3/Trump could become the first POTUS to direct U.S. military forces against American citizens during peacetime. & he’s doing it in a situation where the “unrest” is mostly peaceful protests resulting from Trump’s efforts to inflame, hardly the insurrection, or domestic violence the Act contemplates.

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

I'm starting to think that, until he's finally gone, I should repost on a daily basis this 11,000+ word piece I published in @theatlantic.com about Donald Trump's serious psychiatric disorders to explain why, as a legal and constitutional matter, he was unfit for the presidency.
In the six-plus years since, every mental health professional I have come across has told me that my essay had it exactly right. I think every word of it has been proven right many times over.
Even today, he's still only going to get worse.

I know this kind of language is infuriating. They wouldn't be talking this way if they were winning though. A guy like Ogles - who hates the US, who loathes the constitution - is apoplectic about the resistance the regime has met in Minnesota. This is the talk of a bully who's being defeated.

Civil Rights Assistant AG threatens to prosecute journalists who give positive coverage to demonstrators in Minneapolis, equating demonstrating against ICE with robbing a bank.
Harmett Dhillion threatens Don Lemon: "Imagine you have a bank robbery that's being planned by a number of criminals ... and then a podcaster says, 'Let me embed myself in here and come along for the ride and livestream the crime.' That would not be protected by the 1st Amendment."

ICE was so scared of one elderly man that its agents couldn't muster the human decency to let him get dressed before they dragged him from his home.
This cruelty won't cow Americans, it'll just make us angrier. ICE sows the seeds of its own destruction with every one of these abuses. ABOLISH ICE.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.
The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.
This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.
