There's a lot of recriminations flying around about past Trump impeachments and I would just like humbly to suggest we consider ways to force the removal from power of Stephen Miller. Could we impeach him? Defund his position? Bar him any access to legal authority? What tools can we conjure up here?
It’s astounding how much damage Miller has done — morally, economically, safety-wise — because he can’t stand brown people. We are so much worse off bc of him. And yes, there’s much blame to go around - Trump, Vance, Noem, etc. - but Miller is the heart of it (ironic since he seems to lack one).
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.
ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.
Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

Underlying this was that Pelosi / Dem leadership immediately gave up on pursuing Jan 6 impeachment as a serious attempt to obtain conviction. No Republican managers was another aspect of that. Delaying the Senate trial was another.
Maybe would have failed anyway, but they decided not to really try.

I’m sorry, this is just not correct. There were members that wanted to impeach Trump on Jan. 6.
Many people said if you waited, GOP outrage would fade. It did.
Pelosi spent days only cautiously committing to impeach, and fussing around with absurd stuff like 25th Amendment remedies.

McConnell adjourned the senate for two weeks the next day. There was no slow walk and this idea that republicans could have been tricked into being good but we just decided not to is giving them an out they don’t deserve.

To us who have been homeless, such brazen discrimination is routine. This society has nothing but contempt for us -- it sentences us to death by a thousand cuts.
What was most chilling about this exchange was the sheer casualness of "because of our homeless population," as if those experiencing homelessness were *obviously* people to be kept out.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

![I felt like I was 130 years back in time watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were being pushed and they were being killed and they were being asked to displace and they were being given some form of compensation," Cameron told the Guardian.

It’s why you should probably refrain from calling people “stupid”, “dumb”, etc…
It is not only ableist, but you are also doing the system of racism a favor.
There’s so many words and phrases to challenge someone who may be showing themselves to be intellectually divested in the moment.
