Watching #trump get schooled in the negotiations with Iran’s second string government officials (the good ones having been killed) really shows a what a moron Trump is. No way to sugar code it.

I support Trump’s war of choice in Iran with the hope that it will lead to regime change in two countries: Iran & the U.S. Epic Fury? More like Epic F-Up.

I love how all the “f-Russia aid Ukraine” people are all “no regime change in Iran.” Get a coherent world view or go the f home.

Everyone on the left should be cheering for the overthrow of a tyrannical theocracy. Hard stop.

Simple: Iran has religious fanatic gov’t & enforced by the Iranian Revolution Guard. Its what the christian right is trying to build here, with ICE/DHS as enforcer. We would support any country that came to our aid. The progressive thing to do is support US attacks on Iran.

This is actually a serious question: why did any dem attend this speech? Is there some rule about that?

I’m not watching the State of the Union and it’s unclear why anyone who is not a Trump sycophant is. Norms are gone & the next Dem president won’t have a single Republican in the audience. It’s totally fine.

Keep it simple in 2026: They’re stealing from working Americans and calling it governance. Don’t get distracted. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

026 slogan (because it’s true): Stop the steal—of your paycheck, your rent, your future. The chaos is just the getaway car. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

If they cared about working Americans, they’d use government to lower costs. Instead, they use government to reward friends and punish enemies. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

The chaos is a smokescreen for a transfer of wealth: away from workers, toward donors, cronies, and connected industries. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

rump’s incentive is not “make life cheaper.” It’s “keep the chaos going.” Chaos weakens oversight. Oversight is the enemy of grift. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

2026 frame: Competence vs. corruption. Affordability is the deliverable. Grift is the obstacle. And distraction is the cover. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

rump doesn’t lack power to help working people. He lacks interest. Affordability requires sustained work. He prefers shortcuts, shakedowns, and headlines. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

Per the DHS's guidance, during a "lapse in appropriations" "Planning (such as strategic or business activities)" STOPS! While the ICE/CBP thugs will get paid during a DHS shutdown, the people who plan more "deployments" won't be working. Yes, SHUT IT DOWN. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul... (page 4)

2026 needs a simple message: They can fix costs. They won’t. Not because they’re powerless—but because the chaos is where the money is. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

LawyerJesse @lawyerjesse.bsky.social · 10/02/2026
Affordability isn’t “unsolvable.” It’s unaddressed. Because fixing it takes focus, competence, and follow-through—and Trump is too busy turning government into a grift machine. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

LawyerJesse @lawyerjesse.bsky.social · 10/02/2026
All the wrangling about why 18 New Yorkers died in the cold spell is laughable: it’s because #nyc has a weird libertarian reluctance to force people out of encampments & off the street. Just move them. Save lives. That is called an activist, progressive government. No excuses!

Distraction is governance when you don’t have a plan. It’s also cover when you’re stealing. Two birds, one outrage cycle. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

Autocracy and affordability are linked: when democratic accountability erodes, leaders can ignore the cost-of-living crisis forever. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

If they can’t solve affordability, they’ll try to make elections less meaningful so it doesn’t matter. That’s the endgame. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

They’ll deploy force, threaten agencies, and pick fights with states — but won’t use lawful power to make housing affordable. Priorities revealed. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

“Look over there!” is the oldest trick in the book. Meanwhile the real agenda is graft — crypto scams, self-dealing, and fleecing the Treasury. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

The administration is speed-running authoritarian vibes while pretending it can’t do anything about rent, wages, or healthcare costs. That’s a choice. buff.ly/T0OsIEK

They want you arguing about the “Gulf of America” while they pick your pocket. Distraction isn’t a bug — it’s the feature.

Everyone gets what’s happening right? The people of Minnesota rose up & Trump backed down. Another lesson that institutions are impotent against authoritarians. It’s the people and the street that matter.

Not a big 2nd Amendment person but question to all the originalists: if it does not allow you to bring a firearm to a protest, then what the heck was the point?

If you’re a lawyer and you’re staying quiet because you don’t want to be “political,” ask yourself: what exactly is your profession for? Due process isn’t partisan. Enough is enough.

I’m a lawyer. My whole job is believing in process. And what I’m seeing in Minneapolis looks like raw power getting normalized. That’s not America. Stop the operation. Reset with rules, training, oversight, and courts—not street chaos.

I don’t say this lightly: enough is enough. What’s happening in Minneapolis is not normal, and it’s not American. Pull the federal ICE operation out until there’s real accountability. How many people have to die before we stop calling this “enforcement”? buff.ly/JTeK2Bp

Please continue to post video of ICE terrorizing the Twin Cities wherever you can. America was founded on resistance to this type of government overreach. Real patriots resist ICE & want the Trump regime gone.
