Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

I agree that we ought to use persuasion to bring people nearer to our political purposes; I think that making every single Republican a social and professional pariah for the rest of their lives would be very persuasive when it comes to people weighing the cost/benefit of aligning with fascism.

Nick Miroff: After 9/11, George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future terror strikes. Now DHS shifted from defending the country against foreign terrorists to deploying agents on American streets for the purpose of terrorizing American citizens.
‘Maybe DHS Was a Bad Idea’
Two decades after its founding, the department has become what its critics feared.

If you are a Republican, I do not think you are a fascist.

I *observe* that you are a fascist.

Dems need to stop acting like what ICE is doing is an accident, or a failure of policy, or a tactic of distraction.

It's the policy. And that's fucking terrifying, because it means that there's no negotiating with it, no ameliorating it.

There's only defeating it, or being defeated by it.

Step 1: Create street violence

Step 2: Blame enemy group for street violence

Step 3: Brutally oppress enemy group in the name of ending street violence

Step 4: Tell goons to provoke less violence for a sec

Step 5: "You have to give us more power so we can prevent street violence in the future."
Repressive regimes always create the very conditions of instability & unrest that they claim to "solve."

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.

At any point in the last 30 years the GOP could have backed Immigration Reform, funding for immigration courts to reduce backlogs and any number of policies to control immigration and they didn't to provide a wedge issue to gain power for this end game we are in now, fascism under one Party control.

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start.

Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

I don’t think this stuff is recoverable. I think these are the crucial four years where we just cede all basically all green tech production to China.

It’s amazing watching the U.S. cede the global auto market to China. We’re 24–36 months away from utter devastation in U.S. vehicle exports, because both automakers and the U.S. are scared of EVs, because a dozen petroleum executives have a whole political party at their beck and call.

ICE’s private prison contractors have erased all protections for trans detainees, including safeguards against rape — just as the administration blocks legal groups from monitoring detention centers. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: trib.al/sUq6Nzo

A long time ago, FEMA made a detailed list of large buildings in every state so that we could house most of the population after a full scale disaster. To SAVE people.
(Project 809)

These DHS bastards corrupted it.
And use it for cruelty. Look. 👀
