Steven Cash warns Trump’s proposed January 6 "settlement" resembles the kind of state-funded loyalty network or private militia support system often seen under rising authoritarian regimes overseas.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

1/ “Blasting Iran into oblivion” and “back to the Stone Ages” is an open threat to bomb civilians (a war crime). Trump appears to be making this decision without a congressional declaration, even as he refuses to call this a “war,” though his language here makes clear that’s exactly what it is.

Trump rejects a federal judge’s ruling that congressional approval is required for WH construction. Read the ruling yourself, compare it to the claims, and hold leaders accountable to the Constitution, especially when they suggest they can act outside of it.

If the state takes you into custody, it takes on a duty of care. CBP knew Alam was nearly blind, disabled, and alone in a strange city. They abandoned him at night outside a closed restaurant. He died. The ME says homicide. No agency that does this should call itself a “border protection” force.

Stephen Miller calls MN protests a “national security priority.” At the same time, the adm is pushing to elevate “antifa” into the National Intelligence Priorities Framework, historically reserved for groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda: a reprioritization of intel resources toward domestic dissent.

A war is raging in Europe, and Trump has said basically we won’t defend them. So they have to think about their own defense without the US, all while the US began military action without consulting them and is now demanding they send their already stretched defenses to Iran.
