1. Excellent

[erronis]

2. Ted Lieu knows how to make the message simple and powerful.

And he leads by personal example - not hiding behind procedural walls like many.

3. Yesterday here in my dinky red state town we (by actual count) put 350 people on the street. Given the size of town,

even if you include a few people that came in from the county, that was well over the magic 3.5% you need to oust a tyrannical regime.

4. Anyone but a stone cold psychopath could have predicted how Americans would react to these tactics.

Furthermore, anyone but a stone cold psychopath would have learned something from the public reaction to the separation of immigrant families during the first Trump administration. That the Orange Hellbeast and his hench goblin Nosferatu Stephen Miller failed miserably on both counts says a great deal about both of them, imo.

5. I'm glad he included Vance in his statement.

None of us should be making this all about Trump. We should always include Vance and the GOP with it. We all know what will happen if Trump is gone (one way or another). Vance will just be more of the same. He's "owned" by the same people.

7. Yes! That's exactly what

I thought about that.

TY!

[calimary]

13. Most definitely!

Don’t let ANY of these bastards who were in on everything get away with anything!

[Cha]

6. I like the sound of that! And, in the

WaPo .. Nazi Bezos' paper.

TY & Ted Lieu.. I also like his Spirit

[FakeNoose]

9. I think Jeff Bezos went to the movie theater ...

He's not reading the newspapers these days.

[Cha]

10. I think his good buddy, the Nazi PEDO

inside the WH won't like it.

I imagine he has crews sniffing out anything Negative about him and his Nazi Hitler wannabe admin.

11. This is the message we have to send. Defeatism must be headed off and activism must be encouraged.

[thought crime]

12. They've lost a battle.

The war goes on. But Minneapolis takes its place in the history books.

[NJCher]

14. the true ugliness

Of what they have done has not yet sunk into the American consciousness. When it does, it will even be worse for them.

I have said since January of last year that this was nothing more than a money making scheme. Everybody they catch is money to them. That is why they don’t care if the person has a criminal background or not.

Recently AOC made that public. Now it has the beginnings of seeping into the brains of Americans that they sold out habeas corpus for money.

[sop]

15. Trump's response to public opinion turning against him has been to criminalize protest.

He'll fail.
