Fabulous piece of writing. “What the birthday boy and his hateful crew do as almost an instinct is reduce a who to a what, and they do it to women in just the same way as they do it to immigrants … which is to exclude them from their full humanity so that they can be more easily abused.”

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

I see we’re betraying people who risked their lives and homes to side with us in a nasty war. Again.

Millions of people marched. Millions. We hear that number a lot, even billion, so it doesn't sound as big as it should. That's a lot of people. Do you know, say, 100 people? A million is ten thousand times that many. Want to count to a million one per second? It'll take 11 days. A lot of people.

This Army birthday I’m thinking of Medal of Honor recipient Pvt Henry Johnson of the 369th NY National Guard (known as the Harlem Hellfighters). The 369th served more days in the WWI trenches than an other US unit, took more casualties also. DOD just stripped Johnson’s name off Ft. Polk.

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

This holds true for events in Minnesota today. Violence against legislators is a clarion call of weakness. It advertises the fact that the attackers are weak, desperate, and in the minority. It is an open attack on democratic governance, grounded on free and fair elections by We the People.

We're going to see quite a split screen today: Millions protesting peacefully in defense of democracy, and a would-be dictator ordering tanks to tear up DC streets to make him feel powerful. It's obvious what the right side is. Be on it.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Honestly, folks. As a historian, every day I wonder what new assault on the democratic process awaits us from the executive branch. The revolutionary generation knew that they were living in world-changing times. So are we. We need to live up to this challenge.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

Democracies do not mobilize their military against their own people. Authoritarian states do. This is a war-footing escalation, intended to assert control. Massive violation of 🚨 civil liberties and🚨rule of law.
