At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions.

Quiero ver a esta pendeja fascista procesada ante la Corte de la Haya por genocidio.
The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

I feel a shift toward the tipping point. My advice is to do the things you love now. Spend money. Travel. Visit family/friends. Buy what's important. Stock up on necessities. We are on the verge of civil and global war, with a madman at the helm.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
