Kristi Noem 'SHOCKED' by JB Pritzker's actions
YouTube video by Fox News Kristi Noem 'SHOCKED' by JB Pritzker's actions

Sec. Noem is threatening unconstitutional coercion: “help us police our agenda or lose your funding.” Local law enforcement isn’t responsible for carrying out federal duties—and the feds can’t force them by holding funds hostage.

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.
The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

“Goering shouted, ‘This [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.’”

- Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, p 139

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

‘The Charlie Kirk Effect’: Young Americans Flood Churches After Kirk’s Assassination Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, churches across the U.S. report a spike in attendance among young adults — a trend dubbed “the Charlie Kirk effect.”

“I think the only ones who have shown some dynamism lately on the American Christian landscape are these non-denominational, usually charismatic megachurches,” said Andrew Chesnut of Virginia Commonwealth University." dallasexpress.com/national/chu... #AcademicSky #Religion

This guy was facing such an imminent threat that he even had time to take off his rifle and sling it over his back. Six seconds. I don't think he was dealing with an imminent threat.

People paid for the streets. They have a legal right to be there.

Excited to see the new paperback edition of Addicted to Lust *with a new preface*! I’m proud of the way the arguments in here about “moral incongruence” and pornography use have only received more empirical support in the past 6 years. Great deal on Amazon!

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

Court Rules in AAUP v Rubio: Trump Admin Violated First Amendment The AAUP and partners sued to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members for ideological reasons.

Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.
