Whatever we do, once we’ve managed to get out of this, we have to make sure of the following as soon as possible:

We've now seen a sitting U.S. senator tackled + handcuffed, Marines patrolling LA, immigrants rounded up in mass arrests without due process, a governor threatened with arrest, the White House openly musing about suspending habeas corpus.

That's not "tough politics," that's fascist muscle. 🧵👇

Better yet, watch the scene for yourself. This episode has some incredible quotes, but this is the scene I couldn't stop thinking about.

This comes at a moment in American history that evokes historic injustices like the Chinese Exclusion Act and early Immigration Acts. Targeting people by simple affiliation or nationality is just one more step to targeting ancestry (again — as we’ve seen throughout history).

Okay, guy. Good luck ordering local folks to do anything — you’re not our boss.

The student being targeted is a teenager. A young athlete who’s done nothing wrong. A teen isn’t a national punching bag for political points, and this isn’t defending fairness— it’s bullying a kid to rile up the base.

My grandfather fought in WWII against the mindset Miller’s advocating. It’s not patriotism—it’s fear, cruelty, and something far more dangerous than any foreign threat: the loss of our own humanity.

We’ve seen this before. Call it what it is: it’s fascism, wrapped in our flag and aimed at a cradle.

I can’t stress this enough: “If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you do not have to answer questions about your religious beliefs and practices or political opinions, and you cannot be denied entry to the United States for declining to answer such questions.” tinyurl.com/4hjb3bhc

7/ Growing up, many of us had examples of real leadership, including fictional characters with genuine lessons: like actor Peter Cullen’s “strong enough to be gentle” principle behind Optimus Prime, the heroic leader in the Transformers cartoon series.
