It’s the 1990s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see at Ruby Ridge and Waco reflect entrenched practices of law enforcement.
It’s the 2000s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see under the PATRIOT ACT reflect entrenched practices of American law enforcement.
It’s 2025. Guess the fuck what.

oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them
Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

I knew the moment liberals were visibly armed, they'd start cracking down on it.
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

"Obama's coming for your guns". Uh, sure.
Trump just cancelled the 2nd Amendment: "Trump Blurts Out ‘You Can’t Have Guns’ at Protests." Trump apparently wants all protests to be gun free zones. Love that he sold out his base on this one! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Democratic Senators are moving in the right direction with drawing a line at DHS funding — but they need to understand how to negotiate with extremists.
Starting position should be: DON’T FUND ANYTHING until demands for accountability at ICE, BP, and DHS are met.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

He's....licking his own boot? He doesn't know it's not his boot at all, and it never will be. The boot in his neck will never belong to him (and that sounds absurd, and of course it is, isn't it?).

Definitive NY Times video analysis. Obviously, many people filmed the shooting. But it was the woman in the bright pink coat who (apparently) captured the iconic image of Pretti, hat off, falling to the ground, his killer pointing a gun at his back.

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally
