An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11.

#NoKings
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.
Yesterday, @annabower.bsky.social attended a hearing in Georgia over the Justice Department's search warrant that allowed the FBI to seize thousands of ballots.
Read her deep dive into the warrant and its supporting documentation:
No Kings is a tactic, not the finish line. This administration wants to steal your vote. Millions of us are saying not on our watch — and Saturday is just the beginning of how we prove it. Be there & let your voice roar. 👑 🚫

If the ID I use to drive and fly, it’s not enough to vote, that’s voter suppression and a poll tax
…
As we head into the fourth week of the Iran war, the American people - and our troops - deserve clear, accountable, and honest leadership.
We're getting the opposite.
Congratulations, Twin Cities! But I’m surprised this piece got past Trump propagandist Bari Weiss.
An upcoming hearing in the case may force an FBI agent to testify about the extraordinary affidavit that backed the bureau’s search and offer new insights into the motives behind the raid. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Gomez to Gabbard and Racliffe: "If the president can just ignore what you're doing, why do you even have a job? Why even advise him? You're saying the president can say tomorrow China is an imminent threat no matter what the intelligence says, and then he can take his own action."
US intelligence concluded yesterday that IRAN WAS NOT REBUILDING NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT CAPACITIES DESTROYED LAST YEAR BY THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL!
CONTRADICTING A KEY JUSTIFICATION BY THE PEDOPHILE FOR HIS WAR ON IRAN...
13 DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS SO FAR ...
HUNDREDS INJURED OR MAIMED ... SO FAR!
According to @juddlegum.bsky.social at Popular information, the Trump regime has offered at least 17 different explanations for going to war with Iran, including
* Trump started the war to secure freedom for the Iranian people
*The war is a response to Iran’s efforts to interfere in U.S. elections

Fuck you Trump.
Fuck you Noem.
Fuck you GQP.
Fuck you MAGAts.
Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."
Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."
Show up, create chaos, scare the shit out of the citizens, and when one freaks out and tries to run, shoot her. The death penalty for disobeying ICE.
Then, when you go to court, lie about how "in danger" you felt.
Didn't we just claim we rescued Venezuela from a dictator attacking his own citizens?
