How Mass Deportations Would ‘Devastate’ Texas
The Lone Star State is home to millions of undocumented residents and members of mixed-status families critical to the state’s economic success, yet Texas leaders are cheering on Trump anyway.Francesca D’Annunzio (The Texas Observer)
“The last time the United States launched a mass deportation effort … U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent were rounded up and sent to Mexico—a place that many had never been before. The mass deportations that #Trump is proposing would be devastating for our economy and dangerous for American Latinos.”

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET:
Now #Trump is seeking to extend filing deadlines that were previously court-ordered, incl asking if he can file his reply and sur-reply to Special Counsel #JackSmith’s immunity determinations motion as late as December.
Trump’s counsel argues that they were adversely impacted by Hurricane Milton and need more time.
Bluff called, Trump:
“#Harris, responding to #Trump's claims about her IQ, said she would take a cognitive test — and "would challenge him to take the same one."
"This is what he has resorted to, and I think he actually is increasingly unstable and unhinged and has resorted to name calling because he actually has no plan for the American people," Harris said in an interview with "CBS Evening News”

Field of Vision - A Night at the Garden
In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism -- an event largely forgotten from U.S. history. A NIGHT…Vimeo

The last time there was an "America First" rally at Madison Square Garden, in 1939:Substack
"Before Mr. Trump had even taken the stage, warm-up speakers had called Puerto Rico an 'island of garbage,' referred to Ms. Harris as 'the devil' and 'the Antichrist,' and made racist or derogatory remarks about Latinos generally, African Americans, Palestinians and Jews."
~ Erica L. Green
"With just over a week before Election Day, speakers labeled Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage,' called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris 'the devil,' and said the woman vying to become the first woman and Black woman president had begun her career as a prostitute."

"Donald Trump hosted a rally featuring crude and racist insults at New York's Madison Square Garden Sunday, turning what his campaign had dubbed as the event where he would deliver his closing message into an illustration of what turns off his critics."

"I've seen privileged people of awareness cheer themselves that if Trump and his Republican Nazis win, then at least the people in the red states, who did not vote as we did, will feel the most harm first—ignoring that the harm in these places will come first to those who were already most threatened, the same people whose lives we have, from our yard signs and bumper stickers, claimed matter."

"It is the staging and the theatrics that he most cares about: the form rather than the content. He knows that everyone watching and attending knows that he is re-enacting a Nazi show."
"Having a rally at Madison Square Garden, in the Nazi tradition, is a sure way for Trump to drive media attention to himself at a time when he is low on energy, incoherent, and falling asleep at his own events —and thus more desperate and dangerous than ever."

"It’s wild to me that Trump’s fascism is only now breaking through as a major news story. Trump’s ideology has been evident from the start, and in every election cycle, his closing argument always comes down to white supremacy, fascism, hate, and white male grievance.

"Elon posted his MAGA hat which uses the Fraktur font, popular in nazi Germany. He wore this at a rally meant to evoke the 1939 nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
He's telling you who he is." @esqueer
I wondered where I've seen that font before! Then I remembered, it was on the book #Hitler wrote in prison, #MeinKampf
BTW, Steve Bannon couldn't attend the rally, he was still in prison working on his own book. My Struggle.
