Don't fight back, they just want an excuse. Don't get violent, they'll invoke the insurrection act. When the fuck does the line get drawn? When is it bad enough on its face that standing there and fucking taking it isn't the answer? It's coming, and I can no longer see how it doesn't end bloody.

All these shots of ICE wiping out on ice reminds me of a time in college, walking along Grand, when I hit a patch of ice on the sidewalk and took a spectacular fall just outside of Hmong Handiwork. Like four people converged on me instantly—“Are you okay? Do you need help getting up?”

Dr. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has written many powerful works, but this one stopped me dead in my tracks when I first read it. Please take the time, and share widely.

All they really had to do was NOT touch the money and they keep TOUCHING THE MONEY

I have not seen verification of this, but I expect I will at some point all too soon...

But for real, where are the Epstein Files!?

A signed judicial warrant, if we get to pretend that laws still apply.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

May be the millennial in me, but an unexpected package triggers a sense of panic vis a vis data security. So my company sent me condolences for my dad in the form of a memorial wind chime set. I'm actually touched. And relieved I don't have to scour my transactions and change all my passwords...

Over the past two days, protesters urging Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol to leave their cities took to the streets from Minneapolis and Chicago to Houston, Texas; Portland, Oregon; New York; Oakland and San Diego, California. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/photos-...

Is this what Trump had in mind for his “Golden Age”?

“Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”

This moment is vile, but temporary. What isn’t temporary is how history will remember ICE. As the wish dot com gestapo of a pathetic wannabe dictator. Soon their masks will come off. And they’ll be remembered like fascists before them. And their descendants will try to forget they ever existed.

This.

Resistance members are being targeted this week. It appears to be the return of Stalinism. What’s happening right now looks uncomfortably familiar. It feels like the return of Stalinism, not in the old, Cold

Fucking cowards. Good for that franchise at least.

Maybe it is because they don’t want to be complicit in supporting the regime’s atrocities when this is all over…. More of this please?

Oh for fuck's sake...

No prior president has simultaneously asserted such wide-ranging executive authority while aggressively sidelining the legislative branch not just in foreign affairs but in matters of the purse. It sets up a uniquely dangerous threat to the constitutional order:

Overnight the President ordered the invasion of Venezuela and capture of its President. While Maduro clearly is a corrupt and illegitimate thug who oversaw the destabilization and suffering of millions, the fact remains that the U.S. President is acting on authority he does not have. ⬇️
