A GOP that- Rationalized murder. Fetishized violence. Killed with remorseless glee. Pardoned violent mobs. Threatened genocide. Which raises the question: have Democrats gone too far?

A federal employee asked ICE to detain and deport a widow so he could gain the inheritance of her late husbandâs house, per a probate judge. At 85 years old, the widow was not likely the âworst of the worstâ ICE claims it targets.

July 21 1935: The FĂŒhrer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

The federal government â ICE, FBI, and more â is spying on you without a warrant. This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.

Iâll never understand these performances of institutional guilt at a time of unprecedented state assaults on free expression and academic freedom. Esp since the story of higher ed over the past decade is not a âwokeâ takeover of campuses but increasing rationales for and mechanisms of that assault.
