For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

Right wing nativists pushed Reagan hard for mass deportations, but Reagan knew the only way to deport 11 million people quickly is through human rights abuses. That’s why he gave them all 11 million amnesty.

Trump may have embarked on a new strategy for undermining the judiciary called “court-baiting.” The tactic entails forcing the judiciary to take potentially unpopular decisions that are necessary to protect constitutional principles, then attacking them for those decisions.

Trump’s ICE militia is deploying to US streets as if it’s the US military on the streets of Fallujah. George W Bush gave us the war on terror. Donald Trump is giving us fascism and white supremacy. What a combo.

Trump can try all he want to pretend he is some kind of victim of Musk’s insanity, which is clearly the strategy. But he enabled and bearhugged and took all that dough. Dems cannot allow Trump to decouple him from Musk, now or ever.

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal. Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up? Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

I agree with the observation here that MAGA’s “talking points aren’t constructed to persuade but to protect.” January 6th conspiracy theories serve that same purpose - to deflect blame so MAGA diehards don’t have to accept that their side was responsible. open.substack.com/pub/theratio...

“They want everyone to believe what they believe. When Trump changes his mind about something, then you need to believe that, too. It’s functionally a totalitarian political view that says, ‘You’re allowed to think and say what I want you to think and say.’”

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.
