Truly hilarious headline from the Bezos-owned Washington Post yesterday.
Never, ever let the guys who control half the wealth in America and just got billions of dollars in tax breaks tell you we shouldn't tax the rich.

According to the judge, they're detaining people—the vast majority of whom are lawfully present—and moving them to different states and facilities within a matter of hours. But when it comes to releasing them, it takes two weeks. The attorneys don't even know who is in control of that.

Good thread:
🧵 Kate is right about how Bannon’s rhetoric is meant to intimidate and depress participation. But I’ll add a fourth level/pillar to her thread: visible, real-world community response. Minneapolis shows how observers, neighbors, and organized pushback blunt fear by refusing silence. (1/9)
ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working.
This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose.
Let me explain & offer some advice.

Denaturalization as criminal punishment is not a thing in American law, it's unconstitutional under any circumstances. It can only be done in the narrow case of somebody who fraudulently obtained the naturalization itself. Otherwise they are no different from natural-born citizens who commit crimes.
Schmitt: "Your words that don’t mean anything aren't going to stop what’s coming, and I want you to take that back to Soros and all these ridiculous funders you have. Because justice is coming. And by the way, if I have it my way, we will be denaturalize all these fraudsters and send them home."

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
