Shadow President and man who keeps the mass deportation trains running on time, Stephen Miller, is just fed up with being accurately labeled a fascist and a Nazi. Do not mock his looks, or his height, or the fact that he IS A FASCIST AND A NAZI.

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.

If we’re drawing up a list of people who should be in jail…

Donald J. Trump • O @realDonald Trump
Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!
Governor Pritzker also!

Must-read on Trump’s lawless Chicago invasion: “The president instructed federal agents to use extralegal violence against immigrants & citizens, pitting armed soldiers from 1 state against citizens of another… rubicons can’t be uncrossed.” www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

As it turns out, evidence shows that violence by far-right extremist far exceeds that of the left but yet the current regime is sending out the military & NG to suppress non-existent violence in blue states. Is this military show of force to incite violence?
