It’s more probable they will and in turn we will be but we must press on and do what we can.

Here’s another perspective. We are a huge land mass with millions upon millions of people. They have surveillance but still … it’s a lot of people to incarcerate/kill.

Steven Miller’s group suing John Roberts. Doubtful it will “go anywhere.” So why bother? 🤷🏻

Sending a message: MAGA can rewrite laws affecting Federal Courts. Listen to the end.

To knowingly & falsely cast blame on the reporter, Signal app & publicly expose Pentagon’s clear policy is UNFORGIVABLE‼️

While lawyers fight & judges rule on our behalf, we have GOT show up & stand firm in protests & boycotts.

Governor Tim Walz is doing exactly what Biden and Harris should have been doing.

He's speaking out. He's holding Town Hall meetings. He's doing the news shows. He's condemning Musk and Trump.

He's DOING what great leaders do.

💯 Don’t believe reports of anonymous Republican politicians claiming no push back due to fear. All are complicit & have been compensated & have been promised greater rewards.

"Unfortunately, rather than be shocked by each time Trump or one of his closest allies utter something openly authoritarian, we need to take a step back and realize that the Republican Party has become an authoritarian political party."

Transcript: Musk’s Threats Darken as Trump Declares Himself Above Law

An interview with Steven Levitsky, a scholar of democratic breakdown, who explains how the latest threats from Trump and Elon Musk show telltale signs of a country slipping into authoritarian rule.
