Videoing or photographing masked ICE goons doesn't go far enough. The real effort should be taking down license plate numbers and building an accessible database.

Yep. They'll handpick someone morally irredeemable and have their gaslighting talking points and attack lines ready for anyone who challenges them.
And we don't know if Roberts or SCOTUS would fight for whoever this ends up being despite it being patently illegal, unconstitutional, and inhumane.

Ratings over ethics. Ratings over democracy. Ratings over everything.

That they aren't already doing this is frightening. Any Democrat that so much as utters the word bipartisanship after this should be primaried.
Either you're against fascist dictators disappearing people and citizens to a third-world hellhole prison, or you aren't.

Who among us could have seen this coming? That Roberts is even considering the potential political blowback of his rulings is testament enough to how cooked SCOTUS's credibility is.

Trump is giving Republicans what they've always wanted-- more tax cuts to the rich while gutting Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, the immigration system, and every regulatory body they've always wanted to get rid of.
They won't turn on him to save democracy-- they want that gone too.

Enough that I fully expect any FBI "investigation" to arrive at a laughable, lie-filled conclusion that doesn't make Trump or his fascist followers look bad.

We know why-- and that's a huge problem that isn't going away.

They violated her civil liberties and kidnapped her for the hell of it, and are daring the courts to stop them. This is sickening.

Bryce Mitchell is a plug, but this isn't a one-off or just a UFC problem. Violent extremists and far-right ideology aren't uncommon in the wider MMA ecosystem.

He's a terrorist, and anyone that refers to Cody Balmer as a lone wolf is telling on themselves. There's more than enough evidence detailing how MAGA openly crave violence. It was only a matter of "when", not if.

I wish the press hadn't coined the term "Alt-Right" and had just opted for the more accurate "white supremacist" instead. Giving hateful racists legitimacy led us to where we are now.

Yep. The regime forcing the "white people have never done anything wrong" version of US history upon every facet of society is just the beginning.
Going forward, assume everything AI touches will eventually be rewritten.

The regime doesn't need to threaten to impeach judges if they just ignore their rulings-- and Republicans in Congress are just fine with that.

He's playing in everyone's faces. The corruption is overwhelming, and the bottom will fall out from under the US economy because of it.

I will always encourage people to punch Nazis in the face and to shout them down at every chance. You can't combat Nazism and/or white supremacy with words. Fuck that.

So anything meant to acknowledge, rectify, or address historical cruelty or flagrant racism is DEI then.

The only shock about this is it took this long for them to take Obama's picture down.
