I get this sentiment, but I think we have the leaders we've asked for, and I don't just mean Trump. Americans long ago chose consumerism and hedonism over civic responsibility and the past 25 years have been the bill coming due.

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"

(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

"You look around and think, 'Yep, this is it. Paramilitary deportations, apocalyptic foreign policy, and private corporations looting the federal government. This has to be the Fourth Reich.' Not so fast. It’s only the Fourth Reich if it comes from the Reich region of Germany."

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I spent an hour watching today live. I had to disconnect from it for a bit.
Conclusion that's easy to reach is one I reached a long time ago: None of this should be happening, ICE shouldn't in the streets, the military shouldn't be in the streets, and the blame goes right to the White House.

What legal rights do you have in encounters with ICE? Legal experts weigh in What rights do you have if you’re stopped by ICE on the street? Or if immigration agents come to your home? Can you sue if your rights are violated? Legal experts weigh in.

The Trump administration's immigration crackdown has sparked protests and prompted confusion over what ICE is legally allowed to do in public and private locations. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.
