Our next president will be a Democrat or Progressive. He or she will literally have to appoint a cabinet which will have the task of literally putting the country back together again. My question is will four years be enough time?

When a regime is willing to execute its own citizens who are protesting against oppression to silence them, it's time for us to assess our roles as citizens. The Declaration of Independence tells us that we not only have the RIGHT to remove an oppressive regime, we have the OBLIGATION to do so.

The raid at the South Shore neighborhood housing project was practice for the Fourth Reich's "troops". Remember Trump saying he wants to use blue cities as practicing grounds for his military?

If we Democrats, Progressives, and anyone else who's sick of the Fourth Reich could weigh in on selecting a shadow government, who would they be? Who would you choose as President, VP, Secretary of State, Chief of Staff, and the other cabinet members?

I think it's safe to say at this point that immigrants trying to do things the right way should not probably attend their court hearings. The immigration judges are dismissing their cases & throwing them out into the corridor where ICE agents are waiting.

This is meant for members of our military, particularly the National Guard and Marines. Today we saw a disgraceful exhibition of the abuse by a sitting president of the use of military to intimidate residents of one of our cities. You took an oath. I am seeing a violation of that oath playing out.

I beg of you to make the toughest decision of your life, and that is to stand down and refuse to be a part of the disgraceful conduct we witnessed at a MacArthur Park in LA. It was beneath honor.

US plans to deport Abrego Garcia to a country that's not El Salvador, prosecutor tells judge What happened to innocent until proved guilty? If he's found not guilty of these human trafficking charges, why should he be deported at all?

Trump is now considering federalizing the NG across the entire country. This is the proposal of a weak desperate individual who sees his numbers tanking on every issue. When such a person is cornered is when he is the most dangerous.

Hegseth faces sharp questions from Congress on deploying troops to Los Angeles and Pentagon chaos This will cost the taxpayers $134 million! And for what? So ICE can deport immigrants who have paid approximately $51 BILLION in federal taxes just for one year alone? What kind of math is this?

I think we must say it like it is. Trump is not leading the country. He is reading a script, and sometimes he has difficulty doing even that. The president is actually Stephen Miller with The Heritage Foundation as his VP and Congress.

I am of the belief that Stephen Miller and the other key members of the Heritage Foundation are running the country. They are merely pointing Trump in this direction and that and giving him his script. What do you think?

Donald Trump advocates that Republican lawmakers should not treat protesters at their town halls nicely. Well, that's a two-way street. Voters should not treat Republicans running for office nicely either at the polls. START WITH LOCAL ELECTIONS between now and the midterms. Vote them out.

This was my post nine days ago. Just look at Hitler's first 53 days as chancellor. This was an easy prediction. And now Trump is trying to make this a reality. He is running through Hitler's playbook page by page.

Trump's next step is to propose a bill that mimics WWII Nazi Germany's The Enabling Act of 1933. This allowed Hitler to sidestep the judiciary entirely and was the pivotal step to Germany's ending its social democracy. WE THE PEOPLE have to wake up. This is exactly where Trump is healing.

Trump just told President Bukele ON VIDEO that his next groups after immigrants to be sent to San Salvador's prison labor camps will be "homegrown" Americans. He actually laughed and used the term "homegrown". He suggested to Bukele that he needs to build more prisons. THEY LAUGHED. 🧵

I hope we as a country are realizing that Trump is a Trojan Horse being directed by types like Stephen Miller. He is sending human beings to slave labor prisons in San Salvador with no criminal records or due process. This is both IMMORAL and not representative of what our founders envisioned.

Susman Godfrey statement: "The executive order targeting Susman Godfrey is unconstitutional and retaliatory. No administration should be allowed to punish lawyers for simply doing their jobs … As officers of the court, we are duty-bound to take on this fight against the illegal executive order."

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

Trump is throwing not just our country into an economic spiral, but also world economies. We need to move him aside through impeachment and conviction by the Senate, but even so, there's nobody in Trump's cabinet, including Vance, who is smart enough to fix the mess.
