When Ziblatt is talking about the lessons from Weimar for the present day, you listen. Chilling.

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

This isn't about immigrants, legal or not.

THIS is a military attack. Make NO mistakes on that. They're about to force this to happen, so the Mango Moron can order troops into those cities. TO oppress, suppress & harm the people of those cities. This is a mortar barrage, not a police action.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead?

These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

There is a special run in hell for these people. #FuckGEO
GEO Group is the private, for-profit prison system group that is making money, hand over fist, running concentration camps. #FuckGEO and just for good measure #FuckAvelo.
✈️ Most of the people picked up by ICE raids in Los Angeles will be taken from the downtown facility to a GEO-Group run prison 90 minutes away in the desert town of Adelanto.

That facility is only a ten-minute drive from the airfield at Victorville, which has seen an uptick in ICE Air traffic 👀

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Billionaires work very hard to keep the peasants distracted and divided so they never notice how badly they’re being SCREWED and unite against the billionaires.
