Opinion | Trump‘s new anti-antifa panic is the start of something much more dangerous The president signed an executive order Monday declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization.”

NGL, I'm alarmed by the prospect of US Navy officers applauding the extra-judicial execution of "terrorists" (along with other parts of Trump's speech). We're watching the real-time politicization of the US military

ICE Plans to Build ‘Hyper-Realistic’ Tactical Training Facility That Can Simulate ‘Urban Warfare’ ICE is building a new training facility that will feature “hyper-realistic” simulations of homes, schools, courtrooms, and commercial buildings.

When you say they are not trained, you are wrong. This is the training they were given in Trump’s 1st Admin. ICE was trained specifically in urban warfare for this moment in 2019. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-bui...

Trump, speaking to the U.S. Navy: "I wanna thank a group of women from North Carolina...This is number 151, you could call a 'rally.' This is sort of a rally. Let's face it, this is a rally."

Just imagine the thermonuclear reaction -- not just from Fox News, but the legacy media sphere -- if any Democratic president said this about the GOP during a speech to a military branch.

Meanwhile, this won't even stay in the news cycle 24 hours, if at all.

The Nobel prize winner Maria Ressa has said Americans are like “deer in the headlights” amid the collapse of US institutions and free speech under the Trump administration, particularly after Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.

This is so common in the Border Patrol. He will even claim he is the victim. In white supremacist orgs, poc & women are often horrifically violent bc they are trying to prove themselves to the white management.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
