You may think you are apolitical but you will definitely be remembered for your politics.

This is nonetheless more favorable terrain for Trump than for the American system. As New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once wrote (here in The Post), β€œEveryone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

Trump has for years stoked the idea that actually, having your own facts is fine. And even as his base chooses facts that he finds inconvenient in the moment, he’s still pushing toward the next phase: Everyone is entitled to the facts that Trump presents.

What institutions of power will be left to disagree?

These are the last words in the last column I wrote for The Washington Post, titled "When institutions crumble, strongmen step in". www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Republicans are not fiscal conservatives and never have been.

They are fascists who use fear of wasteful spending to trick voters into giving them power.

"ICE and CBP are using chemical agents almost recreationally and prophylactically, in moments where there’s no physical harm or risk to them β€” moments where their violence is the only violence at the scene."

So, Bezos was just cosplaying being a real man (when he bought the Post) until it required showing real courage at a time when America needs courageous men. Shameful.

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

"The notion that Donald Trump claims this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It’s making the country more dangerous… The domestic terrorists are ICE!"

Trump Administration Live Updates: Noem Says β€˜Hundreds More’ Agents Will Be Sent to Minnesota Over β€˜Corruption’

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.

It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Today ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Horrific.

Trump's reckless mass deportation policies are terrorizing American cities and endangering everyone -- immigrants and U.S. Citizens alike.

The chaos and terror must end.

Many have warned that the extra-judicial murders the regime has carried out in the Caribbean and the Pacific was softening the ground for similar actions here eventually in the US.

And here we are. 4/

The man who shot and killed that woman in Minneapolis today had the word "police" on his chest.

But these ICE agents are not police. We don't have a national police force. Policing is state and local in the US. "Police" implies local origins, understandings, connection, and accountability. 1/

This was always going to happen. It was just a matter of when. No way was that ICE agent justified in shooting that woman. No fucking way. And this will happen again. And again. And again. Unless ICE gets off our streets.

So get ICE off our streets now. NOW.

ICE must be disbanded now and the murderer of this woman should be held legally accountable for his actions. This federal government-sanctioned violence on our streets must come to an end.

Even in the most charitable interpretation, giving up Minneapolis’s prerogative to investigate the homicide seems to expose a misunderstanding of the dynamics of the situation.

There really is no question this is an unequivocal murder. The officer fires 3 shots at the car. This still is taken before he fires the last 2 of those 3 shots: He is CLEARLY out of the car's path of travel, and in no danger whatsoever.

This is murder
