Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Yep.

Most of them have no idea what it is, or what it means.

Sad.

🧵

Yesterday, Stephen Miller had one of the most terrifying Freudian slips I've ever heard.

He claimed Trump has plenary authority (absolute power)—before cutting himself off.

Today, Trump said Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson should be *jailed*.

This is how authoritarian regimes talk. (1/3)

@cnn.com is #complicit. I thought everyone knew that.

One of the Trump Administration's most openly fascist moments and CNN edits it out.

Tells you everything you need to know about a news network that has a firm policy against telling you everything you need to know.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

It's out at the Dispatch:

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree.

Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

Stephen Miller is responsible for a lot of the awful shit going on around the country. He has an autopen by the name of Trump who signs it for him.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 6h

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Jess is right: The regime #FA, we are about to #FO, and it will not be pretty. For anyone except Big Ag.

He has no intention of swearing in Rep Grijalva. Worthless POS.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Republicans are fighting to ensure that Americans in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a raft of other red states pay DOUBLE what they paid before for healthcare.
