If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

This is a perfect example of the deranged & maniacal approach to immigration being pursued by the Trump Admin. They conducted a raid on a live fire line in Washington State, taking into custody undocumented people who were engaged in the atrocity of working to contain a life threatening forest fire.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legalrestraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

(8) Among greatest infirmities - legal, moral, policy - is federalizing the Guard to police protest activity when the situation was under control (including with CA Guard if Newsom wanted to use them). In context, this looks not like "escalating to de-escalate," but escalating to escalate further.

Asked to comment on Vought's quote, the White House sent a statement from an unnamed senior administration official: "What about the January 6 defendants and political prisoners who suffered real trauma and committed suicide over the harassment, bullying and imprisonment by bureaucrats who weaponized the government against them?"
