"What [MAGA authoritarians] fear most is the plain truth of being human."
Interesting reflections. Not the main point of the piece but it's pretty astounding that MAGA figures think the anti-ICE protests are operating in Trump's political favor, as Alan shows here. Let them think that.

Megyn Kelly’s response to Billie Eilish’s anti-ICE speech at the Grammys was to tell her to shut up and “sing for me, bitch.”
MAGA can only see artists and art and something to be subjugated and controlled.

So wait, the plan of the House Republicans (avg IQ 75) is to invite Bill Clinton, who appears to be basically absent from the Epstein Files, and give him a chance to talk to camera for like 8 hours?

Oh, the pearl-clutching that will commence when future US leaders take steps to remove Trump constructions in DC. "How could you insult..." and "you have to accept that..." and on and on.
Ignore it. These are aberrations, illegal, a stain.

Yeah and put a masked armed ICe Nazi around the right 15000 polling places could depress enough votes
Always remember THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS. In the realm of Online, they can just say things and have them treated as true. In the realm of Real Life, there are 115,000 polling places in America and DHS has like 15,000 dudes total.

Should these freaks get confirmed, it’s critical that Democrats remove them from the bench by any means necessary.
Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

Democrats will now get the fight they should want: a hardball negotiation over DHS funding alone. And it looks like they're in a pretty strong position.

Fascists will tell outrageous lies to your face, on purpose, in order to test whether you’re so committed to civility that you won’t breach decorum and call them out on it. If you don’t, they consider that a win. If you do, they’ll immediately flip to being a victim and whine about your rudeness.

what I keep trying to communicate to the people who are Mad Online From Afar that we aren't doing cool opsec stuff in Minnesota is that we've got people named *Tippy Amundson* who are the vice-chair of the Norwegian Heritage Society in their leafy suburb out on patrol
When an ICE agent detaining them began to seize, the women urged the other officers to call 911 and let them help.
“To do that, I had to take his weapon that was on his hip and move it around to the front of his body,” said Tippy Amundson. “Nobody stopped me from touching that weapon at all.”
