the only real, absolute limit on presidential power is the president’s own mental fortitude. all other checks and balances have deteriorated to near-uselessness. it has been this way for decades.

i think we often neglect the degree to which nixon’s resignation was a result of him having a mental breakdown over the mounting stress of Watergate and other humiliations
he was joking about a gun in his desk. he was talking to Kennedy’s portrait. he was drunk dialing DC personalities at 2:00 AM

These fucking animals are drawing guns on people for the non-crime of following them while following all traffic laws
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.
Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.
And a mob of agents killed him.

it's not as simple as a magic number you need to hit but studies suggest that it takes roughly 3.5% of the population fighting back to prevent democratic backsliding. this is an extremely encouraging stat out of Hennepin County.
This is a wild stat. It's a ratio of 15-20 observers per ICE/CBP agent.
The entire adult population of Hennepin County is about 1 million. This suggests 6-7% of adults in the county have undergone some measure of observation training.
Crazy level of community activation.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

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.

there has been a tendency in the 21st century to insist that the Holocaust was an event so unique that "never again" becomes ontologically impossible: to the right wing, history has only ever had one horror, and it exists only to be used to shield their own actions and bludgeon their enemies
The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Absolute indictment of our media that there isn't round the clock brow beat coverage of this insanity. They are absolutely capable of doing it but refuse to do so.
A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).
