i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Rep. Sara Jacobs is one of the top 15 wealthiest members of Congress. She is set to introduce legislation today that would—if enacted—work against her own self-interest by increasing her own taxes.
“I think of it as taxing trust-fund kids, to create a trust fund for all American kids.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

So here we have a situation where we need four votes to stop this bill.
