Following the attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, there will be understandable demands for change—“but at some point, Americans must decide whether we live in an open democracy or a garrison state,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

This bill would let Florida officials label organizations and individuals "domestic terrorists" through a "guilt by designation" process that could be weaponized against those criticizing the government. Florida state senators must protect our constitutional rights and reject this dangerous bill.

Trump hasn't gone to Congress for authorization to attack Iran. He hasn't explained the necessity or urgency of preemptive action by us. I'd very much like to see regime change in Iran, but Trump hasn't explained how we intend to help achieve that goal. Congress: Just say No.

Announcing his war of regime change, Trump said to the Iranian people, “The hour of your freedom is at hand.” Words from a president who has been snatching freedoms from Americans. A freedom taker presenting himself as a freedom giver. How authoritarians commonly present their wars of conquest.
