Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

💯. At the very least, if a criminal calls you or you call a criminal in the middle of his execution of a criminal conspiracy, you should expect that those conversations may be a subject of inquiry.

OH, THE RAVAGES OF THE WAR ON CARNIVORISM

David Ellison's first major hires at CBS News have been right-wing ombudsman Kenneth Weinstein and right-wing editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. But his true political views remain a mystery.

In this Ohio diner, conversion therapy is what the Browns and Bengals need after going 7 for 23 on third downs this weekend. But they do know this: if a Christian minister can't make your kid straight, no one can.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

OMG it’s a war zone I can’t believe that all of those 20 protestors dressed in animal costumes are not a serious threat to the rule of law. Everyone take cover or the chicken gets it.

Life during wartime. 🥴

Day 7 Zen

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.

Sadly and infuriatingly, you are absolutely correct. This regime is thumbing its nose at democracy and oversight. We have NO idea what they are actually doing in so many areas, because Republican Senators & Congresscritters have turned their back on their oaths. They are shameless cult members.

We no longer have a functioning Democracy. Senate Rs have abandoned all their Constitutional power. The administration is blocking Ds from their Constitution oversight responsibilities. We also have no idea who ICE has or what they are doing to all the children and adults they are taking.

Greg Abbott sends the elite Meal Team 6 from the Texas National Guard into Illinois.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Anyone remember Trump met with the Canadian Prime Minister today? Talked like Crazy Grandpa about Canada being the 51st state? Natural Conflict/Mutual Love? Displayed his bulging cankels?

Screenshot from a NYT article by Thomas Edsall, quoting Barbara Walter of UC-San Diego: "The quickest way to piss people off is to send soldiers into their neighborhoods especially when there’s no reason for them to be there. It’s inherently provocative, and Trump and his team understand this. Research by the political scientist Robert Pape shows that the single most powerful predictor of suicide terrorism is the presence of foreign troops on local soil. People hate, hate, hate that. They hate the humiliation, the powerlessness, the feeling of being occupied. "Once citizens begin to view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this. In fact, that’s the point. They are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns. In the end, violence serves their ultimate end: They want to create the illusion of disorder so they can tighten control and stay in power indefinitely."

Chilling insight by @barbarafwalter.com: "Once citizens view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this… They’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns."
