Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

no surprised that brett ”almost certainly flunked his remedial classes” kavanaugh thinks the constitution authorizes a race-based federal “papers please” regime. quick, someone ask him what he thinks of the fugitive slave act.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

I find it obnoxious how RFK Jr points to rises in noncommunicable diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease - which tend to be driven by social factors such as diet, stress, pollution, and longevity - to slander the CDC's demonstrable success in preventing communicable diseases.

The thing that blows my mind is there were dudes resigning over not having enough troops to invade Iraq and a entire “revolt of the generals” over the bush administrations handling of Iraq but when it comes to yet another deployment of active duty troops…radio silence
The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.
There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

Destroying government records is illegal and the people doing it should face grievous consequences. The attorneys overseeing it should be disbarred.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.
Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

"That’s what autocrats do. They cow public servants into submission—and in doing so, they create a closed system that is free of opposing views and inconvenient concerns. Their policy making, their ability to realize their aims, suffers as a result."

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.
In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?
Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.
