The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building. This is part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

so i study fascist messaging for a living, like it's my job to do it

Trump's messaging is an incredible combination of "so straightforwardly evil and cruel that it doesn't need much commentary" and "so convoluted and asinine that it'll take decades to decode"

Where does the country stand after the largest day of protest in U.S. history? Putting “No Kings” in perspective.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

All dictators are at their core petty, insecure people.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Can we now stop dismissing the Jade Helm stuff as a silly conservative theory, and instead see it as an unintentionally revelatory form of projection by aspirationally authoritarian conservative, “freedom fighters” who were battling against tyrannical phantoms that existed only in their own psyches?
Rep. Troy Downing on Trump's takeover of DC: "Hopefully this is a harbinger in what we see in these liberally run cities across the country ... we need to send in the troops, which is exactly what we're doing."

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.
