When I said this was government by family annihilators who believe themselves to be patriarchs of the whole world, everyone yelled at me but it’s become increasingly more obvious by their own propaganda.

They can’t take it with them but they can try to take everyone else out on the way
disturbingly plausible

Responses to ICE Violence Reveal a Racial Double Standard - The American Prospect
The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good are getting national attention. The brutality against primarily Black, Latino, and Asian immigrants has not triggered the same outrage.

I need to start drawing distinctions between “low-info voters” and “high-disinfo voters.” One can be motivated and educated. The other is a tear down job and we don’t have time for that.

Given that any "training" or "practice" mandate imposed on ICE will depend on the Klansmen and Nazis of the Trump administration following through, I don't understand why the top priority for Democrats is not *taking away money* from ICE. It is the biggest source of actual leverage.

Imagine where we'd be if everyone involved in stealing the 2000 election was exiled to a labor camp, and everyone who rolled over for it became a hermit.

Huge respect to Georgia Fort for continuing to report what was happening and why it was unconstitutional while the Feds were literally at her door.
Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

Remember when Obama kicked Fox news out of the WH press room and the WH press came together as one to decry it and force him to reverse it?

I do not, sadly and tragically, expect something like that, now. Everyone in the WH press room wants to keep their access to the Autarch and his Wormtongue
You could imagine similar situations in which members of the media coordinated in solidarity around Lemon to direct sustained negative attention to Trump over this story. Instead the political press spent the earlier part of the week making up a fake story ("new tone") to help Trump.
This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Everything a smelly president does is inherently illegitimate. Can't be trusted to wash himself, can't be trusted with any decision.

ICE is going to kill again, after whatever this is. Then what?
The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow.

Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

I signed up to watch the Melania movie in Boston for 50 bucks. The guy who Ludovico Technique'd me into the seat smelled real bad, and at the end the $50 was a Hobby Lobby gift certificate.

The only Democratic statements I want to hear about the Trump gestapo are like this, from the awesome Philly DA Larry Krasner. No less truth, no less fire.
"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."
