People keep comparing MAGA/ICE/CBP/MAHA to 1930s Germany.
It's also more and more like late 1960s China, during Cultural Revolution. Or mid 1970s Cambodia, during "Year Zero."
A war against knowledge itself.

“I was honored to have been invited to the isolated cabin where Savannah Guthrie’s mother has been strapped to a cot for almost a month,” said FBI director Kash Patel
Prove it, Madame Secretary.
Also, what is a private citizen doing with access to her devices? Musk isn’t part of the government anymore.
You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal
The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.
Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...
In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite “black friend,” Clarence Thomas.
"refugee" - the most well off group in my country, who still own most of the private land, who rarely live in poverty think they're oppressed for reasons I know but are too ridiculous to explain.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
No kids or nannies in this photo.
Every time you fly through an airport you have to see Noem's face. But she never has to see any ordinary traveler in the air security system she oversees but refuses to use. She also lives on a military base rather than pay for housing or have real neighbors.

We are living through a period where we have mass government layoffs literally causing countless deaths while at the same time DHS has so much money that Noem will have a different luxury jet for every day of the week

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
Please call and write your senators. Having this woman as our Surgeon General would be both dangerous and embarrassing.
In 2020, the FBI came to my house to try to ask me questions about a story I'd written. I declined.
For this.weekinsecurity.com, I wrote about the back-story of what happened that day and after, my outstanding questions, and why press freedoms have taken a major step back under Trump's second term.

Watergate is an overused benchmark, but it's the one most Americans are familiar with.
That scandal involved a president trying to cover up a crime that was basically breaking and entering by his subordinates, a misdemeanor in most places.
This one, meanwhile ...
simple harassment of Blue States, continuing their war against the constitution.
The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money.
In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.
Taxation without representation.
I would like to have a word with the insurance genius who decided that teeth don't really count as "health care"
Vance should just go back to lying about pet-eating migrants
These people are really sick and pathetic. They must be worried about the size of their penis. How else can someone be so worried about trans people.
The Ayatollah dumbass is talking about died in 1989. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Lt Gov Peggy Flanagan: "It rings pretty hollow when what they are doing is essentially hurting some of the most vulnerable people in our state"
That Ayatollah (Khomeini) died in 1989— & this is what his wikipedia page says about him & nukes: “...Mohsen Rafighdoost, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from 1982-1989, insisted Khomeini had opposed his proposal for beginning work on both nuclear and chemical weapons by a fatwa…"
Actually, it’s hurting children.
Newsom keeps a pair for when he visits Silicon Valley
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
