The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.
Call it what it is — fascism.
History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations.
That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group.
This is corruption of the highest degree.

While we’re out here trying to make an impact on the ketamine addict destroying our country… several Dem Reps thought now would be a good time to buy Tesla stock while it’s cheap. Our elected officials aren’t even on our side. No one is talking about this, Mark. These people need to be primaried.
List of legislators buying Tesla stock includes only one Republican
Americans and car owners abroad have increasingly distanced themselves from the Tesla brand since President Donald Trump's inauguration.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

I wish everyone had read this book when it could have helped prevent the current situation but I guess people really didn’t want to know. But it will help now. Read the thread then get the boom.
So I finished Sarah Kendzior's latest book. It is a necessary, yet sometimes painful, read.
It's necessary because Sarah fearlessly writes how our society actually works, and not how we wished it would.
Sarah's earlier career analysed how demagogues seized power in ex-Soviet totalitarian states.
