If aliens in a movie did to Earth & humanity what fossil fuel executives do in real life, we'd cheer at the climax when their spaceships blow up & cheer even louder if their quislings (like bankers, politicians, PR hacks, & corporate lawyers) were aboard.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

And it helps people learn how these systems actually function. Preserving widespread ignorance about how things work--and therefore how to change them--is actually one of the reason political consultants don't like telling the truth.

Now, most Democratic leaders tell various lies in every single public statement and press conference--about what causes crime, about immigration, about health insurance, about genocide, about war, about inequality, etc.--because they don't actually represent the interests of ordinary people.

This consultant class has enormous sway over Democratic leaders and their aides. And they're hoping people won't notice that Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer are standing on large steaming piles of shit.` But people definitely notice if you don't offer meaningful solutions and aren't worthy of trust.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had
removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews.
In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship.
Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

One of many problems with "training" propaganda is that it portrays violence by government as unintentional and accidental. E.g., as something not central to what those in power *want* ICE to be doing. In other words, Democrats pushing "training" are lying to people about the goals:
