There is no universe in which it is acceptable for a Secretary of DHS to say anything like this. Kristi Noem must resign immediately. Or be impeached.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.

This is why I keep argue, at every possible point, that Trump is failing. Not to create a sense of complacency, but to show people that resistance to authoritarianism *is working*

THEY ARE ALWAYS FROM THE SAME POLITICAL PARTY

Oh man, this is nuts reporting. “Federal agents came to suspect that Bukele…had diverted U.S. aid funds to the gang as part of the alleged deal to provide it with money and power in exchange for votes…”

It’s completely insane that the media pretends every random protester or activist in America speaks for the Democratic Party, but Trump’s agencies can directly quote white supremacist accounts on Twitter and the same media won’t link these people to Trump

I bet you could hire three historians for what that position will pay.

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.

Don’t you feel encouraged to see that people are acting? And by how many of us there are who are inspired to resist? The scary authoritarian response is to be expected. That’s because they are this scared of us.

I block people for bothsiderism. Your insistence that your bothsiderism is from the left makes no difference at all to its effect.

Tangentially related: one big political advantage the right has is that they can dogwhistle their true beliefs and expect a good faith effort by their supporters to hear the dog whistle. Meanwhile, the left looks for literally any excuse to claim someone is ideologically impure.

Truly the only two possibilities are hard economic determinism and hard genetic determinism. Culture does not exist, language does not exist, people don't learn things (including bigotry) from other people....

Not only that: "Police are seen, on video, to shoot journalists."
