So the Journalists behind this 100% are just reprinting stuff sent to them by the DHS goons in their DM group digging for anything they can find to back up their bosses narratives.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Uh, Anne Frank was not there legally after all the Jews had been rounded up, which was kind of why she was hiding in an attic

I’m not sure there’s an idea in the world I believe in more strongly than YOU SHOULD DEFEND THE HUMANS IN YOUR COMMUNITY, which seems to echo what moral abscesses like PEG keep telling me, but their “community” is this abominable racial caste, and my community is just the people who I know around me

We literally have an organization called “Neighbors for More Neighbors.” Everywhere I go I see some neighbors and I’m always happy to see them. Some are young, some are old, some are black, some are white, who cares. It’s called community and the degenerate fascist freaks can never understand

another way of saying this is "we've been living under the specter of the Baby Boom's electoral dominance"

just a generation (and the only really distinct generation, too) with absolutely dogwater reactionary politics across the board

I mean yeah. Look at the lifetime of your average millennial:

Reagan: Ugh
Bush Sr: More of the same
Clinton: Meh
Bush Jr: Lots of bad
Obama: OK this is good
Trump I: Fuck
Biden: There were SOME good things here
Trump II: Fuckity fuck fuck fuck
obama was probably the best president of our lifetime and biden the second

which honestly says something about the current bar
In the fullness of time I think we'll all come to recognize that Obama kinda sucked.

My message to Durbin and Duckworth today was simple: if this isn't stopped now, before it escalates into warm weather and more places, nothing else is going to matter. This is the whole ball game.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.
This needs to happen at the very least

Trump is such a transparent asshole but there’s something so evil about how JD Vance hides incredibly callous politics behind that nauseating “well now good sir” faux civility.

to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

Current events make me a lot more sympathetic to “loss of virtue” as an explanation for past sweeping events. I don’t know how you explain what’s going on without reference to a widespread moral collapse that isn’t obviously reducible to other factors.

It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

one kind of weird aspect of this is that a relatively diverse federal agency has been sent to a very white city by white nationalists to do ethnic cleansing, where they're executing white people in the street

It's so amazing that "sorry chud but you DON'T have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms" is now literally the official GOP position
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.
The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

I wrote something for Politico about the real issue with Greg Bovino's overcoat. IMO, it isn't about whether the overcoat is tied to any particular regime, but about how immigration enforcement has become increasingly warlike in terms of strategy, discourse, and dress. 🧵

The bush torture regime of 2003 was what made me hate republicans and it was for this exact reason 👇
I think there are tools that can only be created by the depraved, and whose use, once created, creates depravity in the user. “I want JB Pritzker to send Stephen Miller to CECOT” is fundamentally depraved because the target is deserving but that consequence should not be open to anyone.

The feedback loop here, where the people ostensibly in charge of the most powerful government in the world are completely obsessed with and deferential to the conservative media-industrial complex, is what's going to get us all killed.
