Trump can’t control Minneapolis, but he’s trying to spread chaos. To be clear, he’ll try, but that doesn’t mean he’ll succeed.

More likely he tries to cause enough chaos in Blue areas to suppress voter turnout.

What to Do If ICE Invades Your Neighborhood
With federal agents storming the streets of American communities, there's no single right way to approach this dangerous moment. But there are steps you can take to stay safe—and have an impact.

Trump is a fascist. Which makes anyone who still supports Trump a fascist.
Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

I regret ever having a positive opinion of Michael Shermer. Even if it was many ago.
@jeymccreight.bsky.social on Bluesky
Shermer is of the people I detest the most from my atheist movement days
The first time I met him, he told me to wait until I finished my PhD before I wrote a book, because people would buy more copies
Shows how he uses his PhD as a tool to display authority, not as one for critical thinking

Nor did I imagine that five years later, Trump would not only be back in the White House, but he would be firing the first shots of World War III.

Five years ago today, the US government barely survived a coup attempt. I can’t say I predicted it because Trump’s supporters were broadcasting their intentions. I didn’t predict that what would follow was a placeholder government.

I extremely hate the policies and personality of Donald Trump to an insane degree but I’d be offended if China sent in team to kill a bunch of our civilians and military personnel and kidnap our leader and his wife and then declare that they now “ran” the United States, this isn’t hard

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.

Biden should have purged ICE when he had the chance.
@caioalmendra.bsky.social on Bluesky
The definitive proof that ICE was always a fascistic institution is that Trump didn't needed to reform It. No mass firing, no change in training, no mass hiring.
He simply said "go, my attack dogs, find brown people". And they went, because they were always fascists.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Cancel culture warriors should be up in arms over a college student demanding that a college instructor be fired because she taught things the student found offensive, but as I discuss in my new essay, Little Fascists Everywhere, their outrage is highly selective: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
![Excerpt from article: "The praise heaped upon a student who interrupted a class lecture to announce that she was personally offended by the instructor’s views on gender and who then proceeded to push to have that instructor fired is an illuminating contrast to the widespread vilification and punishment of college and graduate students who have protested external speakers on the basis of their views on gender. For example, students who protested a speech by a lawyer from the extreme anti-LGBTQ+ organization Alliance Defending Freedom at Yale Law School were accused of imposing a “heckler’s veto”; they were mocked, denounced, and “canceled” from consideration as clerks by several prominent, conservative federal judges. Stanford Law School students who disrupted a speech by a far-right conservative federal judge, Kyle Duncan, were similarly lambasted for their “intolerance” and similarly excluded for consideration for federal clerkships by conservative judges. These incidents have been frequently cited as examples of “snowflake students” trying to shut down discussion of topics they find personally offensive or unpleasant. In 2016, the founder of the Heritage Foundation described liberal students who protested conservative speakers as both “little snowflakes demand[ing] ‘safe spaces’ where they can be protected from words” and the “little dictators” of the campus. No one, however, has accused the anonymous Texas A&M student of being a “little dictator,” despite her hysterical and erroneous assertion that a viewpoint she found offensive—presented in a classroom setting by an expert on the subject being taught— was “illegal” and her announcement that she would be reporting the professor to the administration for that reason. None of the conservative cancel culture warriors ... have characterized her successful campaign to have an instructor fired for speech they didn’t like as “cancel culture.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uabrjr5kme2wfaskk56o2ais/bafkreifndk43t4q5zm6em756n4mspeislfiknhdk24tptqjcxp5lfkrlri@jpeg)

The basic truth is the University of Oklahoma fired an instructor because she had the audacity to do her job while trans. Media like CNN are complicit in simultaneously pushing the anti-trans narrative and covering up the brutal outcomes of this societal purge.
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.
