This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

The reasoning here is absurd enough that it should be part of the story: "Supreme Court rules that Trump statements that Haitians 'probably have AIDS,' are 'poisoning the blood of our country,' are 'eating cats and dogs," do not constitute racial animus."

This is the definition of fascism. He is trying to control the military for his own means - this is literally what Hitler did to take control of Germany.

Trump can fly to Bragg, give a campaign rally in front of uniformed troops, and tell them how to vote—and that’s just “patriotic.” But 6 veterans in Congress remind the same troops they must refuse illegal orders, and his DOJ tries to brand it sedition. It’s authoritarian hypocrisy.

RON JOHNSON: Are you aware of training for activists, Mr Ellison? KEITH ELLISON: Yeah I'm aware. It's common for people to use their First Amendment rights, sir

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus. It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway

We deserve answers from all of the people in the administration. They need to be pressed to answer for everything. What was decided by who and when regarding the trampling of our constitutional rights? Who are these ICE agents? Have they gone through any vetting and background checks?

if the Democrats fail to press these issues, we need to remove them immediately and force them to resign. Force every one to resign until we get somebody in the government who has the basic human decency to demand that all of this is explained to each and every American citizen. We cant allow this!

I'm going to call my representatives every day until they understand that this is not acceptable. This is not the country we want or deserve. I encourage you to do the same. Make them uncomfortable, and make them answer us!

And then once ICE is gone, we need to demand answers from this government. Did Homan accept a $50K bribe? If so why is he now the face of this government's ICE and DHS departments? Why is the president getting rich off of his office? Why is he pardoning criminals who have been convicted?

What is the accounting for EVERY PERSON picked up by ICE? Did they keep adequate records? How were they treated? What other crimes were committed? Why did the leadership lie to our faces? Why did they allow this to happen.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

You are up to date.
