I’ve spent my career studying how regimes justify the unjustifiable. So when a civilian driver is labeled a “domestic terrorist,” I know what that language is doing — building a permission structure for violence. Minneapolis isn’t just a tragedy. It’s a warning. I break it down in my new essay.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

In 2023, two cops knocked at the door of Tupe Smith, a humble volunteer at the school in her small Alaska town. They handcuffed her in front of her young kids and took her to jail 72 miles away, where she was ordered naked and searched. She cried; she had no idea she’d broken any law.

If a Dem president wants to impound ICE’s funding, under that precedent, in 2029, he can go right ahead. It’s overfunded.
No Dem is going to use ICE like Trump does, and all of them voted against the extra funding.

I'm genuinely waiting for the good faith response as to why abolish ICE is not a plan. It's been around for 20 years. They just effectively abolished USAID which had been around 3 times as long.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation.
Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law.

A scorched boat washed ashore on a remote beach in Colombia. Then mangled bodies. And then empty packets, a few with marijuana traces. We matched the physical and digital evidence to a U.S. airstrike — and found a fishing community terrified to go to sea. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...
