We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽
Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

Surprising how everyone goes on about how stupid T. is when he and his team are expert in controlling the news cycle.. We invaded a sovereign nation and stole their oil, T.'s goons murdered a soccer mom, but the press talks about Greenland! TRUMP PEACE PRIZE! And pass the peas.

The desert holds a quiet kind of beauty.
Branches rise toward a wide, open sky.
Light moves slowly across ancient land.
Stillness settles in every direction.
The desert reminds you beauty endures.

Trump’s plan has been clear: terrorize Americans, attack them, shoot them in the face, and create as much chaos as possible — whatever it takes. Then use the chaos he manufactured to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The playbook is transparent by now. Send National Guard or ICE to Democrat controlled cities under the pretext of "security." 2. Create a scandal by arresting citizens and beating them in public. 3. Send in more troops. This ends by having ICE police elections, asking for ID at polling places.

It seems futile to point this out, but: Given Melania's slavic roots, and Trump's dark past with Putin, given that Mar-a-Lago was a center of sex traffic which converged with hot Russian spy-girls and honey traps, isn't it reasonable that Putin has video of Trump being nasty in the Epstein files?

Why does everything have to be proved in a court of law before Trump judges? There's no due process for immigrants, blacks, women...Why not trust the hundreds of women abused by this man?
We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

Finally, someone speaking out.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Looks like it's full-bore POLICE STATE boys and girls.
"Bystanders and passersby started following the officers, chanting: 'ICE, go home!' The agents stopped at the intersection with Oak Street. Several got in vans that drove away. For another 15 minutes, the crowd of protesters around them grew bigger, yelling 'shame,'" reports @chicagotribune.com

Fascinating analysis of "kids these days."
Chart from "The Anxious Generation." How do we reverse this? We get young people to stop spending 5-9 hours a day on social media and video games, and we get them back to real life.

Exactly. When he discussed making porn movies with Stormy Daniels, it wasn't just a seduction come-on. She took him seriously enough to believe that he wanted to make money off porn movies. He had means, (Miss Universe Pageants) and backers (Epstein)

It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.

Exactly the point. The raid is the message. FEAR is the message. POWER is the message. Call it what you want: FASCISM, dictatorship, authoritarian government. It's here now. You are being watched, controlled, surveilled, raided and made to shut up and watch cartoons. Good luck America.
