The Economics of Donald Trumpโ€™s Mass Deportations Donald Trumpโ€™s mass deportations will do little to improve the lives of American workers. But he is fueling a deportation-industrial complex that funnels billions of dollars into the hands of private ...

BlackRock, KKR, Vanguard, State Street, Cerberus, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, CoreCivic, and GEO Group all partnered w/Trumpโ€™s #DHS to build an eviction > detention > asset-flipping pipelineโ€”profiteering as #ICE clears buildings, every mass deportation action triggering waves of rental asset turnover.

Portland Police Bureau officers around the corner who stood by watching while the federal officers moved down the city street firing chemical munitions directly at protestors said questions about their role in these situations should be directed to the bureauโ€™s public information office.

Political violence FACTS: Melber's report from shootings to Trump's 'obviously' unjust 1/6 pardons
YouTube video by MSNBC Political violence FACTS: Melber's report from shootings to Trump's 'obviously' unjust 1/6 pardons

As it turns out, evidence shows that violence by far-right extremist far exceeds that of the left but yet the current regime is sending out the military & NG to suppress non-existent violence in blue states. Is this military show of force to incite violence?

1/5 Trumpโ€™s incitements to political violence keep getting worse. Heโ€™s completely unhinged.

Yesterday, he spoke to service members and compared Democrats to a gnat on the shoulder.

This kind of talk is not harmless. Itโ€™s dangerous

I know thereโ€™s a lot happening and itโ€™s hard to keep track, BUT TRUMP ENDED MULTIPLE INVESTIGATIONS INTO CHILD TRAFFICKING, DRUG SMUGGLING, AND ORGANIZED CRIME TO ACCELERATE DEPORTATIONS OF PEACEFUL IMMIGRANTS.

The โ€œdual stateโ€ theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianismโ€”but make it look like the rule of law.

In the Third Reich, Hitlerโ€™s will replaced German law. Whatever he wanted, he did.

Life in the early months of Trumpโ€™s second presidency hews to this framework in important respects.

These are the "law enforcement" tactics federal agents are using in Chicago. Their car is obstructed by a moped so they tear gas the entire neighborhood.

In a rural corner of Louisiana, Meta is building one of the world's largest data centers, a $10 billion behemoth as big as 70 football fields that will consume more power in a day than the entire city of New Orleans at the peak of summer.

The most important battle in America right now is the battle between two visions of what justifies state violence: between the rule of Trump and the rule of law.
