Americans should get ready for an unprecedented abuse of power in the next four years. Trump is coming back more emboldened, more powerful and it seems all guardrails have either been removed or rendered powerless. We will have a first taste of what authoritarianism looks like and it won't be pretty
During the last days of Trump 1.0 after the insurrection, it became a mainstream idea that whoever was part of that administration should be ostracized in every profession where they could go to seek jobs. Five years later, they've even become more powerful and emboldened.
Total societal failure.

I understand that people say Latinos are not a monolith because they come from different cultures, countries and have different belief systems but I don't think Latinos in general, after seeing this past year, should have any reason to support the Republicans.
It can't be worse for them than this.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

If arresting these journalists was done in order to suppress press freedom and silence opposition, it's already a failure because it will have the opposite effect.

Pam Bondi needs to be removed from her position immediately. Every action she has taken since becoming the AG has been in the interest of Donald Trump, and not the interest of the country. She's Trump's personal attorney. This is bad for the rule of law and equal application of justice.

- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE

UPDATE: Minnesota Department of Corrections puts out a statement refuting Bovino’s lies about the man they say they were arresting before they killed Alex Pretti.

We shouldn't forget that the reason why 3000 federal agents are in Minneapolis is because Nick Shirley made a propaganda video that claims to have caught Somalis in the act of defrauding the govt. He was later caught to have made everything up.

Events like this show us once again that Republicans think of themselves as more American than anyone who doesn't support them. They want a two tier society where certain rights and privileges only apply to them.

Trump posting a picture of the permitted gun as justification.
This is the obvious-est thing to say, but imagine Fox News & the GOP if federal forces under a Dem president shot a man who had a permitted gun, & the president then used the mere fact of that possession to make light of it.
