One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

Part of the secret of how this works is that, if you are in the "founder" tier of guy, a bunch of stuff that you count as "work" is stuff an actual worker would get fired for doing on the clock

One presumes that Tom Homan is very disappointed in Tom Homan for the heated rhetoric that he says led to these brutal ICE executions.

I’m going to say $89 to go since 88 is the Nazi number 😬

If I could raise $110 for electric that would be great, but I’ll put that on my card if need be 🫡

I’m JaimeKayA on capp & vnmo. Thanks a million! 💜
Gotta raise $298 for myself now. Hooray! 😮‍💨

For transparency, $298 includes the cost of the instant transfer fee. I have an $80 medical bill not shown here

Thank you for the consideration 💜

I’m JaimeKayA on capp and vnmo if you want to help 💜

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

Bad things are happening for trans people in Kansas...
It plainly invalidates all driver's licenses held by trans people if they've changed their gender markers. It requires them to turn those licenses over.

They don't have a list to check but now any out trans person could be ratted out by family, friends or coworkers and have their licenses revoked.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."
--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

remember what JD Vance said of the ICE agents that arrested this little boy: “what did you expect them to do?”
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

you can’t fucking dox a public official!
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent
A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”
Um, holy shit? This has gotta be up there in the most crass & worse things Trump has ever said

DHS is a disastrous kludgy mess created in the panicked aftermath of 9/11 and it has not for a minute of its existence made “the homeland” more secure

it should absolutely be dismantled
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too
“The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"
Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.

Reminder of the pattern: when the real trump falters, he is removed from the news and replaced my in headlines by a fake, imaginary trump who is instead doing reasonable and popular things.
Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

yep, just left voice mails for warren and markey, but they don't, ya know, suck, and i am grateful for that.
I just called my sorry ass senator, Schumer, and reminded him he works for ME and nothing less than abolishing ICE will do. Nothing. Less.

Now off to call my equally spineless senator, Gillibrand, and tell her the same.

PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY, PEOPLE!!

One thing I think it notable here is that Weiss talks about being for "the center." She's doing that thing that Elon Musk does where he goes, "Actually, my views are moderate. I don't get why people say I'm far-right." It's an effort to shift public perception of what "center" or "moderate" means.

There are two kinds of people who do stuff like this:

1. People who want to fight back against right-wing media (see: Media Matters) and need to immerse themselves in the right-wing media ecosystem to do so.

2. Cryptofascists.

I think this article is about the latter.
these people seem like idiots
