Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.

Seizing another country's national resources by military force for US oil and mineral companies to plunder while refusing the recognize the opposition leader with zero regard for the well being of the Venezuelan people does not make us the "good guys."

A very important distinction between the Trump Admin and successful competitive authoritarian regimes is that the latter focus heavily on redistributing material resources to their supporters while the Trumpers keep the wealth for themselves and try to buy the rabble off with content and slop

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

Trump pulling out National Guard is also a sign that he isn't really deploying quite the dictatorial power that Stephen Miller apparently wants him to, and that the courts are still functioning, at least to some degree, as I suggested in this piece:
