I've seen little comment abt assault-and-arrest of David Huerta, which preceded Trump's escalation yesterday, and which fits the model we saw with Delaney Hall and Jerry Nadler's office. Unlike the prior targets, Huerta doesn't have obvious immunity. He was also injured in the assault.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

He eliminated a State Department office that dealt with Russian disinformation campaigns—and is married to a woman with family ties to the Kremlin. It's another clear conflict of interest that's extremely typical within the Trump administration. https://trib.al/TltgGAm

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Facts: - Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance. - Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

This is a key policy point. Senators of red states are about to screw over their rural hospitals and constituents, and they know it (see below). Will that cost red state Senators their seats? Doubtful. But could it generate ripple effects that impact other state and local elections? Yes.

This is one of those situations where you don’t know if Trump is lying or misinformed by his own people. The National Guard weren’t deployed to the city, according to the mayor.

A thing that occasionally keeps me up late is thinking about how it alters the parameters for authoritarianism when a significant chunk of law enforcement & protest suppression can be fully automated.

You can aggressively enforce laws prohibiting immigration and segregating people by place of birth or you can have a free society with civil liberties, but you ultimately can't have both. Such a policy by its very nature requires a police state aimed at immigrants and citizens alike.
