I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

THE INTERVIEW PETER THIEL SCRUBBED FROM THE INTERNET Billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel gave an interview in 2011, in which he tipped his hand about his anti-democratic plans and neo-monarchist philosophies.

Those three dates, Easter Sunday, Hitler’s birthday and the end date for the recommendation on whether or not to use martial law is quite a “happenstance” that is symbolic to a large portion of the Nazis in the administration. This is the stuff that keeps me up at night. Because it’s coming. Fast.

This is an avenue. I’ve been thinking about a lot as of Weight and both actual Republicans who’ve been disaffected and Democrats who just want to yell at Republicans in a way that sounds plausible where we can overwhelm their ability to counter message this. Literally flood their zones.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

From someone who has chronicled the subprime crisis & resulting financial crisis, financial markets are not at good at predicting fundamental vulnerabilities. Warnings are often ignored for the sake of “irrational exuberance” They are good at accelerating downward spirals & contagion however.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

NEW: Per a source at HUD, there are plans out there to cut staff at the agency by almost 50 percent, far beyond the “probationary” bullshit. This hasn’t started yet though, to be clear. I have seen numbers for sub-offices that exceed 70 and 80 percent cuts in some cases. “Really devastating.”

After talking to sources on every side, it's become clear the stakes in the Eric Adams case are far higher than one man's fate. MAGA is looking to tame the famously-independent US Atty's office in Manhattan. They're trying to take DOJ's "crown jewel" for itself. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

In far right spaces, you hear Carl Schmitt referred to frequently, in particular his emphasis on the centrality of the friend/enemy distinction. For people interested in understanding the influences behind those attempting to dismantle the liberal democratic world order, this is worth reading:

The mental health effects of authoritarianism are real and people need to start thinking about how we deal with them or we are going to see social conflict at scale.There has been a fair amount of work done on the social psychology and individual psychology of those victimized by authoritarianism.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Jack Posobiec on an official overseas trip. Posobiec's 2024 book, "Unhumans," uses genocidal language to stoke terror and hatred of Democrats. (They are the "unhumans.") I read the book. Here's what you need to know: www.thenerdreich.com/unhumans-jd-...
