If you normalize the first step in oppression, there will be a second...and a third...and a fourth. We've seen this before, and I'm not talking about Nazis. Japanese-American internment. Chinese Exclusion. Indian Removal Acts. Slave Catchers. This is not new, so we have no right to act surprised.
Trump's ICE Nazis care about papers about as much Hitler's Nazis cared about papers — which is not at all. 😳👇q

MSW reporting an uncomfortable and (not very) complicated fact. Will someone please convince corporate media to follow these stories? Oh...wait...corporate media is irrelevant to anyone under 75.
Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

If any other president had said this despicable thing, it would result in immediate retractions and clarifications, days of media speculation about his mental state, lots of international criticism, and the resignations on principle of some staffers in the White House and broader administration.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

The inability to understand or relate to everyday citizens of this country seems problematic for people entrusted to be our leaders.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

If I were a news executive I would assign a f/t reporter to watch for the moment when Karoline Leavitt’s crucifix spontaneously combusts.
The WH responds to Trump's left hand bruises vis Sara Cook of CBS: "Per Karoline Leavitt 'At the Board of Peace event, President Trump hit his hand in the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.' A WH official also noted his aspirin usage. He didn’t have one at the start of the BoP event"

Given that it took nearly two years to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Trump, "pressure" is not the word to associate with Merrick Garland.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

People who think retribution against politic dissent is new are wrong. When I wrote for WhiteHouse.Org, a website that mocked the George W. Bush administration, all my boarding passes were marked "SSSS" which meant that everything in bags were unpacked out and searched. Nazism isn't new to America.
