The plaintiffs’ lawyers wrote in a court filing late Wednesday that “officers appear to be using #violence, #TearGas, & other #munitions against #protesters & journalists. Young #children & even #babies appear to have been subjected to the indiscriminate use of tear gas” by federal officers.

"IS THERE A PLACE in the Republican operative class for people who 'love Hitler'? How about those who like making jokes about black people eating watermelon?

That’s the debate consuming the MAGA movement this week…."

"The Vice President of the United States just told America that professional political operatives saying 'I love Hitler' is what kids do. ...

Then Judge Ellis insisted that Russell Hott, director of ICE’s #Chicago field office, appear in her courtroom Monday to clarify what’s going on.

“The field director is going to explain to me why I am seeing images of #TearGas being deployed & reading reports that there were no warnings given before it was deployed,” Ellis said.

That same judge took the bench early Thursday at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, where she told one of Trump’s lawyers, bluntly, “I’m not blind.”

US District Judge Sara Ellis cited reports in the #Chicago Sun-Times & other media that have given her “serious concerns” about whether the #Trump admin has followed her #CourtOrder in recent days.

“I’m getting images and seeing images on the news, in the paper, reading reports where I’m having concerns about my order being followed,” the judge said.

Sean Skedzielewski, an attorney representing the government, [lying] laid blame with “one-sided & selectively edited media reports.”

Simultaneously,

1. The Supremes appear poised to give the coup de grace to voting rights for minorities.

2. The Trump administration appears to be prepared to use the military in a show of force to disrupt lawful protests in California.

3. Filthy messages shared by Young Republicans show the depths of racism, misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism, and pro-Nazi sentiments in that group.

4. The Pentagon shuts journalists out of its operations.

Fascism on steroids….

"THIS AUTHORITARIANISM GOES TO 11: [William Kristol] wrote yesterday that the Trump authoritarian project is 'getting worse.' What he didn’t necessarily predict was how fast it would accelerate in the subsequent 24 hours. Yesterday brought an avalanche of headlines, any one of which would have been a major news event in 'normal' times. But this is Trump land, where the shit comes in quick succession."

"The guys yukking it up in the most revolting terms in the Young Republicans chat weren’t 'young boys'—they were early-ish career Republican political professionals. Peter Giunta, one of the chat’s worst offenders, is 31. He was recently a candidate for national chair of the organization, which pulls in about a million dollars in donations a year."

"And they’re willing to use the full force of government to punish their opponents and create maximal permissiveness for themselves. ...

It is hard to overstate how much Trump and the MAGA movement have coarsened American discourse, gutted American morality, and generally turned our country into an uglier, less decent place."

"There are two issues here. One is that the MAGA right has a legitimate Nazi problem. The second is that the MAGA right believes there are two standards: The ultra-permissive one that applies to them and their followers within which there are zero consequences for even the worst behavior, and the far stricter one that applies to liberals or any other perceived political opponents."

"I can’t find the age of Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans, but he was recently touted by his organization as 'a veteran GOP strategist from Albany.' Samuel Douglass, a Vermont state senator, joined in a conversation in which Walker mocked a friend who 'dated this very obese Indian woman for a period of time;' Douglass added, 'she just didn’t bathe very often.'”

“The Rainbow Crosswalk”

Terrazzo pavers, Art Deco pattern

in #SouthBeach, #Miami, a historic #gay community

and last week: it's gone

why?

#Florida doesn't want 'ideological messages'

🤦

Now, I don't want you to get sad

They want to break your spirit. So don't do that

I want you to get angry. I want you to act. *You*

Don't demand someone else fix it. Don't whine and give up. Cynicism is acceptance

"As Trump grows increasingly incoherent and emotionally labile, Miller grows more and more influential. He is the president’s brain, his discipline. Where Trump has no guiding principles, Miller is a resolute ideologue of white, western supremacy and a tactician of final solutions. Trump is easily lampooned, but Miller is the grimmest of reapers."

Since antifa is not a thing (as someone said, it's an idea), and because the fascists are trying to create it as one (like Vance inventing stories about people eating dogs), I am going to use #antfascists and refuse the moniker that is being weaponized. If someone is against antifa, the consequences of that position are semantically less obvious, less visible. If someone is against antifascists, they are fascist. Full stop.

Depriving people not just of the means to actively resist, but even criminalizing passive self-protection that doesn't inhibit the police's ability to arrest or remove protestors passively
