SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

My report:

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’

The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

Just a reminder the word remigrate is open Nazi language and should be seen as a threat of violence.

When the neo Nazis use this term their is another two words they use after it which are :or die

It’s important to understand the context that the word Remigrate is a threat to leave or be murdered.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

I’m becoming open to the idea that in five to ten years we might not be talking about “autism” or ADHD at all because the diagnoses as currently defined are no longer useful constructs for the classification of neurobiological symptoms.

but that’s just my private armchair speculation

The right-wing extremism of young Republicans has been evident for years, but it's never been a deal breaker for party elites. Remember the Nazi iconography in a DeSantis campaign ad? Nate Hochman allegedly produced that. Now he's working for Sen. Schmitt.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt's Nazi Staffer

Nathan Hochman was fired from the DeSantis campaign for making a transparently neoNazi video featuring the Governor, and has only doubled down on his white nationalism since.

"Republicans used to understand that special education isn’t just something nice thing to have. It isn’t charity. It is a right. Republican presidents signed the bills that codified the right to a Free Appropriate Public Education for millions of Americans."

Opinion | Trump's mass firings strike a hammer blow against Americans with disabilities

The GOP once supported special education programs. Recent dismissals at the Education Department put an end to that support.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading “monarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulses” and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother

Jo Kershaw @mthrjo.bsky.social · 11h

Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 13h

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.
