Seriously, this man has gone fucking mad with power. He and his goon squad and his shitty ass kissing propaganda channels need to be gone NOW! And they all need to be arrested too.

Going to start arresting Democratic governors and mayors, and as he said re NYC "we have a lot of power to run things in the federal government" if he doesn't like election results.

And I have to be dreaming because it still looks to me like congressional Democrats still think this is business as usual, telling themselves they won't be next as long as they make statements not backed up by action.

Maybe I need some rose colored glasses.

I haven't seen a lot of headline here about action or anything. Bernie's barnstorming was so focused on the oligarchy, he missed the BIG issue of Police State/Totalitarianism... (I feel like the DNC is really just pretending the status quo is gonna work...but we're in a whole brave new fucked up world now.

I'd like to see Dems of ALL stripes banding together, and going to eachother's districts to back each other up...kind like Newsom. (Though I know he's also doing that as a run up to 2028...but there isn't gonna BE an election of we keep going like this)

That part in Handmaid's Tale about them murdering congress...? feels closer every day

They are having a hard time controlling a city of 10 million as it is.

The best they can manage is daily terrorism raids, but actual control of the city? Fuggedaboutit.

Even if they deployed all 10,000 new ICE officers to LA, they still wouldn’t be able to control the entire population of the city.

Americans do have a "limit" and if they continue
that limit will be reached. When big money begins
to have problems, they will back down or RWRE = right wing religious extremists
Remember that ALL of this is project 2025 and white "christian" nationalists
