People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Seems like the president signaling his intent to use the military against democrats should be a bigger deal, or are we still pretending this isn’t happening
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.
yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.
Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

Central to fascism is jailing political opponents/dissidents, and the right is looking for any excuse to do so
like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

The US constitution does not allow US citizens to be rounded up on the basis of apparent race or ethnicity and require them to carry papers to prove their citizenship. Any supreme court that claims it does is illegitimate.

Forget the “This is the future liberals want” memes.

This is the present that conservatives have created.
A road rage shooting in Louisiana left a pregnant teenager dead, the authorities said, prompting surgeons to deliver her baby as she was on life support. Her baby was delivered by emergency C-section and was “doing well” in a neonatal intensive care unit, the office said.

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Just to be clear: the Attorney General informed the President of the United States that she has evidence of his child sex crimes, then lied to the public about said evidence to protect him.

If anyone actually cared about children or had any level of integrity, all of these people would be in jail.

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.

Just to confirm — anyone can buy a mask and an ICE vest, arrest someone off the street, detain them in a private camp with no contact to the outside world, and even refuse to give their information in court?
I'm stunned. ICE attorneys not identifying themselves in COURT?
