Think one of the more chilling things I’ve ever seen up close - which made me an early adapter of calling him a fascist - was watching Trump whip a stadium full of supporters in Greenville, North Carolina into a frenzy about Omar, watching a sea of his Red Hats chant “send her back!”
"Trump and His Party Have Put Ilhan Omar in Danger for Years"
The Minnesota congresswoman has weathered years of racist smears from Trump and his right-wing lackeys, in the lead-up to Tuesday’s attack on her. Zeteo has the receipts.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Crazy how Trump's lawyers have never seen anything Trump has ever said or done.
Judge Menendez asks about Trump's quote: "Your day of retribution is here." She asks what she's supposed to do with that.
Mayers says he hasn't seen that Truth Social post.

It is not an exaggeration at all - at all - to compare this to how segregationist terrorists would murder peaceful civil rights activists and then their political and civilian allies would immediately laugh about it.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

This is so profoundly horrifying on so many levels. I don't even know what to think or to say about the agent not even devoting his full attention or both hands to threatening to shoot and then actually shooting this woman in the face.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

One notices that Hegseth avoids quoting what Kelly actually said in the video. Because the video he’s calling “seditious” basically reiterated the enlistment oath to support and defend the Constitution.
The Pentagon will cut the military retirement pay of Sen. Mark Kelly for what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the Arizona Democrat’s “seditious” statements on a video telling service members they have the right to refuse to execute illegal orders.
