FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Book burning?
If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

So perhaps all the center-left pundit types who joined in the DEI pile-on were not in fact responding to public opinion, but were merely laundering their own reactionary instincts in a way that resolved cognitive dissonance?
DEI public favorability continues to be +19.
Pundits are wrong that:
1) DEI is unpopular. It's popular.
2) This recent support is thermostatic. This is NOT thermostatic. DEI favorability has been high throughout its existence (second pic).
