TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.
(I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

The Free Press put out a piece calling out Noem's lies about Alex Pretti's murder, and the comment section is absolutely furious.

Others have posted it but I will do so as well. In the 1930s, the Nazis imposed restrictions on the ability of Jews (and other undesirables) to get their money out of Germany. Bessent is promoting Nazi-style fiscal policies.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

And harassing people at a gas station nowhere near an international border has nothing to do with immigration or customs enforcement. Assholes.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Yes, let’s just ask Americans to wear a mask in public for a few months to keep old and immunocompromised people alive and see what happens
Rep. David Joyce on Trump saying girls should have fewer dolls: "The idea that the Christmas trade is already starting to slow down and there might be less around, I get it. I think the American people will understand that because the American people understand shared sacrifice."

Brazil has responded more seriously to a former president attempting an auto-coup to illegally retain power after losing reelection, and to online disinformation that helped fuel it. The example puts the US to shame.
Maybe something to do with dictatorship in living memory, and thinking never again.
