Classic authoritarian logic: corrupt people by giving them an incentive to do the wrong thing. In 1933 and 1938, years of major assaults on targeted groups, the Nazis forgave the debt of other Germans to bind them to the regime.

Q: Amazon paid $75m to make & market this film. It's an exorbitant fee. Many Americans think this is Bezos trying to get in good w/ you & they would call it corruption

Everyone forgets “American Skin (41 Shots)”…that one was pretty darned direct
In his most direct protest song in a long career of activism, Bruce Springsteen is singing about the ICE occupation in an incendiary new tune “Streets of Minneapolis."

Being disturbed doesn't change anything.
She’s right
Warren: "I know there are Republicans right now who are seeing what we're seeing in MN, and they know it's wrong. It's time to speak out. Silence is complicity. Grow a spine, show some backbone. Being 'disturbed' doesn't change anything and the ICE agents who are waving around loaded guns know it."

This is precisely why looking only at Noem or Baldoni focuses too low; it's the same myopia that caused the Garland DOJ to focus on those who defecated in the Capitol and attacked officers, but not the people who planned and caused them to be there and protected them after their crimes.

She’s right, and I’m glad we finally have congressional candidates unafraid to say what needs to be said.
Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Something has changed in recent weeks. The lies are no longer about shadowy figures wielding great power and influence. They are now targeting everyday citizens — people standing in their own communities, in front of their homes, protecting their neighbors. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...
Lies, violence and the American state
Trump abhors democracy because it allows ordinary Americans to reject his lies. Even worse for Trump, it allows us to reject him.
