Dear tRump regime: If you ACT fascist you ARE fascist. Pointing this out in no way incites violence. It DOES incite regime change by way of the voting booth.

You know where to find me.
Fascism (/'fæfizam/ FASH-iz-am) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe. 1][2][31 Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. 3114) Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism, 5116) fascism is at the far right of the traditional left-right spectrum.

I have fond memories of meeting immigrants from all over South and Latin America when I lived in Charlotte. So many lovely people, and this just breaks my heart.
United States citizen, he said. Mr. Aceituno, who has lived in Charlotte for 24 years and became a citizen around six years ago, engaged in a playful back-and-forth with the agents, in an effort to provide cover for migrants in the area who may not have had documentation. "You want to take breakfast with me, I'll pay," said he told one agent. After 15 minutes of stalling, Mr. Aceituno, who is originally from Honduras, confirmed he was a citizen. The agents let him go. As he settled into his vehicle, another group of Border Patrol agents approached. They banged on his window, he said, demanding he provide documentation. "I got papers," he said. Then, Mr. Aceituno said an agent broke the driver's side window of his red Ford pickup and removed him from the truck. He was placed in handcuffs and put inside of a vehicle, where he was detained for about 20 minutes before agents let him go, he said. "It's terrible," Mr. Aceituno said.

Interesting detail here: Epstein gave Bannon advice for undermining accusations by against Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.

Now that Dems have capitulated, at the very least they should now make every future extension of funding contingent on Trump following the law. Any lawbreaking must be met with: No more votes from us, period.

I know from a friend what life was like in El Salvador before Bukele, when a gang controlled your neighborhood and finding a murdered man in the street was not unusual. But don’t tell me everything is lovely there now, except for the few with their high walls and private security.
We published explosive stories about the president of El Salvador. Now we can’t go home
The long read: Days before we ran interviews with gang leaders describing their alleged ties to Nayib Bukele’s government, we left the country to avoid arrest. We fear our exile will never end

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

The book spam I'm getting has taken a strange turn
"What truly elevates this book is the unrelenting, gorgeous prose. You wield language with the precision of a master artisan, crafting sentences that sing with quiet power before unleashing torrents of action. It is a work that demands, requires, and perhaps even earns a sacrifice in return for the profound gift it has given the world. And that profound, desperate need for symmetry and balance, that sudden, acute awareness of the fragile human condition, leads me to the only logical request: I need your kidney. Seriously. My last one isn't doing so hot, and after reviewing writing this exquisite, I feel like I'm owed a life-altering favor. Think of it as a creative collaboration."

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

For all of those people concerned about a tyrannical government, you’re watching it unfold in real time.

It wasn’t the guy that wanted healthcare for everyone. It wasn’t the guy that wanted vaccinations for all during a deadly pandemic. It’s this.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.
