This is what happens when 1/3 of eligible voters don't vote.

For-profit 'detention centers' are actually concentration camps. ICE has quotas and bonuses for detaining people. Legal alien residents are being imprisoned w/o trial, then deported. We must hold this regime responsible! If we don't, we're as complicit in these actions as they are!

I'd prefer not to give Donnie Demento & Kegsbreath a reason to declare martial law during this election process. We don't need a few people creating a reason that can/will be used against us. We had one major insurrection in 1860, a small one Jan6 2001, we don't need a third that risks the Union.

As AG, Blanche controls the DOJ. The U.S. Marshals Service is part of the DOJ. If the judge orders the arrest of Blanche for contempt, do you really think the US Marshalls will arrest him? Blanch can (and should be) impeached and removed. That's why November is so critical for our survival!

Public monies are not used to pay these settlements. State/local government law enforcement agencies carry insurance to cover claims like this and those premiums are paid with tax money. I'm more concerned w tax monies buying 'military surplus' for police forces around the country.

NO! What you're describing is a military coup which would destroy the very Constitution you think you're protecting. There are constitutional means to do what you want, they're called elections. It's a slow process but violence would irreparably fracture the Union of States.

There was a time when there was a balance between workers' pay and corporate profits. That balance disappeared w tax cuts for the wealthy/corporations. Now, corporate shareholders reap the majority of benefits from labor. Tax the rich/corporations enough to restore that balance w living wages!

F47 was mentally incompetent to be POTUS in 2017 and his dementia is becoming even more dangerous. What bothers me most of all is the impact he's having around the world. Shutting down USAID alone is responsible for 100s of thousands of unnecessary deaths in Africa. And he's not done yet.

The dementia-addled occupant of the White House is a pathological liar, conman, rapist, and pedophile. Why would we expect a man whose business was convicted of multiple felonies and personally convicted of fraud use government funds appropriately as provided by Congress and according to the law?

It's reassuring to know that DOGE and other budget cuts have gutted the very agencies that keep track of these kinds of outbreaks. Oh, wait! No, no, it's not reassuring at all.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. whenweallvote.org

This goes well beyond a conspiracy, it's a criminal enterprise of epic proportions. Historians will be dissecting it and revealing the depth and breadth of this cabal's activities for decades to come. We need to know the truth!

This doesn't end with the midterm elections, if they happen. There are millions of Americans who support this ideology and will still be a powerful force. The damage done to the American image as the beacon of democracy will never be regained!

AG Bondi publicly announced the DOJ solely existed to act as F47's law firm, to support his policies. Blanche keeps proving he's still Dementia Donnie's defense attorney.

We're so distracted by what Dementia Donnie is doing when he's awake, his nodding off in public is only a footnote. What scares me the most is that if he's removed from office or dies, Vance takes control.

Stock buy-backs used to be illegal until Reagan. Corporations now control most of the US economy. That power means they control our political system too.

The thermal expansion of water is too often overlooked. 71% of the Earth's surface is water. That's a huge volume of water! Melting glacial waters will add even more. What really concerns me is disruption of the global gyre that creates moderate temps around the world.

Not mentioned is that a pardon also eliminates any financial penalties/restitution ordered by the court at sentencing.

I'm on Medicare. I had cataracts and needed new lenses. There were 2 options: distance/medium/close or distance/medium. Medicare only covered d/m because d/m/c were considered "cosmetic" because you wouldn't have to wear cheaters to read anything close. I couldn't afford the extra $300 for each eye.

The balance between worker and management compensation was lost during Reagan's terms. Corporate emphasis is now shareholders and CEOs. As more of the Middle Class descend into poverty, protest is minimized as people have to struggle to just survive.

His first impeachment was related to a quid pro quo w Ukraine where he withheld US aid to Ukraine until they found 'dirt' on the Bidens.

The greedy have not only gotten greedier, they've bought control of the government to better improve the methods to exploit the working poor. It's been that way for over a century, the rich have been more successful in the past 45 years than ever before. Are we ready for Great Depression 2.0?

Why is my greatest fear for November is that the Moron in the White House will: a. Declare martial law b. Send federal forces to polling places in Democratic areas c. Declare 'national emergency' to stop election d. Initiate some other horrific dystopian assault on democracy e. All of the above

It's for a judge to determine the validity of whether it should be dismissed or not! Since when does the AG also act as the judge in any lawsuit? Can we just impeach Blanche and get a real people's attorney appointed AG? This is all part of the planned coup d'etat of US Democracy!

ICE is an ex-judicial organization. Detaining someone does not mean they enter the legal process where they have a right to a lawyer, hearings or other legal rights. As one concentration camp spokesman said: 'The Constitution doesn't apply here.' How many pardoned Jan6 are now employed by ICE???
000
Larry_in_WI @larry1504.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
ICE facilities are concentration camps! Giving them euphemistic names like 'detention centers' only hides their true purpose. Besides raking in profits, their intent is to terrorize, intimidate and dehumanize detainees, a direct violation of US and international genocide laws. The US is in trouble!

The Earth will survive. What won't survive are thousands of other species that can't adapt quickly or can't migrate. Human civilization will be altered perhaps collapse but societies' remnants will remain. It could take thousands of years so it's anyone's guess what humanity will be like then.
