  2. Conservatives never cared about the 2nd Amendment. They want a military state where only fascists are armed.

  3. It is extraordinary for the #Pentagon, which until the 2nd #Trump term has usually gone out of its way to act & appear apolitical, to directly #threaten a sitting member of #Congress with investigation.

    In its statement, the Pentagon suggested that Kelly’s statements in the video interfered with the “loyalty, morale, or good order & discipline of the armed forces” by citing the federal #law that prohibits such actions.

    how do they #scare #people #straight? #threaten #rejection from #family and #society, justify #hate in the name of #god, spread #myths about #perverts and #molesters, incite fear about #disease, spread #lies about #human #sexuality, threaten rejection from #work and #community, propagate lies about #sin, #publically #humiliate #queers, withhold #information about #sex, erase queers from #history, allow #homophobia on #television...

  8. As #ElonMusk hunts for places to slash fed bureaucracy, the #billionaire has reposted the names & titles of individual govt employees, insinuating they should be fired.

    #DigitalRights experts say the situation has created an unprecedented imbalance in #power. #Musk’s massive online following, his ownership of a #socialmedia platform where he can dictate content #moderation rules, & his position heading #DOGE w/access to private data, give him a unique ability to #threaten …& chill #dissent

  9. In private discussions, the adjective that was most frequently used to describe the #Trump phone call was #rough. The verb most frequently used was #threaten. The reaction most frequently expressed was #confusion. Trump made it clear to Frederiksen that he is serious about #Greenland: He sees it, apparently, as a real-estate deal. But Greenland is not a beachfront property.

  10. Large portions of this country have gone completely insane. We knew that already, but here's further proof, as if any were needed:

    This particular flavor of madness has been metastasizing for almost exactly a decade, since the #Bundy #Ranch standoff. That was the point where the loons found out they could #threaten the #federal #government with armed force and get away with it. And from there to #Malheur to 1/6, we've been treating #domestic #terrorists with suicidal gentleness.

    We made the same mistake after #Appomattox, but it was at least understandable. Almost everyone was sick of killing. Now, after a century and a half of seeing the legacy of that misguided mercy, we have no excuse.

    If these #militias exist, we should hunt them down like the rabid dogs they are, and deal with them accordingly. Whether they do or not, those calling for their existence are suborning #insurrection: *that* would be an appropriate use for "seditious conspiracy," as opposed to the charges of #treason that should be levied against the 1/6ers.

    But we won't. And when the Republic falls, it will be because we refuse to face up to this cancer on the body politic. Unpleasant but survivable treatment now, or slow agonizing death later. Those are our only choices. So far I'm not optimistic about which option we'll take.

  11. The #union noted in its statement that #federal #law prohibits #workers from being #fired for going on strike & that threatening to do so is #illegal under the National Labor Relations Act.

    "The #UAW has filed federal #labor charges against disgraced billionaires Donald #Trump & #ElonMusk for their illegal attempts to #threaten & intimidate #workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes," the union said in a stmnt issued by spox Jonah Furman.

  12. #Steinglass points out #MichaelCohen could have told whoppers about #Trump or attributed far more damaging comments to him. Steinglass says that Cohen didn’t do any of that “because he’s limited by what actually happened.”

    #Steinglass reframes Cohen for the #jury. “Michael Cohen was really more of the defendant's #fixer than his #lawyer,” he says, calling Cohen “the guy w/the boots on the ground that could #bully people & #threaten them w/lawsuits.”
