These people are actual demons
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

My assessment of the Trump national security strategy: "it sees the United States’ adversaries as partners in that war, but it does not see how much U.S. power relies on the voluntary assistance of other countries."
The Only War the White House Is Ready for Is Culture War
The new U.S. National Security Strategy is a moral and strategic disaster.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

is it better for countries to invest in boring things like transport and energy infrastructure or should they invest all their money in useless chatbots that talk in reddit-voice on the vague and completely unsubstantiated hope that they'll be able to do something profitable one day

“Warrior Ethos” is the kind of garbage spewed by fools who have no clue what warfare has been like since ~1789
"Warrior ethos." What bullshit. We don't have, nor do we want warriors. We have & want soldiers, members of disciplined teams, not individuals who do their own thing. I have a five paragraph vivisection of this in the forthcoming OUP Handbook of American Military History.

It’s VERY revealing that these folks think that being anti-fascist is a bad thing that should be punished.
MAGA front group in Alberta begs the Americans to ban me.
Here's the thing, I come from a long line of anti-fascists.
My uncles kicked Nazi ass all over Europe.

“NGO network that foments, facilitates, and engages in violence” sounds an awful lot like the antisemitic trope of the “International Jew” that was being hurled by the likes of Henry Ford and Hitler
"We're going to go after the NGO Networks"
JD Vance and Stephen Miller openly outline how they are going to crackdown on civil society and use the government to crush political opposition.

The NDP needs to boot Engler from the leadership race yesterday
NDP leadership hopeful Yves Engler went on JACKSON HINKLE's podcast 🤮
Hinkle is a huge spreader of disinformation, particularly pro-Russia disinformation, has called the LGBTQ movement “pedophile ridden,” and calls himself a “MAGA communist.”
This is...a choice.

People using the unaccountable secret police to settle private scores. Happened in the Soviet Union, happened in Nazi Germany, happens under lots of dictatorships. Happening now in the United States of America.
The lesson is, don't have an unaccountable secret police force.

"gig workers call ICE on their immigrant coworkers who they view as competition" is a pretty concise summary of the 21st century, cybourgeoisie class warfare as a way to discipline labor.

"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"
Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Same playbook as Nazi Germany creating and massively expanding the Waffen SS
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
