Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear.
Disappoint them.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:
"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"
And see what happens.

To review, the FAA administrator was forced out because of a business vendetta of Elon Musk’s, Trump froze the hiring of new ATCs despite staff shortages, Musk launched an underhanded attempt to hollow out the whole federal workforce, and then the first US airliner crashed in 16 years.

Hesgeth and Vance use the Washington D.C. airliner-helicopter crash to make anti-diversity, equity and inclusion points, suggesting it was to blame for the collision.
The Vice President didn't even open his remarks by referencing the victims or families - just straight into anti-DEI points.

As someone who has flown into DCA a so, so many times, I am thinking of the victims and their communities and I am wondering why military training helicopters are allowed anywhere near civilian flight landing paths, especially at night. I am sad, and I am angry.

In a day of terrible news thing that scares me most--because even now I think it might have gone another way--was Stewart Rhodes of the Oathkeepers, just released from his 18-yr J6 sentence, on platform behind Trump at his Vegas rally. Not "just" commutation; full promotion of paramilitary force.
