I think Trump has made a fatal error that could hasten the end of American Fascism under the right circumstances. I’m not saying it’s a done deal by any means, and I’m not saying there isn’t intense danger ahead, but it really feels like he stepped right into a motherfucker of a mess.

They’re killing people in the concentration camps. The kids they’re not killing are going through some of the worst trauma humanly imaginable. This is what’s happening outside the people we’ve seen murdered in broad daylight. Lock the fuck in, people.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed.
As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack - the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

The trauma of this event will reverberate in everyone who witnessed it. The tragedy of the American Right is that they don't *believe in trauma,* and so all they do is turn it into outrage and revenge. "Feelings aren't facts," I heard once. But unexamined feelings lead people to distort facts.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

If 200,000 people spread across four states had voted differently, we'd be talking about the policies of the first black female president. Instead, Trump wins a razor-thin race, is still able to be defeated, but Bluesky is full of people who want to imagine they're Jews in 1936 Berlin. /1

Only tangential here I think, but the sportsbetting industry is stealing this from us (in addition to creating addiction). Sports works as a social lubricant because the real stakes are trivial & the imagined stakes are high. It’s a big game of pretend. Adding $ stakes to it ruins its social role

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. 

Text: “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”
