Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

It is clear that rightwing parties from reasonably moderate to far and extreme, are uninterested in the welfare and wellbeing of thr public or even their own voters. They only want to push their ideology, their petty self interests and their quest for their power.

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

All of these apply to MAGA, and *especially* to tech fascists, so...

from Ken Klippenstein: In other words, they’re targeting pre-crime, to reference Minority Report.

The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indica” (indicators) of violence:

anti-Americanism,

anti-capitalism,

anti-Christianity,

support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

extremism on migration,

extremism on race,

extremism on gender

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

An iron law of reactionary thinking: when they are in a weak position vis a vis an institution, they demand fairness; when they gain power, fairness goes out the window.

Which is to say: once the reactionaries take over higher eduction, liberal voices will be eliminated.

Some people get annoyed by my coverage of Thiel's Antichrist stuff.

But I'm trying to short-circuit an obvious memetic strategy by making it seem ridiculous and played-out as quickly as possible.

1. Your countries all suck.
2. None of you know what you are doing.
3. The US is better at everything.
4. All because of me.
5. I’m right about everything.
6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

Ooooh, okay, it's a bribery scheme.

#uspol #uspolitics #Corruption #trump #h1b #visa #bribery #fucktrump #fuckmaga

Andrew Fleischman (elsewhere) says:
Ohhhhh it's a bribery scheme.

while quoting Justin Wolfers noting:
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

embedded clip from white house order reading:
(c) The restriction imposed pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not apply to any individual alien, all aliens working for a company, or all aliens working in an industry, if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines, in the Secretary's discretion, that the hiring of such aliens to be employed as H-1B specialty occupation workers is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to the security or welfare of the United States.
