THE TIME TO STAND AGAINST TRUMP IS NOW

Trump could expand role of national guard for ‘quick reaction’ to unrest

Schrödinger’s Stock Market
How markets factor in Trump came up in the Fed firing oral argument today at SCOTUS. SG pointed to lack of market reaction to Cook's firing as a reason why the impact is not so bad, but no discussion of whether market assumed courts would intervene, and so on.
The TACO cycle:

Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.

So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

It's a "Boy who cried wolf" conundrum.
Here’s the really bad part: over time, this dynamic breeds bigger and bigger crises.

Markets keep updating their beliefs about TACO, so it takes ever more extreme actions to convince them he might not TACO.

Buckle up.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

You know what law was intended to prevent state legal regimes from racially profiling families and abducting children who might be caught without a parent? The Civil Rights Act of 1866. You know, the law to dismantle the Black Codes.
Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

New in PN: Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment

"The Department of Homeland Security deliberately confuses reasonable suspicion and probable cause in hopes that no one will notice that ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure."

There is evidence every day of the US government torturing it's own residents. And occassionally of killing them. Whether in the light of day or the shrouded secrecy of detention centers.
This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

Without complicity of elected Dems, we would not be here.
I'm sorry if this sounds radical, but I don't think Dems should be voting to give this deeply unpopular, lawless, fascistic secret police force billions more dollars.

Raw Story: While recounting the victories of the first year of his second term, Trump recalled renaming the "Gulf of Mexico" the "Gulf of America. The "Gulf of Trump," that does have a good ring, though. Maybe we could do that. It's not too late."

We're not calling this Civil War is because it's not how we think of our 1st one, w/ factions of the country against other factions, just all citizens & residents

This war is literally our government waging war against the rest of us 2 subdue & quell dissent, 2 perfect thir brutal dictatorial coup.
Welcome to Minneapolis. Our neighbors have witnessed too many war crimes at this point. Federal agents even left weapons on the ground.

Minneapolis is up for the challenge. Which is at once inspring and tragic.
As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts.
