In the 1870s, when (self-described) white supremacists were working to “redeem” North Carolina from multiracial democracy, they sought to disempower local governments to “liberate” white minorities from black judges, sheriffs, etc. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

They are extremely clear about the fact that they consider themselves to be at war with you. They do not equivocate about it. It's their stated policy.

America voted for this. Never forget that. They didn't seize power and were pretty open about their intent and we let them in and went along with it step by step.

Notice she's not talking about "criminals" anymore. Now they're onto who they perceive as their enemies, including the people we elected. They want to use L.A. to show they can force liberal cities into submission.

Just watched a terf argue that cis men will willingly buy dresses, makeup and wigs to access women in bathrooms, but pointing out that allowing ICE agents to be masked means a man only has to buy an ICE jacket on Amazon to attack women is a paranoid delusion. White supremacy will fry your brain.

Years ago, I made a tester account for this kind of thing. It is following only @NBA and nothing else. It has never posted or interacted with a single tweet. I just logged on to it. Here’s what the algorithm showed me as I scrolled for 30 seconds.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.

It’s unbelievable that a lot of news organisations keep reporting as if Trump is popular. He is not. His administration and his agenda are not.

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

The “states’ rights,” “don’t tread on me,” “fight tyranny” crowd is now cheering on authoritarian power grabs—from a guy who can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. If you care about the Constitution, you should care no matter who is in office.

It’s only the Electoral College that makes denigrating the second-most populous city in the country as “a city of criminals” a viable electoral strategy.

Agree with this. Either a majority or big plurality are already unhappy about this needless troop deployments. Now setting up for a boffo totally unprecedented domestic display of military power and priming to unleash troops on anyone who says it’s not awesome.

WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

This should be more than sufficient to allow a person who wants to go protest to seek and obtain an injunction against the use of force against protesters
