The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing."

They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.
Breaking MS NOW:

The Trump admin is now eyeing Ohio for immigration enforcement operations that could begin as early as next week.

The operation is expected to target Haitian immigrants — with temporary protected status for Haiti expiring on Feb. 3.
ICE eyeing Ohio next, where it is expected to target Haitian immigrants
An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 Haitians live in Springfield, Ohio, a community that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance targeted during the 2024 campaign, falsely accusing the community ...

Among the many reasons why Juan Linz was right that presidentialism was a grave mistake, is that it puts the Justice Minister outside of the Parliament & under the purview of a separately elected Chief Executive, rather than under the control of the legislative branch by direct no confidence vote.

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely.

They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

The last year has done a great job naturally adjudicating the debate between “you can change public opinion on an issue by highlighting the negative parts of public policy and administrative action on said issue” vs “nuh uh”

All of this!
Learn from Jan 6th.
PUSH PUSH PUSH, now.

No time to take a breath and negotiate. No “this isn‘t the time to politicize the situation.” Fight now, twice as hard.
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

If you’d like to tangibly help Minnesota, let’s spread the word and donate where we can.

This is FAR more impactful than doomscrolling or angry posting fueling someone else’s doomscrolling.

No act of resistance is too small or insignificant.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Operation PARRIS is one of the most heinous things this administration has done yet. Trump’s people ordered ICE to round up 5,600 legally present refugees, people who have done NOTHING wrong, with no warning, and jailed them in Texas to be interrogated about their status.

As JD Vance starts trying to play "nice Gestapo" to Steven Miller's "mean Gestapo," it's worth emphasizing that what's happening in Minnesota is a direct descendant of Vance's knowingly false racist demagoguery during the campaign. "Somalis are low-IQ thieves" is "Haitians are eating your pets."

Just want to note that the two most popular public figures of the last week have been Jerome Powell & Mark Carney, & along with suggesting folks still like democracy & world order, it suggests a whole lot of folks may have a revealed preference for boring-but-serious central bankers as politicians.

All future appropriations bills should make it clear that zero dollars can be used for any social media post that is not a barebones announcement. And no pictures.

Zero dollars for any propaganda. Not just this fascist crap. But also def none for fascist crap.
Now, I’m no military historian. However, I’m pretty sure that’s not a common Revolutionary war tactic (and that’s ignoring the one guy firing into the air).

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Correlation Understander logging on here and I have to agree.

Only 7.2% of all receptions this NFL season were touchdowns. Meanwhile, of the 26 catches by linemen since the 2021 season, 13 were touchdowns, exactly 50 percent

statistically every pass to a non-lineman is a huge mistake
My model says that throwing to linemen is statistically one of the best plays you can run therefore you should do it every time.
