Plainclothes, masked rogue agents roaming our streets and refusing to identify themselves made this inevitable. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything. They are the party of lawlessness, violence, and abuse.

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover."

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

Insane stories. Just gets worse and worse. If you support this stuff, you’re a fascist. Shame on you. And abolish ICE.
ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify family. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

It took Hitler 3 months to remake the opposition into a terrorist threat so they could use the power of the state to crush all opposition. It’s taking Trump longer, but here it comes👇

The shameless GOP lying about next Saturday’s No Kings gatherings reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

DHS is already under court order to stop the targeting of journalists and use of pepper balls/tear gas. Not clear if this represents a violation of that order but Brockman clearly identifies herself as a journalist and appears not to posing any threat to say the least.

Must-read piece in the @Guardian (h/t @dpcarrington). In #ScienceUnderSiege, we describe how petrostates Saudi Arabia & Russia leveraged Musk's buyout of twitter so they could weaponize it for climate denial propaganda & attacks on renewables. https://t.co/0WlDICJgvc

The long read: Saudi Arabia’s investment in Twitter increased its influence in Silicon Valley while being used at home to shut down critics of the regime
