There was reporting that the other week Stephen Miller went ape on Tom Homan for weak numbers, and now we have a panicked large ICE mobilization in Miller's childhood SoCal... seems pretty A-B.

The “Black folk stay home” narrative being shoved across social media is coming from the Trump regime and affiliated MAGA networks. It’s a series of troll farms and collaborators working together to influence / manipulate US citizens away from protesting. It’s an operation.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

The California National Guard and Trump's ICE regime forces attacked unarmed US citizens, protestors and media, with tear gas, smoke grenades, and pellet rounds. They pushed them into the street and declared a 'unlawful assembly', a violation of people's first amendment. #StopICE (📹@JamesQueallyLAT)

I'm not sure what "usage" means. I get a lot more out of reading this site than Twitter, which is just a stream of white supremacists and spam. And I definitely get much more engagement posting here than I did after Elon took over. It works fine, even without randos yelling slurs at me.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

No, no, no. As the political media often reminds us, the far right exists as a pure natural state of being and the rest of the universe must accommodate itself to their reality. Are they wrong? No, you are, and you need to change your ways. It's just basic science.
