It’s amazing once you realize how much of the world we lived in was entirely based on the honor system. It becomes a quite scary thought that one person can really do a lot of damage very quickly with very little effort and that no one did before was just all because they agreed to the honor system.

This is blatant self-dealing corruption, like Trump's claim he is owed hundreds of millions of dollars for being investigated and prosecuted for his crimes.

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

There's no America without immigration
Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.
ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.
He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.
