Whether It Is ICE or Local Police, the U.S. Has Normalised Anti-Democratic Law Enforcement Practices The Grotesque Excesses of ICE Sit Within the Broader Context of Police Brutality

Pinning your hopes on police orgs breaking with ICE is not sound thinking.

The Only War the White House Is Ready for Is Culture War The new U.S. National Security Strategy is a moral and strategic disaster.

The Trump administration's National Security Strategy rejects the values of the post-1945 international order, argues Kori Schake.

Fascism is not an electoral project. It does not need to win at the ballot box. It does not need majority support. It does not care about democracy. It doesn't even care about society. It only recognises a blunt racial animus of violence.

Stop treating fascists as if you can defeat them by voting.

ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Pete Hegseth And Adm. Mitch Bradley Belong In Prison The South American boat strikes are plainly murders. Now we have the names of the murderers. Do we have the political will to lock them up?

"Unless Hegseth and Bradley face criminal penalties for their illegal order," writes @attackerman.bsky.social, "the bottom will drop out of military ethics."

I don’t doubt the sincerity of the general public who reacted viscerally in the wake of the Axis genocide, but I wonder if the taboo was exploited as a smokescreen for the closeted fascists under a different flag? Like the ones who ran Operation Paperclip…

given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves β€œhow do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than β€œhow do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”
