There were a lot of thefts, but this will certainly turn the tide....

Damn. If you were capable of feeling shame you would probably feel it for this amazingly poor take.

Propagandists are not β€œprovocateurs.” Trump’s stated grounds for his abuses of power are not actual reasons, they are pretexts created for purely instrumental ends. And Kristi Noem did not β€œstare down” mobs of antifa terrorists in Portland. That’s because there isn’t any serious network of organized leftist violence in the United States, no matter how loudly Miller shrieks otherwise. Grasping how committed MAGA is to such industrial-scale deceptions is critical to getting this broader moment right.

The media normalizes Trump and just because it’s the early stages of fascism doesn’t mean it’s not fascism. β€”

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Yeah cool. Pull even more federal agents off counterterrorism, child porn, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and fraud investigations to do absolutely nothing.

Obviously what's happening in Portland is self-perpetuating cycle at this point. But I guess this is how it started?

The US government is like the ranting, entitled guy you see at any city council meeting who thinks every minor enforcement action is a conspiracy against him personally.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

β€œWe are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile.
