This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections
This President is terrorizing our way of life. He sends masked men to tear families apart. He divides us by race and class. He mocks peaceful protest and the rule of law. Our loyalty isn’t to Trump — it’s to this country. And we must proudly stand up for it.
January 6, 2021 was a double gut punch for me. First, I get the call that I would not be the next Attorney General. Then, I saw what you saw as the attack on the Capitol unfolded. We can never forget what we saw that day. We cannot allow anyone to rewrite the history of that day.” #January 6th
🇬🇧 🚨 WATCH: “If Trump decides he wants Greenland, what can we do? What does the end of NATO mean? People around Trump clearly believe if you CAN do something you are allowed to do it.” An important warning from @mrjamesob.bsky.social . (Remember: this is what Putin has always wanted)
I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

1954: The CIA engineers a coup in Guatemala to bring in a government friendly to United Fruit Company, later known as Chiquita. 2026: The Trump regime abducts the leader of Venezuela to bring in a government friendly to oil companies.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
