Steve Bannon:

"All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things, they'll bite on one, and we'll get all of our stuff done"

Another aspect of this tactic is to muddy the information ecosystem with misinformation to generate distrust between the public and the news media.

Strongmen rule by creating chaos and keeping is off balance. Do not stop...do not give up!

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Actually, Mike, if you're a young, pregnant American citizen woman who shows up in an ER in TEXAS or some other GOP-run states, THEY WON'T TREAT YOU AT ALL.

They'll wait until you're dying of sepsis. Then, when you're brain dead, they'll hook you up to tubes and treat your corpse as an incubator.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Just a reminder! If you're buying books in support of #BannedBooksWeek buying from Amazon undercuts the broader project of social justice supporting the right to read is a part of. Get your banned books absolutely anywhere else!

Amazon is the invisible backbone of ICE’s immigration crackdown

Lobbying dollars and a cozy relationship with the government have given the tech giant an outsize influence in the Department of Homeland Security.

Absolutely, sometimes one well-placed truth speaks louder than hours of evasion. Accountability can’t be dodged forever.

Reducing illegal immigration is a legitimate policy goal; forfeiting our humanity — and robbing others of theirs — to achieve it is not.
