I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

This is what you get when ICE recruits were the J-6ers, Proud Boys & OathKeepers.

Now they’re getting paid (handsomely) to be Trump’s Brown Shirts.

This is what happens when an insurrection goes unpunished.

🤨

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov I want to see this here with our National Guard.

MAGA. Republicans. Is this what you believe in? Our own federal agents, who we pay, POINTING GUNS AT US?! For documenting their lawless abuse?

MAGA. Republicans. Is this what you wanted?

This is staggeringly good. Terrifying. I love Chicago. Stop this performative sadism.

Why is no one talking about the absolutely fucking obvious intention behind the deployment of federalized troops to America’s cities?

They are mustering to intimidate and suppress the vote in 2026. They will be dragging brown people out of polling places, doing violence, to disrupt the Blue Wave.

I hate how plausible this is

Screenshot from a NYT article by Thomas Edsall, quoting Barbara Walter of UC-San Diego: "The quickest way to piss people off is to send soldiers into their neighborhoods especially when there’s no reason for them to be there. It’s inherently provocative, and Trump and his team understand this. Research by the political scientist Robert Pape shows that the single most powerful predictor of suicide terrorism is the presence of foreign troops on local soil. People hate, hate, hate that. They hate the humiliation, the powerlessness, the feeling of being occupied. "Once citizens begin to view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this. In fact, that’s the point. They are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns. In the end, violence serves their ultimate end: They want to create the illusion of disorder so they can tighten control and stay in power indefinitely."

Chilling insight by @barbarafwalter.com: "Once citizens view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this… They’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns."

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

the way you can tell this administration is fully off the rails is that they have dollar store sephiroth out here giving unhinged screeds as the face of the whole effort

Fight like you’re in a TV drama against poorly educated psychopaths. Because you are.

I live in Germany where this is absolutely true. Mass deportation and remigration (stripping legally naturalized people of their citizenship in order to deport them) is the open rhetoric of the far-right party here. The modern GOP is out-Nazi'ing actual German Nazis, that is how far this has gotten.

He seems to have literally gone mad with power, thinking he can just bluster the country into some kind of Fourth Reich with the power of screechy Twitter posts written with all the forced bombast that an insecure dweeb imagining himself as Goebbels can muster.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

But since when do laws or tradition apply to this regime?

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the current corrupt regime from office today! Stop the insanity!

More on ICE zip tying naked children and throwing them into vans. Some of these children are U.S. citizens. I really don’t care who their parents are. If you’re okay with treating babies and children like this there is something very wrong with you.

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘F--- them kids’: ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building

“Dozens of federal agents raiding an entire apartment building with kids in it just to see what they can find. It’s the most egregious abuse of our basic rights as Americans I've seen in a long time, maybe in my lifetime,” says Chris Hayes.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

I always knew the second civil war was going to start because of white men small dick energy. I’m talking to you Stephen Miller u walking knobstain
