I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

it is sort of funny that trumpism is the exact system they were trying to avoid and yet none of their institutional fixes to prevent this worked time to think about this

Protests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.

All that Republicans really seem to want is to massacre their fellow citizens, and they seem to want it very much. I think it would be responsible for the public discourse to include this fact in every single story about pretty much any topic.

Borders and masculinity are the same in that they’re both fake and they’re both talked about incessantly by the most tiresome men.

A lot of these folks think Trump is only kicking out dangerous criminals. They don't hear about the arbitrarily canceled visas and TPS and asylees who are following the rules. Huge messaging failure by Democrats.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

The real, ideological enemy isn't MAGA or ICE or Israel or Russia or etc etc etc. It's dehumanization. It's the idea that some groups of people do not deserve human rights and must be purged Anyone who follows these assholes into that cesspit has already lost
