The present moment is no longer about politics, it's about ethics, which is more fundamental and universal than R v D or left v right.
There are people in this country who are aware of what time it is in American politics and those who are still living in the 1990s.
2025 is 1860.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Perfidy Pete put all US civilian planes and ships at risk in his ploy to murder unarmed civilians.
See “consequences”
This is the same law that says you can’t pretend to surrender to gain an advantage. Why? Because if you start doing that they will just shoot everyone that surrenders to protect themselves. Plus they will now target actual civilian planes for fear it’s a ruse.

Also, since there is a pretty clear cadre that are doing it the most (side eyes my senators) it actually speaks more about that cadre then it does the party itself.

It's been almost 2,000 years. I assure you that Christians who are antisemitic already know that Jesus was a Jew and have reconciled that problem in one of several horrible ways.
This information will not stop anyone, we've tried.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

norms around perfidy are a key reason why combatants in global wars very rarely shoot down civilian aircraft that may overfly the area.

perfidy (concealing a military object as a civilian object like Hegseth apparently did) is both morally abhorrent and also puts EVERYONE in danger because it erodes existing and pretty-dang-effective norms around “don’t shoot at civilian aircraft.”
