That quote is not out of context, the full version is worse.

If the political crisis in the U.S. happened in a Third World country, the New York Times would write a story headlined “(Country X) Is Fast Becoming a Dictatorship.” So why not that headline for the U.S.?

ICE is transferring people in its custody away from family, lawyers www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

This is really a stark example of abject political cowardice and how the administration brings it out of people January 2025: introduces legislation making reparations for the Wounded Knee Massacre Yesterday: I don’t have an opinion on calling it a battle

It happened again. Multiple people shot at Mormon church in Michigan and shooter is down, police say apnews.com/article/morm...

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

So we've had two white male Marine veterans commit mass shootings this weekend in Michigan and North Carolina leaving at least 4 dead and a church burned down. I'm sure MAGA will declare it an epidemic and push to ban white male Marine veterans from owning guns any day now.

In new memo, Pete Hegseth says 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will be "called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days." Follows Trump's call for a military response in Portland. Has similar feel to deployment to L.A. that began in June.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

I explained in this piece last month the legal principle the Supreme Court will use to end marriage equality. It may not be Kim Davis's case but it will be a cleaner case within 3 years I think. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/08/13/s...

The right: calling us fascists is violence Also the right: "We want blood in the streets, we choose violence."

I went to the ICE facility Trump claims is "under siege" by antifascists and "other domestic terrorists." There were four protesters there, one a thoughtful young man in a chicken costume www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave.

Anti-trans hate group Genspect is formally calling for trans people to be repathologized. This is most certainly to set the stage for mandated conversion therapy and potentially forced institutionalization. archive.ph/yA2Wh

Remember, this is what led to the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (which led to the arrest of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver): the city's concerns that the building was not inhabitable. After that, inmates escaped thru a drywall exterior wall.

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend

Are we still a country?

The oligarchs are going to make sure they control all the media, that includes video games.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

Well now that parts of the Epstein Files are finally being released we know why friends of Donald Trump have been fighting non stop to suppress them. Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel were all taking pedophile island vacations

This sounds crazy but it’s literally just a plain, accurate description. Again, like all the rest of the lawless authoritarianism, this Article III constitutional crisis is really an Article I constitutional crisis. Congress could end this nonsense at literally any time. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.

It's obvious Interference STINKS TEXAS STINKS

The man appears to be the same officer who was caught last month on NPR audio aggressively arresting a court observer.

Ahaaaaaaaaaa

The Supreme Court is hopelessly corrupt. If and when we get a non-fascist government back, they should pack the damn thing with reality-based justices. Add 5 more. 11.

If anyone knows anything about this ICE agent, you can reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Defund the Supreme Court.

If someone from another country explained that their president could violate their constitution's plain text but that it was completely legitimate because lifetime judges who belong to political parties said he could on the "shadow docket," you would laugh at them because their country is primitive.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

@darrenpjones.bsky.social I couldn't support UK ID cards ('Brit Card' is utterly cringe, btw) for one reason above all. The government's liking of contracts with: 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗥. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗪 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼-𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹. 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗞 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀. You trying to lose the next GE?

Six Justices shockingly conclude that it's likely the Impoundment Control precludes an otherwise valid APA claim to require expenditure of obligated funds. This argument, which turns the ICA on its head, is so absurd that the Trump DOJ itself wisely disclaimed it a month ago. Utterly lawless.

You might also remember when Ken Starr was forced to resign from Baylor University for failing to act on the reported sexual assaults of at least 6 students.

More from Mazie Stilwell: "President Trump is willing to use political power against anyone who disagrees with him. While the details of Dr. Roberts’ detainment have yet to be released, we cannot let him, or anyone in America, be detained without due process."
