Karoline Leavett in her sadistic reading of the Renee Good killing told a reporter:
"You’re pretending like you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist".
Yeah, and you are pretending to be a press secretary, but you are a propagandist for a fascist regime.
Just end the "briefings".

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

Important reminder on that breaking point from Milton Mayer.

Hope everyone reads and shares.

We are at a pivotal point in American history.

Our President. Except that he has the military, nuclear power, a "bully" pulpit, an addled brain, and a political party full of shameless and unrepentant sycophants.

This is our country under Trump, and the Republicans won't stop him.
As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

The entirety of the GOP is complicit in Trump's authoritarian march. The party must be defeated and resisted at every level.

The constitution does not “offer” due process. It guarantees it.

Hundreds are missing from Alligator Alcatraz too.

The Trump regime engaged in human trafficking.

Republicans know it. The media know it. Rubio knows it.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

This man! Yes!
🚨U.S. veteran GOES ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR ON ICE:

"I've bled for this country, I've fought for this country—they're disgracing this f*cking country and what it f*cking means! They hide behind their f*cking masks like f*cking pussies! Get them out of here!" WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship.

No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

If one of us stopped paying Federal taxes, we would be fined and maybe prosecuted. What if all of us did?
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

Weak. Lincoln is rolling in his grave.
Sending jack-booted thugs to invade American cities.

Unilaterally launching wars and plundering foreign nations.

Suspending funding for states that voted against him.

Trump is the "big government" nightmare Republicans have always warned us about.

And yet they're silent.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

This lawless crap is being done in our name, with our money.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Powell is showing more courage than the majority of Republicans, big law firms, and corporations.
Reminder that Powell is one of the very few who is preventing the collapse of the US economy by defying Trump over interest rates.
