He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

Yeah the actual political project here isn't to rehabilitate a bunch of Trump voters it's to tear Trump's coalition apart. And that doesn't mean adding a bunch of racist car dealership owners into our coalition it means demobilizing them as a political force Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

One of the most clarifying moments for me regarding how utterly, hopelessly divorced this country was from its own true nature and history came in 2008 when I listened in disbelief to educated adults argue aloud that the election of one (1) Black president meant we were in a post-racial America.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame. But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South. We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people. Where do yall think Germany learned from?

why would you put them all in a room together to do this. somebody will probably give in but the whole thing is you want to separate people and work on them individually because you don't want people to be courageous together. you don't run the prisoner's dilemma on people who are in the same ROOM

This would've been impeachable conduct a decade ago. Insane just how corrupt this all is. Sassoon was is a FedSoc member who clerked for Scalia. She's no radical leftist but even she wouldn't sully her career and engage in open corruption.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

The fundamental flaw with the Democratic Party is that they do not recognize themselves as political leaders who drive and shape public opinion, but as especially powerful bureaucrats. It’s probably related to how many of them come urban machines where getting elected is basically getting promoted

liberals also seem to think the GND happened. Like I had to tell my mom that no, none of the green new deal occurred, Trump is just saying he’s going to get rid of something that never happened

I'm a representative for the Democrats. A decade ago a grand piano fell on my head and ever since then, my memory restarts every 45 minutes. I am confident our existing legislative playbook will be able to handle this crisis.

Israel's actions are a violation of Article 38 of the Geneva Conventions (III), which Israel ratified on July 6, 1951. Not that international law or frankly Israeli law means anything.

Korea's attempted coup was no less dangerous or politically protected by career opportunists and cowards than the current coup in the US was. It was shut down in 6 hours. The president was in jail within weeks. It's only impossible to resist if you are convinced it is impossible to resist.

It's such an absurd argument because what Musk and his goons are doing is literally ruining people's lives.

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.

Every time you get a democrat begging for your money, donate to mutual aid needs, or to bail funds for the protesters who are being, have been, and will be arrested. Then you got trans organizations, and immigrant organizations. There's so many people who could do good with that money
