Sadists. Truly sick people.
ICE is thoroughly un-American.
Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

An audio recording Timothy Synder reading On Tyranny. It’s less than 5 minutes long for the whole book (abridged). Well worth the time to listen to.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.
Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance
However, they are weaker than they look…

Keep in mind Disney companies have 350,000+ employees. ABC loses its certification to be on air all those people lose their jobs. Can’t have billions tied up in a channel that isn’t on air. Trump and his FCC is responsible for this. That’s who our anger should be directed towards.

Disney is caught between an oligarchic rock and a hard place. If they don’t do Trump’s bidding they’ll bleed, if they bow they’ll be on the $$$ train. Of course they are more attracted to money than justice. Tragic.

When a president deploys troops to a state without its consent, not to maintain order but to incite confrontation, it's a blatant disregard for constitutional boundaries, reducing democracy to a spectacle and exploiting the military for show - a hallmark of authoritarian rule.
