Trump serves the same purpose for libs that he serves for conservatives - he gives them permission to be their worst selves. Conservatives view him as aspirational. Libs view him (correctly) as vile, and (falsely) conclude that they are good people as long as they're not quite as awful as him.
Freeze Peach means, and has always meant, "it should be illegal to criticize or mock conservatives."
Cancel Culture is about Freeze Peach.

Imagine writing these words, in February 2026, regarding the most vicious McCarthyite of the modern era: "Bari Weiss Hates cancel culture"

Everything that was happening in Minnesota 10 days ago is still happening.
It’s not over. It’s not better. It’s not even different.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

State's Attorney Burke says that federal agents are immune from prosecution no matter what they do. But that's not the law. Federal agents are *not* immune from state prosecution for objectively unreasonable and unlawful acts. And if Midway Blitz doesn't qualify, nothing does. (cont)
