who is this "internet hippo" guy anyway. why is he always so smart
Despite its real problems this country isn't Weimar Germany to most people! These guys want to be Hitler so bad they're trying to brute force the conditions that enabled him to take power. Doesn't mean they can't do a lot of damage, but fundamentally this just doesn't work

These agencies are a direct, ongoing threat to the freedom, safety, and welfare of every person who lives in this country. That's it. They have to go. "But what about--" sorry we'll figure that out later. Everything is secondary to ending fascist goon squads

The trouble with Brooks is he's just endlessly infatuated with his idea of himself as a superior cultured intellectual. as a result he's incapable of actually learning anything, or still less contributing anything of real use to any intellectual project, let alone a political one

don't assume that all of these people were fine with ICE (and the rest of it) right up until a white male gun owner got shot. they may be folks who've been uneasy in their gut for awhile, but lacked an *excuse* to speak up about it /1
Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

I will not retweet the video, but what it shows makes absolutely clear that ICE is now operating on the streets of an American citiy -- and I say this with all due measure, lucidity, and rigor -- as a death squad

This will not be stopped by some external force. There is no allied army coming for us to greet as liberators. It will be ended by Americans or not at all. No one is coming to save us from ourselves.

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

Many people said you needed to act immediately in 2021 before Democratic inertia and Republican cultism whipped into full force. Instead Garland delayed and dawdled, seemingly with no intent at all of securing a real indictment, before washing his hands of the matter handing it to a real prosecutor
We did actually indict him though. That is a thing that happened. Twice.
Genuinely shocking to me that this same crew of people have spent a decade trying to convince us that Dems are relentlessly fighting Trump and in fact couldn’t have fought harder, somehow including a period where Dems had total control of the government and their AG wouldn’t even prosecute him

We have an executive branch that's on a crime spree against the American public. The other branches of government can use their constitutional powers to put a stop to this. If they decline to do that the only other remedy is in the declaration of independence

my theory: At some point during his first term, there was some insane crisis we never knew about - like, he was gonna nuke Iran etc - and someone (Tillerson? Milley? Merkel?) defused it by saying if he'd just be a good boy and play nice he could have a shiny Nobel just like Obama
