I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as ‘war-torn,’ it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying Kristi Noem

Dickinson displays wisdom beyond his years –he is 26—as he reflects on “the purpose of bringing a costume to an authoritarian consolidation”:

“What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

“How far we have fallen,” @elliotkirschner.bsky.social laments.

"What we have seen today with an unprecedented gathering of senior officers called back to Virginia is a betrayal of all that should define our national security. . . . I can only imagine the incredulity of those in the audience."

His vow to 'crush every threat to our freedom' with the help of people in the room is a despot's fever dream. It's clear he means that domestic opposition to his agenda is a threat to freedom, which is completely backward: repressing dissent is the single greatest danger to the republic today.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

Trump spreads deepfake nonsense, pushes MedBed conspiracy lies, and invents FBI agents at January 6. He threatens military force in Portland against dwindling protests. His dementia signs grow as paranoia drives prosecutions of political foes.
Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Also, it’s critical media coverage does not normalize this in any way

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons.

Hegseth puts us all at risk
Why put all the American commanders in one room?

Any journalist or commentator who writes a wrap-up of this speech that suggests that any of it was normal, worthy of respect, not absolutely deranged, not an insult to the audience, not an embarrassment for the US, should be relieved of their jobs.
