To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Israel is reportedly forcing 154 Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons as part of the ceasefire deal into exile and deporting them to an unknown country. Experts say the move is a violation of international law.

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

The fascists have assessed that they have nothing to worry about from National Democratic elected politicians. In fact, if they were ever to retake nominal power, many of them will do what they can to destroy their own voters who insist on action against the fascists.

Today, the Supreme Court effectively turned speaking with a Spanish accent into a presumptive crime.

Take notes

The renaming of the Department of Defense as the Department of War is an admission that so little of what the Pentagon does is actually about defense.

Continuous warfare means that any who breach American laws, borders or executive objectives can be treated as enemy combatants: Killed without warning, detained without trial, or renditioned to dark detention sites. This rebranding is a key part of Trump's authoritarian program.

The Trump rebranding of the Defense Department to the Department of War may seem just symbolic, but it's part of a larger campaign to mainstream the notion that America is continuously at war.
