Trump has been handing out pardons like candy to those who commit crimes in his name. With nationwide protests planned today, the pardons increase the risk of political violence by those on the right.
Liz, I’m headed to Seattle, dressed as a carnival barker, selling pardons and passing out information to your Substack and DOJ/White house information at “No Kings/Kick Out the Clowns”. You are so inspiring.
Thanks Liz. I heard your interview on PBS and have followed you since then. I was not aware of the app (God I can hardly keep up each day); it is part of what many of us have suspected with the irregular ragtag looking “ICE” interventions. One more thing to add to the list of things to fix once some adults get back in the room. Thanks for your insight.
How do we get Crazy Ed Martin out of there, and the highly responsible professional career public servant that was doing this all so honourably
Back in her job!
It does seem like they’re doing a pretty good job of just destroying themselves, but they’re making a heck of a mess for us all while they’re wreaking havoc with the machinery.
Votes are our founders’ answer to the process, but I do worry that the time frame for that to effectuate an answer may not be as responsive as needed.
This is really sad and scary at the same time! The truth is, no matter who the people are that just killed the MN Rep and her husband and seriously injured the senator and his wife, they will be pardoned. Trump knows these criminals will do all the dirty work to take out people that this administration wants out. I really hate this country right now!
It will be interesting to watch how the cabinet handles this extremely serious turn of events. Am trying to find out about this suspect/guy on the run. He was appointed to a governors workforce committee twice in a row, most recently by Gov Tim Walz. Wondering his political views... motivations, mental state . A terribly sad day in MN and I feel sorry for all their family members and also feel bad for Tim Walz...Mary warned us and warned us. I feel like our country has gone straight to hell. I sent a link yesterday about autocracies in modern history and how a little over 50 per cent got turned back around to democracies.
So
We have a 50/50 crap shoot we can make it back to sanity here in this once great democracy.🇺🇸
I will look for the link I mentioned and edit it back into this comment if I find it for any one interested in this topic.
Ok I found this down a rabbit hole yesterday or so and while it is not great odds it brings attn to the fact that we need to stay on top of all of this stuff going on all around us no matter how much despair it may bring us day to day. We must turn this coup around. We are too big to fail this mission and it will take all of us:

Thank you for all you are doing!
I am marching despite my cancer!
Thank you for that!

Yikes Liz!

Unfortunately, the violence Trump has fomented is now occurring. https://open.substack.com/pub/fpwellman/p/shocking-news-out-of-minnesota?r=2k6d1&utm_medium=ios
OMG OMG OMG! Are we done? Is this the end? This is crazy!
Thanks for the info, Liz!! Mario sounds like a real winner. So happy there are sane folks like you to keep us informed

I would be surprised if they pardon this guy...

Entitled " When autocratization is reversed: episodes of U-Turns since 1900 "
This is awful! No pardons period. Do the crime- you do the time. 🇺🇸
YES YES YES!!
We know that his pardons mean more than just that!
It’s a CLEAR & DANGEROUS message to all but especially to people who are violent &aggressive!!
Shocking! Keep fighting for our country and the constitution
Feral. Tario is a feral monster.
Maybe the Pardon duty by the President should be taken away entirely due to the current abuse of it by TACO.
