This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

This is bizarre. CBS News' OWN POLL found that "support drops dramatically" when respondents don't think dangerous criminals are the focus. And TRUMP HIMSELF is now backing off them. Media refusal to acknowledge all this is akin to a deep sickness. Padilla is right. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Margaret Brennan is fundamentally wrong on the claim that public approval of mass deportations is "so high." It has never been above 60%, and has been below 50% in multiple recent polls. There is no world in which that counts as "so high."

Just incredible the scale of peaceful rallies today in the midst of all the tensions and chaos Trump has deliberately stoked. No matter how much Trump and those who share his authoritarian desires create mayhem and conflict, the American people still showed up at our patriotic best. #NoKings

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

As an exercise, try to imagine Ron Johnson being wrestled to the ground in Wisconsin; or Tommy Tuberville in Alabama; or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah, neither can I. charliesykes.substack.com/p/no-kings-n...

Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

Every prominent Democrat in the country should jump on this immediately. Enough bullshit cowering on this issue. Get on this! Trump just handed you a massive weapon. Use it!

At this point in time, I trust protestors far more to resolve situations peacefully, legally, and without violence than I do ICE or other militarized representatives of this autocratic federal government. The news media needs to adopt a whole different perspective on coverage.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”

A reminder, because apparently that’s needed today: tarring and feathering is an act of physical violence against someone. During the Revolutionary era, it was employed specifically as an act of terror to intimidate officials, merchants, and others who opposed the Sons of Liberty.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

The Secretary of Defense lies under oath, claiming "21 million illegals" entered under Biden. Trump previously invented a 20 million figure out of thin air at a campaign rally. Recently, he randomly started saying 21 million. Now his surrogates are parroting that fake number.

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."
