the way out of this is two-fold: (1) mass cooperation with our neighbors— a historic DIY effort at the zip code level to ensure sure we’re fed, safe, housed, connected, and have medical care. (2) pervasive noncooperation with this illegitimate regime. 🚨i’ll say it again: hide regime targets now. 🚨

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

Contributing to campaigns for Dems who refuse to acknowledge reality and just want to do business as usual and take no action to fight fascism? Why? That would simply reinforce their behavior.

You have executive powers also.
You lead a sovereign state! You have emergency powers to respond more swiftly and to exercise more direct control over state law enforcement, to directly order the arrests of federal officers committing state crimes outside the bounds of their federal authority.

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.

Invading our state with military troops.

Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night.

Arresting elected officials asking questions.

His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street.

Separating children from their parents.

Creating fear.

Taking people for “how they look.”

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

YOU’RE the one doing the shooting Lisa Murkowski b/c your sheer cowardice & betrayal of your oath makes this possible.

And you’re the one Bill Cassidy.

And you’re the one Susan Collins.

And you’re the one Thom Tillis.

And you’re the one John Thune.

And you’re the one Joni Ernst.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.
