‘Show me your papers’ immigration law now in effect in Alabama Senate Bill 53, criticized by the Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice as a "show me your papers" law, is now in effect as of October 1, 2025.

I honestly think the White House press corps has just given up and have become stenographers. When one gets too far out of line live, you'll see Trump assail them verbally, as well as the outlet they work for. Then they seem to further retreat into irrelevant questioning without follow-up.

RUTH BEN-GHIAT: It's very important for people to have heroes & frankly, authoritarians have been better at having them. That's what cults of personality are about. But it's very important for people to have figures who they can look up to who are doing the right thing on their behalf at a time when the govt has become either negligent or actually an actively hostile force. It's very scary for people to realize that not only do their leaders not care if they live or die, sometimes they do things that accelerate the opposite of well-being. In that situation, the dissident who is not one of the wealthy, powerful people usually. They can come from any social class, but they are often operating alone or on a small scale against power. That is very inspiring to people & it encourages others to have their courage & go out perhaps to protest. There are many ways we can resist or protest; you don't have to be in the streets. The other thing is that I've read much in the literature of dissidents, & I have a chapter on resistance in my book. They are resilient. They play a long game. Some of the names you mentioned are people who were in long dictatorships — communism, decades & decades. You need a certain mentality that is resilient & also doesn't give up hope. There's a friend of mine who's an artist, a Chinese dissident who lives in exile. He told me, bc the Chinese govt is always trying to get his exhibitions in foreign countries canceled, "My personal ethos is like the myth of Sisyphus. I feel like I'm trying, & then it gets foiled, but the act of trying is important regardless of the result, because it's an example to others." I think that often in America, we're not used to this. We like things to resolve quickly. We're just not used to this kind of long game. We haven't had to be used to it, although we have many examples from the civil rights movement, which we're absolutely not talking about enough. That was a long game, & it was ultimately successful.

Here is a transcript of her answer..

I don't think there's any question who's running things and he's pacifying a decomposing dictator by going after his personal enemies.

Miller wants to burn democracy down to the ground, and ethnically cleanse 🇺🇸 to his fantasy of pristine whiteness.

All MAGA & SCOTUS approved and voted for.

Heck, there are many clips of Trump saying disgusting things about his own daughters. 🤮

Imagine what he said in private...and what he's *done* in private, yucking it up over the years w/his best buddy, pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein.

Anyone asked Jake Tapper if he plans to interview FOTUS, Susie Wiles, Stephen Miller to do the journalistic work of checking on the cognitive decline of Decomposing Dictator?

Or is he waiting for Trump to 💀, saving it for the next book? Because he regrets overlooking Biden's decline. What gives? 🤔

It's sad because he's telling obvious lies...and they know it. The economic ones are absolutely delusional lies.

Anyone going in their grocery store can tell the difference between price a year ago, and now.

News orgs need to show him prices of the same 10 items over 2 mo., 6 mo., a year.

These thugs must get a 💰bounty💰 just for bringing any warm brown body in. Nothing here screams "trained professional." Probably more Stephen Miller ICE recruits, trying to act tough, but felt heat from the community & decided to F off.

Put them in a time machine & they'd be eager slave catchers.

You know Temu Goebbels Steven Miller & staff are feeding decomposing dictator an endless loop of AI-generated slop of a burning Portland and footage from 2020 protests.

Reporters, ask him/Miller to show us what he's seeing. Otherwise it's time to 25thA.

The President of the United States is in the process of placing the entirety of the Federal government under his own control using methods that are in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution. This is a coup. Coup leaders consolidate power by seizing control of key government agencies, media, infrastructure, and financial institutions. Often, the military has been used to take control, but that is not the only method: Controlling institutions is the key to a successful coup. Modern countries run on money and data, so controlling both is key. Trump/Musk have not yet consolidated control, but they are targeting the key financial and information systems of the United States. There is still time to resist, but real damage is being done to the systems that the United States is dependent on for day-to-day operations. Is this a coup?
