The politics in Hungary may have changed, but the politics in the US are the same. Todd Blanche is telling us we should be happy that Trump is directing DOJ to go after his political opponents.
We cannot give up but we must fight for democracy every single day. And if we do we can win!
When are the prosecutions of the named rapist going to begin then???
Meanwhile Vance is in Hungary helping Putin agent to be reelected.
And we are wrapped up with them.
That is huge!
CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕
(From @andertoon.bsky.social )
Here’s the part that keeps nagging at me, the thing I think had confused me for years: the policies were never meant to work. Not in the way people who care about government and their neighbors want things to “work.” Family separation was brutal yet inefficient. Slashing refugee admissions did nothing to truly change how America looks. “Invasion” rhetoric produced chaos, not control. I kept reading these failures as failures — as evidence that the people in charge were incompetent, or cruel for cruelty’s sake. But once you run it through Brimelow’s lens, the confusion disappears. These policies weren’t meant to solve problems. They were meant to stage conflict. The drama was the point. Every spectacle — the crime stories, the Confederate statues, the racist porn of the horrible French novel Camp of the Saints— was designed to do the same thing: spike identity. Remind white voters who they were, what they were losing, and who was to blame. Immigration policy became a storytelling machine. Miller’s fixation on symbolic battles makes total sense once you see it this way. It always made sense. I just wasn’t looking at it right. Our failure to stop Miller in 2019 — when his fanaticism was plainly exposed, when Hayden’s reporting laid it all out — reveals something uncomfortable about how ideas move from fringe to center. Miller didn’t need a revolution. He needed a bureaucracy.
One agonizing part of now is knowing that the gutter internet racists are seeing all their sickest dreams come true through Stephen Miller.

Agree
What about Renee Good’s case?
This isn’t economics, it’s a goddamn protection racket. Inflate prices, freeze out new buyers, and call it “fairness” because someone “worked hard.” Funny how “hard work” always seems to start with inherited money and end with screwing everyone else. 💸🤡
Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.
I don’t think I have tried that although I have heard of it.
If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

Is there any way to force or shame them to open a case here? Aren’t all shootings by officials of the government investigated?
he lookED like she broke his brain when she ripped into him. IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Is there any obligation to investigate all deaths by the hands of “law enforcement”? Or can some shootings just go uninvestigated forever?
Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.
We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.
I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
We still have a long way to go. But never relinquish the dream.
2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.
US will be weaker but at this point that may be needed for our citizens to wake up to the clear and present danger we are in.
Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
🔥 @timmiller.bsky.social: “You’re telling me he was scared for his life? Are you sh*tting me?? The car is barely moving. He orphaned her child, then called her a ‘f*cking bitch’… it’s not a tough call. This was murder.”

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.”
(Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)
The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
We have had a brain drain and it is going to continue. Our days of innovative supremacy are over because this cannot be reversed in just years. It will take decades under the best of conditions. And I don’t know if we will have the best of conditions.
