JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

It makes more sense when you remember that the "entire US press" is just 7 corporations controlled by megabillionaires who are heavily invested in Amazon stock.

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 2h

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I think since America doesn’t know Puerto Rico is a US territory, they should take their hands off of it and give them independence

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Chicago Latina Shot by Border Patrol Survives, Lawyers Up

“La Maggie” Martinez survived a federal shooting in Chicago. Now her attorney says body-cam footage shows the agents provoked it. The public deserves to see the tape.

A tweet from Mayor Brandon Johnson says Trump has tried to unjustly arrest a Black man and he’s not going anywhere. A reply from Donald Trump says the Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

First of all, enough with the racist, xenophobic garbage.

Second of all, what if this young pregnant American citizen woman is going to die if she continues with the pregnancy, Mike?

What about that??

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

The hearing was rife with warning signs for prosecutors. The judge set a faster-than-requested trial, despite millions of pages of discovery. He emphasized he would not let DOJ drag out the case with disputes over classified evidence

NEWS: James Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that followed President Trump’s demand to prosecute.

The judge set a Jan. 5 trial date — but Comey is expected to try to kill the case before it starts, including by disqualifying Lindsey Halligan

Black people create our own communities after being unwelcome/harmed in others, the vulnerability and resulting violence is our fault? But if we “integrate” the resulting over-policing, discrimination and violence is…price of admission? Seems like “historically speaking” is just a dog whistle.

Joburt @joburtus-maximus.bsky.social · 7h

Historically speaking this kind of thing hasn't gone well for black people. But if it's what their community wants then I don't think we should fight them on it. I don't want to be around anyone who doesn't want to be around me.
