See @timothysnyder.bsky.social ‘s People’s Cabinet idea. Pick a Dem for each one of the orange clown’s policies or, when it comes to bird flu, the price of eggs, etc., the lack thereof. Hit the topics hard. W/ cabinet picks being nominated, time is of the essence. Go on the offensive. Don’t let up.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Filming ICE committing crimes is apparently impeding their ability to commit crimes with impunity, so now they can arrest you for that. Using your 1st amendment rights and the video camera in your phone is now a crime.
And the whistles really seem to piss them off.

This bit. It's also worth noting that what Fox News is good at--REALLY good at--is knowing when to mix truth into lies to fold it into an overarching narrative (the narrative being described below). Whenever there is an actual weakness or failure from the left, they SEIZE upon that and...fold it in.
liberals who are unfamiliar with fox dont understand the way in which the network molds the pov of its viewers. its not just cnn with some occasional conservative takes thrown in. its a daily narrative of how the left is fucking you over and how brave conservatives are fighting for you. DAILY.
