Trump's crew just unleashed a sweeping vetting dragnet on 200,000 refugees who found refuge under Biden, per leaked memo. This reeks of targeting the vulnerable who've already endured hell. #RefugeeRights

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

This is a REALLY good thread and explains Trump's clear overreaction to the video urging military members to only follow illegal orders in plain language

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sometimes it's not clear, so I'll clarify it:
Even if these are drug boats, simply blowing them up is illegal.
And if they aren't drug boats, holy shit it's illegal.

The sad state of affairs right now is that I’m skeptical of this. This could be Patel making s/t out to be more than it is (as he has done in the past) or this could be profiling or arresting political opponents without evidence (as other parts of the government have done). I hope it is real.
