They always try to paint us as violent. Almost as if us being violent helps them and hurts us.
Stephen Miller wanted dead ICE/CBP agents as a basis for escalation, but they weren't getting them, which undermined the whole "strategy" (I use this term loosely) and spooked everyone else, since the chaos wasn't in their favor...is my take

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Trump is ordering his untrained goon army to go into states that did not vote for him to kill and maim people. That is the story.
If this is about "border protection," from "drug fueled" countries in South and Latin America: why isn't ICE in Texas or Arizona or fucking FLORIDA.
Oh wait, I know!

What People Magazine is doing is very important because it’s not the view from “the right” or “the left.” It’s the view from reality for anyone with a functioning brain
They’re calling balls and strikes with “here is what happened” and “here is what was said.” It’s calm, straight-forward journalism

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.”
No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true.
This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

Has anyone admitted the SJWs were right that MAGA were a bunch of incipient Nazis and our society was rife with seething bigotry that was barely being kept in check by social pressure?
Have any of the pundits who wrote dumb takes about the moral necessity of staying on X yet admitted that the woke social justice warriors were right?
Hanging out with Nazis is always bad. And in this case, it helped legitimate X’s further descent.

The regime’s desire for authoritarian domination is infinite, but its capacity is not.
Every act of resistance, every time anyone says no, makes them spend more of their limited resources.
It bogs them down, tying up resources they’d use to hurt other people.
Enough of that and the regime breaks.

Important lesson here is always make them go through every step. One person may not be able to stop the fascist train alone. But everytime everyone of us does something to slow it down, it adds up, and gives more opportunities for others.
Serious credit to Gov. Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and a bunch of people in and around Chicago who stood up to illegal, unjust, un-American, rights-violating anti-immigrant (or sometimes just anti-brown-people) federal operations.
If they weakly acquiesce like some others did, courts don’t take it up.

Baru Weiss is a textbook example of the Peter Principle in action
the shitstorm that’s already brewing because of Bari’s decision to spike this story is going to end up being vastly more damaging to her and to the admin than allowing the story to air would have been
she’s an evil propagandist hack but she is also very bad at doing it in a way that isn’t hamfisted
