if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

this is not to say that they’re going away any time soon or that things won’t get worse before they get better, but last week felt like the administration started coming unglued and this week feels like the unraveling is speeding up

A national political party could just send a bunch of electeds to Portland for a weekend to look around, with cameras following them. I mean, national news outlets could also do this, but OK.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

So why should I pay taxes when it is used for things like building a ballroom… a gifted jet retrofit… and $50,000 in a paper bag as a bribe? Why?

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 9h

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Mike Johnson’s insidiousness is taking center stage and we’re about to see fully the damage he’s capable of. It’s obvious he sees his role as freezing in place the House as a tool in Trump’s belt. Do not expect him to willingly relinquish his gavel.

Marc Maron nailed this. Also, the best film podcasts get this, probably because they understand what is and is not interesting to look at.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.
