we are now focusing on those with CRIMINAL records says the administration that won’t stop lying about who had a criminal record or not and always defines someone being here in a way they don’t like as automatically having a criminal record
tom homan’s little speech means nothing has changed unless things change on the ground and even then, I can’t think of a person there who I’ve spoken to who isn’t in a “we’re not falling for it” mindset. Even a slight pause on this or that thing can be ramped up five seconds after Dems and media…

Like here's Elon Musk and Sen. Mike Lee calling for Ilhan Omar to be executed by the state just a couple weeks ago. (They love to do this cutesy thing where they're like "whatever the punishment is for treason *wink wink*," etc.)

But for real, it's funny seeing the Libs of TikTok account freak out when the whole "my enemies should be convicted of treason and be executed by the state" thing is something Elon Musk and Republicans say on a semi-regular basis.

As @hebagowayed.bsky.social and I wrote in our Guardian article on abolishing ICE, this is Homan threatening to gun down Americans for using their free speech rights to accurately describe ICE as fascist secret police.

Yes, hateful rhetoric, like Renée Good’s incendiary last words to the man who shot her multiple times: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Truly, this hateful rhetoric must stop
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.

Yesterday I had someone write "The Dems are in the minority. The GOP don’t need their votes to pass any bills."
But the DHS bill passed last week 220-207, with 7 Dems voting in favor. Massie voted against it. If those Dems had voted no it wouldn’t have passed. You never know what can happen.

The phrase "Gotcha Doomerism" has been coined by @kibblesmith.com and it's perfect for describing people who otherwise share my politics.
They believe they've already gamed out every possible reason something won't work politically. And it's almost always because they're stuck in 1990s centrism.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
