Great way to stoke instability around the world and trigger conflicts that the U.S. will eventually claim it needs to intervene in. And the war machine grinds on.

was having trouble finding clear visual/video explainer of the legal authority used in Trump national guard order so made this TT— leaned heavily on @stevevladeck.bsky.social ‘s writing on this (thank you!!) and all errors of ofc my own (and @annabower.bsky.social will explain them to me eventually)
Thank you!
What makes the law firm capitulation particularly egregious—beyond choosing to abandon targeted groups—is that the capitulation is also inherently betting that the authoritarians will win and the capitulations will be rewarded. Their bet will lose. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
America, this is so utterly embarrassing.
We can’t and shouldn’t wait on the Democratic Party to figure it out. Organic, grassroots responses to layups like this will lead to the slam dunks we need. #bigbeautifulbill
The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.
@mariajstephan.bsky.social would be great to connect and have you join a @mass50501.bsky.social event!
The right now wants to pardon Officer Chauvin who was convicted of killing George Floyd. Chauvin had his knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. This led to the biggest protests this country has ever seen.
Trump wants this so he can violently crack down & declare Martial Law.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has *upheld* a lower court's order forcing USAID/State to immediately pay ~$2 billion owed to contractors for work they've alreayd performed.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.
Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.
On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.
President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.
Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.
This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps.

He’s telling us what he wants to do. We would be wise to take him seriously.

The decision to lay off 10% of the CDC will have far reaching implications for Americans. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
Even if we get him out of office tomorrow, we’ll be cleaning up his mess for decades.
Bounty hunters. Let’s call it what it is.
The Russians achieved a battle victory on November 5, but the Cold War (warm war?) is just starting to hit home here in the states as the administration kowtows to Putin’s agenda. Thanks for covering.
Tulsi Gabbard, like DOGE, are intended solely to dismantle our country and sell it for scraps. They will ultimately fail, as autocracies tend to do, but not without first exacting a steep toll on Americans and the world. apple.news/A01S4jqQSSK-...
Exactly. This will ultimately take shape as a fight of the people against these aspiring god-kings.
No coincidences.
I am under no delusions that the USMS will do anything like that. We should be pounding the law to establish legitimacy of the courts. It will make law enforcement easier for other bodies that abide by the constitution.
Quite a coincidence they’re also fomenting a constitutional crisis at the same time. Totally innocuous in nature, I’m sure.
