This, by @claireberlinski.bsky.social, is a smart, thorough comb through Trump’s use of language, and what it says about him — and robustly makes the case that no-one has to be qualified to make a diagnosis to point out what everyone can see and hear.

We found three cars full of masked ICE agents in a residential car park. Our guide asked them if they had a warrant, they refused to answer. I asked them several questions about what they were doing. They then made obscene gestures at us. Shortly afterwards, a drone appeared circling our car.

Deeply weird and menacing scenes in Minneapolis. ICE agents sat in masks and balaclavas in unmarked, often blacked out cars, watching local residents. They themselves being observed by a network of locals, trying to deter them from mounting raids. Profoundly abnormal.
