The true beneficiaries of Project 2025 are not gloating on social media. They’re likely not even using social media, except for Elon. You may see people celebrating it, but only because it hasn’t impacted them yet. But it will. And then they’ll realize none of this was done for them but to them.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 4h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

This is who Maria Corina Machado really is:

She helped lead the 2002 coup that briefly overthrew a democratically elected president, and signed the Carmona Decree that erased the Constitution and dissolved every public institution overnight.

As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention...

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 1d

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed.

There are no branches. There are no rules.

There is just one man and his truth social posts.

They’re counting on the continued gullibility and blind allegiance of their base. The real terrorICEts are marauding through democratic cities on orders from Noem and Miller hiding behind masks, attacking and kidnapping innocent people.

Scott Smith @canaansdad1987.bsky.social · 11h

Well, we do hate the idea of having a dictator or a king but if there are any terrorists involved, they must be hiding their affinity for terrorism. They just don't like the idea of protests of any kind but the first amendment gives us the right.

Sigh. Will they ever learn? A flag pin doesn’t make one a patriot. Nor does standing for the anthem. Or hugging a flag. That’s all performative bullshit.
