ICE is now fining foreign nationals who aren't carrying their "papers" $130. In 8th grade Mrs Goldsmith told us that was the difference between the US and the USSR: we didn't have to produce our "papers" & could travel freely in our country. Another bulwark destroyed....
SC shooting:"Investigators think the shooting started as a dispute between two or three people who grew up together in Beaufort County and started firing at each other."(AP) So tell me how it wouldn't have been better if these jokers couldn't have GUNS?
Sadly, Americans in other places getting their news ftom RW sources will never doubt his version of events & will build that into their inaccurate & racist views of people not like them. Itxs a tragedy.
"...He spent weeks suggesting Portland is “on fire” and declared, about Washington: 'When I got here, this place was a raging hellhole.' Trump now suggests Washington crime has fallen to zero, which also isn’t true."--AP
"deploying troops to cities gives Trump the opportunity to paint Democratic opponents as soft on crime while overstating — often in apocalyptic terms — how bad the problem really is. He then exaggerates the results his crackdowns get....
In fact, Trump's "tough on crime" in blue cities REALLY means unhinged attacks on Latinos by unidentified ICE agents. The most flagrant lawlessness in these cities is committed by these guerilla wannabes, almost all White. It is a shame we will not live down.
"The vast majority of Americans, 81%, see crime as a 'major problem' in large cities, even as statistics show violent crime is down across the nation following a coronavirus pandemic-era spike." You mean, the majority of non-urban Americans watch "law & order" & assume cities are hellholes...
"Trump has embraced the kind of tough-on-crime approach he has always campaigned on but was unable to achieve with the naysayers who often checked his most extreme instincts during his first four years in office"- you mean,the ppl who told him what was lawful & constitutional vs what he wants....
So it turns out he believes his own BS. He has spies on the ground in Venezuela bcs, number 1, "they emptied their prisons into the US." That was never true.

"It's getting worse. The fact is that Trump’s authoritarian apparatchiks are tightening their control over the key power ministries of the federal government. And they are getting more aggressive in asserting their power over the private sector and civil society."

It’s Getting Worse.

"We really have to retrain the entire government to focus on this left-wing violence problem. We are doing it.” If it were true, the govt would already be focused on it. Instead, they had to pardon 1000+ Jan 6 attackers at the Capitol. Decidedly right-wing
“Because we have such a big problem with left-wing political violence, we have to train the investigatory and law enforcement powers of the government to focus on that particular problem,” said VP Vance....
BECAUSE this is true, the T admin is embarking on a propaganda project to embed the opposite idea in the minds of Americans....
"...Other studies published after the Department of Justice wiped its own study back up the claims that far-right political violence is more prevalent than left-wing violence."...
"Domestic terrorism in the United States is primarily carried out by right-wing groups, as the Department of Justice asserted until mid-September, when it wiped a study saying 'the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.'...
Lisa McClain, congresswoman, says of BBC there is nothing to negotiate abt to reopen the govt. That's dishonest. You want Dem votes to pass the CR? Dems want the health care credits extended. That's what there is to agree to, or negotiate.
JDVance says 40-yr old Rs making jokes about blacks ; jews are just kids & why are you upset? Ppl saying private citizen Kirk said racist things? Out of your job & out of the country!

She wasn't "arrested", she was assaulted, kidnapped, & is being unlawfully imprisoned for playing music during a peaceful protest.

The chump administration is openly trampling the rights of Americans to instill fear & silence dissent.
