“There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities: (1) Lawless failed states… (2) Authoritarian states… Stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-secret...

Every ICE employee could quit if they wanted to. I know people need paychecks and health insurance. But where is the line where people say, “this is too evil”? Arresting innocent people isn’t the line. Disappearing people isn’t the line. Extraordinary rendition isn’t the line. How bad must it get?

"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone." When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.

Some of the worst punishments should be reserved for abusers of public service. Their crimes undermine the very fabric of society. If someone commits murder, it impacts tens or hundreds of people. If residents don't trust the cops, it can negatively impact millions.

Like it or not, misguided or not, so many voted for Trump and his ilk because they found them “authentic” and “strong.” From a political PR standpoint, that would be all.

If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

The Trump Administration does not want education about slavery because they are afraid that a nonwhite majority will treat them the same way, so they are trying to rewrite history about exactly what white people did in this country. "White genocide" is a prebuttal to what they fear they deserve.
