open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... This tyrannical Donald Trump-Stephen Miller immigration tactic is working as planned. Terrifying Americans is the goal.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Agree. Let's not Merrick Garland this one. Let's enforce the law and the constitution.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Fragile masculinity + perceived status loss + tribalism + income equity / oligarchy have given us American fascism.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

open.substack.com/pub/sarahken... "ICE is a new and unnecessary creation, formed in 2003, that wages a war of terror on civilians. ICE obeys the wishes of elites who seek to break the law. For everyone else, ICE promises only fear. Good’s crime was that she was not fearful enough."

Trumpism is war on truth.

open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... Trump just wants to see a flag in the snow. He just wants his name on the album. There is nothing more than the madness, and that is where we must begin.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us. Listen to 'Autocracy in America' here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... All of us can be victims of the conspiracy story that Trump is telling: that all evil has to do with immigrants and drugs, and that everyone who wants democracy and human rights in the US is somehow part of a giant invisible immigration/drug/antifa conspiracy.

This regime needs to lose Congress and the Senate. It needs to be dismantled piece by piece by piece. Impeach, remove. Impeach, remove. That means we need a whole new class of Democrats sweeping in. I fear for what happens if nothing changes—if the GOP holds both houses.

open.substack.com/pub/sarahken... "the US invaded Venezuela. They kidnapped its president. The agenda is oil, but the motive is what it always is: because they can. If no one stops them, they will do it again: to Cuba, to Iran, to Greenland, to outer space. " Sarah calls out brazen American piracy

open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped -- so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is more about regime change in US than Venezuela. It only succeeds as fascism if Americans allow it.
