Let Trump's "dictator" comment serve as a reminder that this is not simply "Democrats vs. Republicans." Or "Left vs. Right."We've been pulled into a struggle between democracy and fascism, between freedom and strongman tyranny. Know the stakes.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Here's how WaPo and the Times
handled this.
The Times didn't mention the anti-Somali racism. WaPo simply said Trump "revealed his thoughts about Somalia."
WaPo cited Trump praising Hell's Angels without noting he did it while attacking "vicious people" from "the Congo."

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

A mass dumping of U.S. debt and dollar reserves by the EU would likely cause the dollar to collapse and trigger hyperinflation.
