the party of so called "law and order" simply has no regard for the U.S. Constitution.
βThe lesson of the Trump years is that liberalism and democracy are not self-sustaining. That guardrails are dependent on the courage and wisdom of individuals. That we only get liberalism tomorrow if we choose to protect it today.β @jvl.bsky.social

βEurope has finally learned the lesson that Trump is no aberration or blip, that America is the kind of place that ultimately cannot be trusted to elect reliable stewards for the free world, and that theyβre all just going to have to plan accordingly.β @eggerdc.bsky.social
βA future in which Americaβs erstwhile allies are as willing to freeze us out as we have lately been to freeze them out is one in which America is perpetually lonelier, grimmer, poorer, and less safe.β @eggerdc.bsky.social

If you still support Trump and his administration, I donβt judge you for your choice of political party.
I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.
I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.
So will others. So will history.

βauthoritarians want us tired. They want us confused. They want us too exhausted to fight back. You donβt have to go into the streetsβ¦ You can simply state plainly that our government is lying to us. Say itβ¦ do not let their lies go unanswered by truth.β @jvl.bsky.social
βdo not tolerate false equivalence from responsible quarters. Anyone in public life who cannot call things by their right names here should be shamed, swept aside, and ultimately ignored.β @jvl.bsky.social
βthe federal government is at war withβ¦ the part of the citizenry it deems undesirable. These citizensβ¦ the president dislikesβno longer enjoy the full rights and protections of the Constitution. They belong to a subclass which may be abused, subjugated, or murdered, at the presidentβs discretionβ
βThe murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti was not a mistake, or a tragedy, or a misunderstanding. It was a choice. The president of the United States and his regime saw what its masked agents had done to Renee Good and decided to do more of it, at a larger scale.β @jvl.bsky.social
βthe government didnβt just use masked, armed, unidentified agents of the state to execute a citizen on the street, in broad daylight and in front of dozens of witnessesβit lied about the victim and what happened in the most brazen manner possible.β @jvl.bsky.social
