As the U.S. government attorneys are taken to task by the courts about how many law enforcement officers they have to fight peaceful protests, it’s nice to have a baseline reference to call out their misrepresentation.

The Trump admin is considering designating Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization.
Thomas E. Brzozowski argues this move would create an unprecedented expansion of counterterrorism authorities into the domestic political space and threaten civil society.

Designating Antifa as FTO Could Threaten Civil Liberties
Trump's plan to designate Antifa as an FTO has implications extending beyond anti-fascist activists to the architecture of US civil society.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.
At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Decided to re-up this piece on Emory Upton, who was arguably the most influential American army officer of the late 19th century. Despite his significant contributions to the professionalization of the officer corps, he also laid the foundation for the "apolitical military professional"
