The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 ICE detains citizens because they get a bonus. Arresting citizens from USA & other countries provides the ICE thug with a bonus. They really don’t care if you have a visa with documents in order, they want a bonus, period. $$$💵💰 DO NOT VISIT AMERICA. America is a fascist country.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

Rachel Maddow has repeatedly noted that the US is nearing Harvard's 3.5% mark. The last No Kings protest brought out 2% of the population--the most in US history. If all those marchers bring 1 friend each to the March 28 No Kings protest, the US will sail past 3.5%.

In Germany the camps did not begin as death. They began as temporary, legal and administrative. "For public order", they said. They grew because space existed, because citizens adjusted, because each step towards extermination felt small. It was built, justified, one "warehouse" at a time.
