Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

You can say Trump bombed Iran for any number of more recent reasons but the reality is that he bombed Iran because in 2017 threw out the deal Obama made, specifically because Obama made it, and was completely unable to negotiate a better deal himself.

As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

ICE chase down & tackle U.S. citizen to the ground—because he "looked illegal." The agents in tactical gear slink away from the scene after realizing mistake. Their only explanation: "Why were you running?" Probably because 2 masked men with guns were trying to kidnap him. El Monte, California.

Lawsuits like this are one reason why for a period of time, local police didn’t want to sign 287(g) agreements with ICE; because they’re on the hook when they detain US citizens illegally by accident.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.
