump Lawsuit Over Account Suspension for $24.5 Million

Diane B. @prvoice.bsky.social · 14d

Trump declared war on his own citizens, calling for U.S. cities to be used as “training grounds” for troops to confront an “invasion from within.” Thankfully, our military has not embraced this, & hopefully Congress & Supreme Court will soon find their spines. Fuck you, Trump. @altnps.bsky.social

The way tech and media corporations are settling with Trump for absurd, astronomical amounts rather than stand by their principles & our Democracy under attack by an autocratic administration is revolting.

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

Diane B. @prvoice.bsky.social · 15d

Two more mass shootings in the last 24 hours by white MAGA men under 40. Both were white men, veterans.

The first attacked a bar and blamed queer people for his mental health issues. The second attacked a Mormon church and had MAGA paraphernalia all over his home.

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”
