“If we can endure this crisis, there will be a time of reflection and reform. It happened after the Civil War. It happened during the civil rights movement. It happened after Watergate. And when the time for reform comes again, it must focus on the abolition of the prerogative state.”
"'The key here,' Huq writes, 'is that this prerogative state does not immediately and completely overrun the normative state. Rather...dictatorships create a lawless zone that runs alongside the normative state.'
It’s the continued existence of the normative state that lulls a population to sleep."

First rule anyone who ever has press training - they can do what they want with their edit of your words so be careful what you say and how you say it. Because - well freedom of the press. But like everything else, this apparently doesn’t apply to our Supreme Leader.

Lots of folks had a strong suspicion what this would become when they named it. Remember thinking at the time the then rarely used term “Homeland” had definitely fascist overtones.

An accent is not a basis for detention. Period.
How much more in your face can it be?
"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"

"Put your hands behind your back."

at some point, you have to stop calling civil rights violations bait or dismissing it all as a distraction. you do, in fact, have to take the bait because that’s where the action is.
the leaders of the civil rights era could not propose or veto legislation. they had no "power." but they had legitimacy because they were out there. Letter from a Birmingham Jail was written...FROM JAIL. But with these guys "Hey it's crazy right now and we can't do much, but give us money." LOL ok.

I’m not buying the “training” excuse. They are doing what their superiors want them to. They know it is illegal and they are doing it anyway. This is not a training issue. This is a character and culture issue that can’t be fixed with training.

The Trump regime’s escalation in Minneapolis is by design.
The shortest path to an authoritarian regime was always Trump’s mass deportation campaign. It requires authoritarian infrastructure.
And it provokes a response that they then portray as “insurrection”- a pretext for seizing more power.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
