"Trump’s paranoia at losing his power will not lead to a sudden rash of moderation. It will not lead to less violence. It will not lead to a lowering of tensions." ...
Trump wants to remake America to be his personal Jonestown, an isolated compound separate from any external accountability or internal dissent—a giant island only existing to serve himself."

"The most dangerous moment for any abusive relationship, whether one-on-one, or one-to-millions, comes when the victims want to leave. It’s why all cult leaders try to isolate their victims from external information and contact. Everything that’s not about the leader is a threat."

When the Mirror Cracks: The Most Dangerous Moment
Like his historical predecessors, Donald Trump has entered a death spiral. The more he loses power, the more he demands it.Jim Stewartson (MindWar: The Psychological War on Democracy)
"At this point, the predominant emotion so many of us are feeling is anger. Anger that people are being treated like this. Anger that our government is doing it. Anger that it’s doing it with our tax dollars."

"Trump sicced his droogs on Minneapolis because he’s a racist who hates Somalis, and his lawless campaign has spread to Maine, of all places, because it’s another state with a Somali population whose voters rejected him in 2024."

'Abolish ICE' is imperative
It's also better politics than you might think.Stephen Robinson (Public Notice)
“Federal agents continue to rain terror on Minneapolis, Minnesota, and other U.S. cities including Portland and Lewiston, Maine. That violence has made it crystal clear that the goal of attacking immigrants is not simply to create a white nation; it is also to terrorize Americans into accepting the domination of MAGA Republicans.”

"Over time, confinement without trial, punishment without conviction, and surveillance without oversight become treated as unfortunate but reasonable."

"Authoritarian systems do not begin with overt tyranny. They begin with a normalization process. Each move is framed as temporary, necessary, or targeted at 'bad people.' Each expansion of power is justified by manufactured crisis. Each erosion of civil rights is sold as a trade-off for safety."

"What this moment reveals is not merely the fragility of white political innocence, but the durability of a system that has survived Reconstruction, Jim Crow, civil rights reform, and the carceral turn by continually redefining violence as order."

What History Reveals About The Hard Truths of This Moment in America
The language people are using right now matters. So does who is shocked by it. This piece sits with that reaction and asks what history tells us when the mask slips and what happens next.400 Years
A whole lot of us are full to the gills with anger now at seeing the cruelty and injustice unfolding in our country, paid for with our tax dollars, as we're lied to and lied to and lied to again.
And as loud self-professed Christians defend all of that.
So don't try to talk to me about that smashed car window and that fit of anger and don't shame yourself by saying it justifies the public execution of an innocent man.
Just don't.

And would not have been murdered if he'd only obeyed authority.
Those SAME PEOPLE must have zero sense of shame if they think they can advance the latter narrative while totally ignoring their absolute silence — but they whooped and cheered — vis-a-vis the first narrative.
The murdered man displayed anger days before he was murdered?

Trampling on law and order and authority.
And now THE SAME PEOPLE who clapped and cheered when all that happened want to convince us that a man who was just executed publicly by federal agents deserved his death because he
Brought a gun (which he never touched) to a protest.
Smashed a car light days before he was murdered.
Had his rib broken by masked thugs who pounced on him when he did that.

I'm thinking today of folks bringing guns and other weapons — knives, hockey sticks, flag poles — to a protest.
Then smashing windows, breaking glass (defecating and urinating on floors and on a desk).
Being warned repeatedly by law officials not to climb through a smashed window, and still climbing through that window and being shot.
Defying law and order and authority.
Ignoring law and order and authority.
