“What began seemingly as a putative crackdown on so-called ‘criminal’ immigrants, the ‘worst of the worst,’ has revealed itself to be exactly what it is: a brazen attempt to instill fear in and demand obedience of all Americans.”

What's unfolding in cities is 'terrifying escalation' of what we saw in 1968 Chicago

The action of federal government agents at Donald Trump’s direction demonstrates all too clearly that what his administration really wants is to intimidate American cities.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

Abolish ICE.

Tweet by Robert Reich (@RBReich): “Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.” Below is an image of a police officer on a bicycle overseeing a protest scene at night.

Republicans are using this shutdown to block the Epstein files and bury healthcare protections at the same time. When corruption meets cruelty, it wears a MAGA pin.

Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die.

And what did Republicans do?
They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

I am concerned about they will do on Saturday. They need to create a crisis because they can't hold on to the Epstein files much longer.

So "bizarre" that President Miller has been using the word insurrection for weeks now. Gosh, it's so bizarre it's almost as though their talking points are coordinated by President Miller ahead of time. Who could imagine?

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.
