Bruce Harrell makes his closing statement for why he should keep his job after his poor performance as Seattle Mayor and this line says it all.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.
As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

The reason this moment is so fraught is because people are so comfortable. So make people uncomfortable. Show up to the protest. Be the family member at Thanksgiving that talks politics. Talk to your co-workers about the FCC and the New York Times lawsuit. Be That Person. Democracy depends on it.

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less.
The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

In July, Trump and his FCC chair Brendan Carr celebrated CBS cancelling Stephen Colbert—and Trump also threatened then that Jimmy Kimmel would be “next up.” Now that’s happened too. This is government censorship of comedians who Trump dislikes. This is the US constitution being set on fire.

My 2028 primary vote is for sale. The highest bidder is the Democrat who can convince me they aren't just going to return to normalcy but are going to actually going to hold these people accountable.

What’s at stake here is free speech.
Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.
We need to all stand up and speak out.

Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.
BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”
Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Bad headline: "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’ over Charlie Kirk comments"
Good headline: "ABC bows to government pressure to pull Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’"
Kimmel did not criticize Kirk. He said his death was being exploited and implied the killer was pro MAGA

I'm an antifascist. I have always been an antifascist, as any right-thinking person is. There is nothing to be gained in appeasing moral monsters when they ask for your submission, or your deft elision. You either stand firm or you will die in the ways that make biological death seem incidental.
