Horrifying watching Casablanca now as it takes place before Americans saw NAZIS as the big bad. They were a threat "over there," but now when ICE asks for "papers" we might get shot if we try to run.
This is real.
This is FASCISM.
Chicago is under attack.

The Boston Globe Test:
This satirical front page imagined a Trump presidency in 2016. Critics (including Trump himself) dismissed it as "alarmist" and "propaganda" at the time.
Do these headlines feel normal today? Even...quaint?
If so: we have grown more accepting of what was once unthinkable.

I find it amazing that the President of the USA tells Iran not to employ military on the protesters in Iran. On the same day he threatens to employ the military on Protesters in the USA.
Hypocrisy is not lost on me.

It’s clear what the regime is doing. They’re committing murder. They’re escalating violence in Minneapolis & beyond. They want a conflagration so Trump can blame the victims & initiate the Insurrection Act. It’s plain as day…and we need Dems in Congress to stop funding the lawless Homeland Security.

The term "Leadership Vacuum" comes to mind. Biden's retired. Kamala's MIA. Obama? "Not my circus" mode.
We get a little Pritzker here, a little Newsom there, mostly governors with full plates already, and Minority leaders stuck in 2015.
We've lost Soft Power too: news, tech, media all switched.

I genuinely don't understand the point of the Democratic Party right now
Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon.
The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling.
I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

@schumer.senate.gov - did you see Trump threaten to invoke the insurrection act on Minneapolis because people are protesting that his goons flat out murdered a mother?

Q: Would you be willing to leave NATO to get Greenland?
TRUMP: I wouldn't be telling you. But Greenland is very security for natl security. There's not a thing Denmark can do if Russia or China wants to occupy Greenland. But there's everything we can do. You found that out last week with Venezuela

Um ... Poland ... you might want to think twice about shaking hands with Nazis.
“One leader can solve this problem.” Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki told the BBC that Donald Trump is the only world leader capable of stopping Vladimir Putin from threatening Europe, urging strong backing for U.S. efforts in Ukraine.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.
