Dems need an answer to Project 2025 now @booker.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @captmarkkelly.bsky.social
US military guidelines on the laws of war prohibit troops from pretending to be civilians while engaging in combat.
Secretary Pete "Kegsbreath" & other top officials have been called on by Congress to answer questions and concerns about the actions that also involved the murder of two survivors.
Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) has announced effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem... after deadly shooting by ICE officer in Minneapolis

"An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from—not toward—a federal officer when he opened fire."
Great video analysis of Minneapolis shooting from NYT. These frames show drawing of gun and exact moment of first shot.

Swalwell: "Here's what we can do, bc we're not helpless. We can strip them of their immunity. I'm working on doing that in Congress. We can make sure we don't fund masks and them being unidentified. We also can make sur local prosecutors and attorneys general use their law enforcement authorities."
“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"
A woman is dead in Minneapolis after ICE agents opened fire.
I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.
And no fair investigation is coming from the same system that wanted this confrontation in the first place.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.
Taking Greenland has nothing to do with security. US has rights to reopen many bases and man them with US personnel. This is about taking natural resources to enrich the Billionaire Bros, distract from Epstein and shut down US elections. It is about a bully taking anything he wants.
"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...
@realtexaspaul.com @markwarner.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @maddow.bsky.social @rufusgifford.bsky.social Stop collaborating and start aggressively resisting while we still can. Stoermer teaches in Denmark and the Danes are preparing to defend Greenland. Wake Up!
I saw your Instagram post and agree totally that Dems in Congress need to be far more aggressive and robust in resisting these illegal actions. I fear we are losing the battle and the hope of a midterm victory is blocking the opposition we need NOW. There may be no midterms! No free election.
Promoting the Constitution is of primary importance now. Maybe we need a Constitution Society to hold educational events on the Constitution and promote how unique and vital our constitution is to our democracy. Every member would swear an oath to uphold it just as military and public servants.
Will the drone pilots killing these people be subject to international court of justice prosecution? Will King Donald also be prosecuted?
Well, he and his dear old daddy used to attend KKK "rituals" together, so yeah, def tracks.
Step 1 is taking control of the House from GOP and Mike Johnson.
Step 2. Countering all efforts to rig elections
Step 3. Winning mid-terms and throwing as many in both parties out who will not defend democracy and rule of law
Step 4. Taking back White House
Step 5. Reforming USG to serve its people
#Groceries I just went to the store and the pet store. I spent $50 on cat food (last year it would have been $30) and $125 on groceries (last year it would have been around $80). My ancestors came to escape oppression and tyranny. We now have both plus the economy is going to pot and things cost $$$
If we save democracy we need a plan to make sure it is harder to have a coup again.
Expand to SCOTUS and put on term limits and ethics reform
Put districting in the hands of non-partisan committees
Reestablish Voting Rights Act
Codify norms Trump has disregarded
Get money out of politics

Project 2026
The opposition needs a coherent strategy to oppose all Trump and Co are doing. Shadow cabinet to counter all press briefings and say what opposition would do instead. We need a shadow government and a shadow agenda.
