Everything about the raid on Rep. Omar’s residence is shameful. Everyone involved should lose their jobs. For a start.

I think I missed something - it sounds like they are trying to divorce these actions from Trump by saying this was a plan in 2019 - but I'm pretty sure Trump was president then.

For a decade, Trump has targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar with grotesque, racist rhetoric that has fueled threats against her. This federal raid on her home is a dangerous escalation. Rep. Omar has done nothing to warrant this kind of intimidation.

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

There’s a process called lustration that has been used as a part of transitional justice after the fall of dictators in other nations. Ive had a few conversations with international scholars who study it. We’re going to need it here.

Yep, no question. Let's recall that those arguing that 2024 heralded a multiracial working class realignment were expressly using that to argue that Dems had become too liberal on cultural issues and immigration. There will never be any reckoning for any of it.

By repeating this lawless and racist lie, Rep. Valadao proves himself either irreparably ignorant, maliciously dishonest, or both. Terrorized communities are being slandered and called criminals by their own congressional representative, who is too much of a coward to defend his own constituents.

A recent 🧵by @elisewang.bsky.social explains the difficulty of finding executioners in medieval Europe. It’s an excellent 🧵. I find a similar thing in my research: even those tasked with executing people didn't want to stick around to watch them die. They left if they could. bsky.app/profile/elis...

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Documents released by a watchdog group suggest that despite Trump's promise to fund Freedom 250 events through private donations, taxpayers largely footed the bill. The budget estimates leave open questions about where tens of millions in private donations ended up.

And, there’s this whole other component of the problem: there is literally NO reception infrastructure here in Cap Haitien. Unless there are relatives to pick people up. Just taken from airport, to police station, and dropped on the street. In their ICE sweatpants and no shoe laces.

Fascism is grounded in creating in and out groups in which rights and protections and spoils and even life itself is the property of the former while the latter can be degraded and abused and murdered without consequence at any moment. This execution is a milestone along the road to that.
