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.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

Knowing that they have the full support of the federal government, the Proud Boys are going to try invading Portland again.

Since Portland residents won’t passively accept it, this attack will only serve to reinforce the fascist narrative that the city is a war zone.

On Friday, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio announced on his podcast that because "it seems like [the] Portland Police Bureau is not doing their job," "the Proud Boys will be coming back to Portland" in "one capacity or another."

👇 This!! There is no confirmed reporting yet that this was a case of arson.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 1d

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.
