It has happened here before, and this looks like that. I am literally about to give a talk about the violent takeover of democratic governance in the Reconstructed South, and this looks like that. It is not the same, but if you do not see it at all, you are not looking.

Republicans appear to view words as magic. You say the word, you get to do whatever you want that word to let you do. That's it. No evidence, justification, planning, discussion... "I said the magic word, I get to do the horrible thing now!"

Look I'm a white southerner and what that has taught me is that you need to round up and hang the traitors and then keep Reconstruction in place for at least 100 years. Don't make the same mistakes as the first time tyrants got out of hand.

I was probably going to protest anyway, but I love that I’m going because my normie husband’s (punk) best friend invited him to protest and he agreed If regular people know we need to change, imagine what happens if us weirdos take more initiative

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Any immigration crisis that exists in America is self inflicted. We've let racists & anti-American bigots drive policy for decades, made the system virtually impossible to navigate, & spent more on enforcement of the arcane rules than assisting immigrants with becoming stable, productive citizens.

Good vibes please tonight #bunnysky. My little handsome devil's jaw has an abscess that's gotten pretty big, and he's not eating or drinking much. On critical care, on meds for pain and gut movement, but I really want to see him start eating again quickly so we can get his surgery scheduled.

I don't need to hear another word from anyone defending the NYT ever again and I have to assume the talented reporters and writers employed there will understand. This is Jenny McCarthy shit. Shameful and pathetic. Both sidesing scientists vs the stupidest people on earth. National Enquirer shit.

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

a fairly deeply held belief of mine is that Americans want immigration to work the way they think it already does: you can get in legally if you’re patient on a reasonable timescale, and if you’re here long enough to put down community roots you shouldn’t get kicked out regardless

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.

Apathy and doomerism is what the far right want from you. It makes you simple to control, and spreads to others around you. It makes things extremely easy for the fascists if no one actually fights back.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

What's most wild to me is that there's absolutely no scope of most people's fear. The most dangerous metro areas to live in in the US, in order, are Memphis TN, Monroe LA, Anchorage AK, Pine Bluff AR, Danville IL, and Albany GA. And also, Memphis is lovely.
