Three weeks before Trump's inauguration, I began building a comprehensive archive of independent journalism on state violence in Trump's America—an abolitionist educational resource designed to counteract state propaganda.

Here's a navigation guide.

This is kidnapping.
Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.

They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

📽️ WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs.

Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

"The better way to understand Anchorage is not as the start of something new, but as the culmination of a longer process. As the U.S. dismantles its foreign-policy tools, as this administration fires the people who know how to use them, our ability to act with any agility will diminish"

This behavior is indistinguishable from the worst secret polices of fascist regimes of the 20th century.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

As someone who has learned from and reported on families who had loved ones disappeared in Guatemala, Chile, and Uruguay, I can say that countries rarely fully recover from the trauma and harm of disappearances. At the same time I have no idea how to report on this happening here in the US right now

Trump said he was going to Russia (instead of Alaska), and he may as well have done that. Putin just rolled all over him. The American people and Congress must stand strong for Ukraine against this humiliating appeasement.

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless.

But it raises a much darker question:

What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?

This is not the slightest bit surprising and it began prior to Trump coming back to power. As the idiot AG of Missouri was pursuing Missouri v Biden, Stephen Miller’s America First Legal sued me and my colleagues with the same forum-shopped judge and plaintiffs. Wake up: it’s a machine.
Wow: this decision in favor of Media Matters includes all sorts of key details concerning the Trump admin’s coordinated assault on the First Amendment.

For example: Steven Miller “seemingly” ordered Attorneys General in Missouri and Texas to go after MM.

Troops and federal secret police are not being deployed in Democratic and majority Black cities for law enforcement. That is dishonest framing by media. They're deployed for intimidation as a fascist provocation by Trump and Miller. It's about consolidation of power and control.
As President Donald Trump pushes the bounds of military activity on domestic soil, a debate has emerged over a nearly 150-year old law that regulates when federal troops can intervene in state issues.
