Right-wing Translation Guide: "western civilization" = white people "meritocracy" = white people get everything "common sense" = stuff white people think "farmers" = white landowners "working class" = white people who pay taxes "job creators" = white people who don't pay taxes

The version of "western civilization" that MAGA keeps invoking is highly selective and simply discards important inheritances, from international human rights law to limits on war to cosmopolitanism to the Enlightenment. (cc @frankfukuyama.bsky.social)

Attacks on Stephen Miller getting far more specific in this Daily Mail (why are the best right-on-right hitjobs always laundered thru the UK?). 1) He ordered confrontation w/protestors b4 CBP murdered Alex Pretti. 2) He countermanded Trump order not to focus on farmworkers.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking: Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

And Stephen Miller must go should be a pretty basic demand since they're in the basic demand business

Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social

In addition, this entire campaign has been orchestrated by Steven Miller and by the White House as one of their key priorities, so not sure these guardrails will hold with the mania they have for this effort. 3/

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti. It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence. newrepublic.com/article/2055...

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling. I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Let's keep Trump busy showing up for peace agreements and signing his BIG BEAUTIFUL SIGNATURE to them and getting standing ovations. He loves them, the world loves them, and it keeps his ego fed. If he gets to come back home, he'll just up his crazy to have the BIGGEST BESTEST STICK to hit us with.

The fact that Trump's crazy is what lead Hamas to surrender the hostages should not be a cause for celebration. What might be good for Israel now is a looming evil for the world.

If the Nobel Committee wants to retain any credibility, it must never even consider Donald Trump for a Peace prize until he reinstates USAID (or similar) at a minimum. And everyday he does not should count against him, because he will be directly responsible for 14 million+ avoidable deaths by 2030.

We live in the timeline where the POTGDUS and his fascist, sycophantic cronies, in collusion with the richest man in the world (and the other oligarchs just behind the curtain), have pulled the plug on life support for 14 million brown poor folks (at a minimum!), who are right now starving to death.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

We = ALL reposted

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

Remember that the Trump Administration demands you idolize these agents and not condemn them. But they’re Gestapo trash.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him. In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

NEW: The Trump administration's fiscal year 2026 budget request's appendix says with no details: "The President's Budget proposes to reorganize the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Census Bureau at the Department of Commerce" www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

🚨🚨🚨 The House GOP just passed the #MedicaidMassacre bill out of the Budget Committee. #CA22 Rep. David Valadao (R) won by just 6.8% (Dems have overperformed by 12% so far this year)... ...while up to 198,000 of his constituents (21.3%) would lose healthcare coverage if this bill goes into effect.

Remember when the US president was the most powerful person in the world? It shouldn't be hard. It was January. That said, thanks to Trump himself, that's certainly no longer the case. In fact, by my calculations he probably wouldn't make the top 25. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...

2/ First, just know that MAGA has given up on democracy. Wish it weren't true but it is. They would rather MAGA rule forever than run a fair election where a Democrat might win. This isn't some vengeance campaign. It's a brazen effort to end democracy.
