the people responding to this defensively are nuts. i’m talking about a critical mass of democrats to make it clear that they’ll put themselves on the line to protect congresswoman omar. im glad there have been some strongly worded statements but there needs to be action.

Abolish ICE originally came from activists who opposed deportation, full stop. This is not that. But it looks like an excellent starting point. Eliminating DHS and everything under it would be an unqualified good.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

We can’t be silent in the face of fascism. The raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar weeks before an election is naked an attempt to interfere with it. Trump has weaponized the DOJ to target his political opponents, manufacturing charges that have been dismissed by court after court. I stand with Ilhan.

"He's not evil, he's stupid" is not a solid defense, especially as he's already claimed that he did it because he's 82 & needed the paycheck. When claiming poverty doesn't work, having your kid claim ignorance only makes things look worse.

Does Trejo lack any sort of agency in this? Is he physically handcuffed to Shapiro, unable to just walk away? Is Danny fucking Trejo not rich enough to just pay the breach of contract fine and walk away? I'll buy he was tricked. Shapiro has a history of that. But I don't buy that he's powerless.

The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.

The Republican Party is chock full of Nazis. The government has Nazis in senior administration positions. The Republican Party’s largest donor is a neo-Nazi. David Brooks might not want to admit it, but that’s why it’s long past time for him to shut up.

Several scholars of authoritarianism and even the Third Reich have, for years, pointed to the similarities between Trump's GOP and the NSDSP and fascism generally. So unless Brooks knows more about that than us, I'd suggest he be quiet and listen to the actual experts.

Here's a collection of reporting from Trump's execution spree. I would also emphasize that this DID NOT begin with Trump and if you really want to know who to blame for largely paving the way for so much of the expansion of the "modern" death penalty, it is the Democrats. (End rant.)

I, too, feel revulsion over recent events. But part of me also feels anger that so few people even seem aware of the fact that Trump carried out 13 executions in the last 6 months of his first term. I was in Terre Haute, IN for all of them. And for much of that time, they felt utterly invisible.

It's been almost a decade since I wrote this piece about Arkansas but I often think about that execution spree because of what it showed me up close about the death penalty, prisons, and torture in this country.
