Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

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.

Trump’s federal government imposing collective punishment on US cities because their citizens and residents exercised their constitutionally protected right to free speech. Pure dictator behavior, anti-constitutional, and abhorrent to the entire US system

A sane President would see the chaos that he engineered in LA as a mistake to avoid replicating. But for Trump it was simply the opening battle of his authoritarian takeover of major power centers controlled by his political enemies.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

Nazi shit. Visceral, actually existing Nazi shit. Gestapo. Secret police. Randomly inflicted terror against targeted groups in centers of opposition against an illegitimate, minority regime of masked men in brown and green uniforms. Actual, real life, nazi shit and it's home grown All American.

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing settled, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

These cases--where ICE assaults someone and then ratchets up false claims against them to cover up their own crimes--are connected to the political cases, especially David Huerta, where ICE charged a felony after injuring a prominent union leader.

The hard truth is we know Trump & Miller aren’t trying to reduce crime and they aren’t trying to help workers or protect citizens. All they’re trying to do terrorize and get rid of groups they disfavor. We all know this is true yet no one in the press can state it plainly without being fired.

A sign of how fundamentally broken and inadequate to the moment our information and media ecosystem is when the president is deploying the military to crush protests against his mass kidnapping scheme, and the question is whether those who oppose it are being nice enough.

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.

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.

I think because some part of me wanted to feel better about our own situation, I've been reading Mao's Last Revolution, about the Cultural Revolution. At one level, boy yes, a reminder of how much much much worse politics can get, but also more than a few moments of recognition that are discomfiting

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

The Trump administration would love to use war-style brutality and violence to attack all protestors. About 35% of the country would cheer it. Remind me why I should feel any community, any common humanity, any need to connect with those people.

"Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems." Pure vandalism. This could never happen in a country with functioning checks and balances.

“The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee. Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said.”

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."
