History repeats itself in ugly, violent ways and yet each generation of awful people think THIS particular era that they are being awful is different. The justifications and narratives for sadistic human behaviors changes each era but the basic dehumanizing and sadism is the same. #psych101 #momsky
The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war. This set off a chain of events which can give us a useful perspective on where we are now.

Terrifying update by Timothy Snyder: "In certain ways, the autumn of 2025 in the United States has recalled the autumn of 1938 in Nazi Germany..." Is ICE essentially a national police force?

Schumers right! Cassidy-Crapo are proposing junk insurance with none of the ACA consumer guardrails that protect us! A gift to insurers!

Let’s face it, Trump’s new National Security Strategy has nothing to do with protecting our freedoms or values or our cherished way of life and everything to do with maximizing deals for billionaires and Trump cronies. A betrayal.

Unclear where this war profiteering plan came from or why it emerged right now, but clear that it is in every way disastrous
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

You just described my nightmare … where soon women cannot go anywhere alone.
There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
Why is ICE harassing women?

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

The worst kind of overreach...Being named should be a badge of honor for media organizations telling truth to power! Bravo to WaPo, CBS, CNN and MS NOW!!!
I know we are getting anesthetized to the monumentally dangerous and unconstitutional things this administration is doing.
But take a beat and look at this. The official White House page creating a page with “media offenders of the week” and “hall of shame” that is full of actual good journalism 😵💫
