In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:
‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Man muss mit NS-Parallelen stets vorsichtig sein, könnte mit Blick auf ICE dennoch im Grundsatz an Ernst Fraenkels Studie vom »Doppelstaat« denken. Demnach zerfällt der Staat in einen »Normenstaat«, der sich an Gesetzen orientiert, sowie in einen »Maßnahmenstaat«, der bloße Willkür walten lässt.

ICE is devolving under pressure.
And that's from a baseline of thuggish secret police.
With pressure amounting to people exercising First Amendment rights to tell them to stop unjustified violence, and following/observing/recording them as they do.
It's rotten to the core and will only get worse.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Carney: The US is now too hostile, too volatile, too untrustworthy to be a reliable partner. We must form new international structures.
Trump: Call me hostile and volatile, will ya? How 'bout some big tariffs that hurt both of us and undo previous talks. Who's unreliable now! Wait, where you going?

Die knallharte Pointe, als auf "legal right to observe" das Glas eingedroschen wird.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

Die Anzeigenstatistik 2024 zeige eine „massive Zunahme der Jugendkriminalität“, sagte Innenminister Karner im April. Doch seine Grafik zeigte andere Zahlen als Daten des BMI auf data.gv.at. Nach @profil.at -Anfrage löscht das BMI die data.gv.at -Tabellen. Was sagt das BMI dazu? shorturl.at/LZSxK
