It isn’t a coincidence that Hegseth has greenlit the murder of an “Islamist” while the US loses a war with Iran and the Right continues to fear a leftist/Muslim takeover. The execution is a cult ritual in which the subject is transformed from an individual to a larger concept.

Trump and Xi's Empty Summit Is Straight Out of the 1930s
If the volume and glitter of the pageantry were a good indicator, the relationship between the United States and China would seem to be in great shape. Alas, summitry without substance can also be a harbinger of great danger, as the history of the 1930s teaches.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

SCOOP: The unexpected airspace closure in El Paso stemmed from
disagreements over drone-related tests, sources told @CBSNews.
Pentagon had undertaken extensive planning on use of military tech
near Fort Bliss. Two sources identified the technology as a high-energy
laser.
Earlier this week, tech was used to shoot down what appeared to be
foreign drones. The flying material turned out to be a party balloon,
sources said. One balloon was shot down.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford last night decided to close the
airspace - without alerting White House, Pentagon or Homeland
Security officials.
Bedford told officials the airspace restrictions would be in place to
ensure safety until issues with the War Department could be resolved.

No surprise in today's letter from Crapo. While he expressed dismay about the two white shootings and acknowledges their rights, he still fully supports ICE funding, believes impartial investigations are underway (lol), and state/local govts are encouraging illegal impediments to authority (wtf).
Any loss of life in an emotionally charged situation is a tragedy.  During the protests in Minneapolis, two individuals were shot and killed by federal law officers during separate confrontations in recent weeks.  There are ongoing federal investigations into the deaths of both Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and I support full and impartial investigations into both circumstances.  The families of the deceased, law-abiding citizens exercising their constitutional rights and the trust of the American people deserve a fair process.
 Tom Homan’s deployment to Minnesota is a good move.  States and cities should work with the Administration to arrest and deport these individuals instead of ratcheting up tension between residents and the federal government by encouraging people to illegally impede ICE’s efforts.

Reading Richard Evans "The Coming of the Third Reich" and reflecting on the vitriol directed at Schumer and Jeffries, at Harris in 2024, and many others in the Democratic Party.
The lawyer Raimund Pretzel pondering the Nazi co-ordination asked what happened to the 56% of Germans who voted against the Nazis but capitulated within weeks.His conclusion was primarily fear, but also "the intoxication of unity, the magnetism of the masses." He also thought many joined in a "perverse act of revenge" against their leaders, who they believed had betrayed them by their weakness.
