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.*

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Randy Arozarena because just the 7th player in MLB history with 2+ runs, 2+ stolen bases & 0 official at-bats (3 BB, 1 HBP) in a game. The crazy part? The last player to do it was ALSO a Mariners left fielder … Rickey Henderson on July 30, 2000! 😱 #TheMayerGWS

Seriously, MSNBC’s David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasn’t happening.

Chuck Schumer, it’s time to shut it down. Whatever imaginary red line you had, it was crossed when they indicted a Congressperson. It was crossed when they deployed marines to Los Angeles. It was crossed when they handcuffed a Senator. It’s time to shut it the fuck down.

It’s looking like Saturday’s No Kings mobilizations are going to be even bigger than Hands Off! We need to show up by the millions to demonstrate that Trump’s tyrannic crackdown is only deepening our resolve. Find a peaceful protest near you for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”
