this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

Authoritarianism is repugnant. This administration's use of the national guard and the military in LA is reprehensible and obviously calculated to intimidate and incite violence against people who would speak up against it.
I hope the people protesting in LA persevere.

I took myself off the big social media platforms a few months ago for a few reasons.
A big reason I have stayed off it is this administration's eagerness to use it to target private citizens for harassment.

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines.
This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive.

Recall how this started:
1. DOJ lawyers make outrageous argument that citizens aren't citizens
2. Federal judge rightly calls that "blatantly unconstitutional"
3. Law professor calls judge's remarks "highly embarrassing"
Why should I assume "good faith" on the last part? It's plainly bad faith.

"and we deem it unjustifiable to call them concentration camps, with all the ugly connotations that term implies -- we are dealing specifically with nothing but an exclusion order."
