Nazi-esque slogans on official government communications? Yes, that's where we're at
Official U.S. government accounts are posting content with direct ties to white supremacy and even Nazi Germany.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement.

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously:
-Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it
-His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate
-Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

But local and state law enforcement show their faces, display badge numbers, and operate under strict, clearly defined procedures. What we’re seeing now is something very different. Masked officers, vague authority, no transparency, no accountability.
