I went on Fox News yesterday morning to explain that while the focus is on Minneapolis, Trump is trampling rights everywhere. All over the country, thousands of LEGAL immigrants, including little kids, are being disappeared.
That's what happens in Putin's Russia, not America.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

There were other things at play in 2024, for sure, but I can’t stop thinking about how this country responded to the possibility of a Black woman being president by electing the Klan.

between the lines the thing that no one is quite saying out loud is that the federal government seems to be shifting in the direction of deposing/abducting/(worse) Frey or Walz; Todd Blanche tonight is working to manufacture consent for the cessation of representative government in the city/state

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents.
