[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

president trump gradually normalizing use of the national guard in liberal cities.

had he done this in his first term, people would be outraged and take to the streets. now not so much.

paves the way for using the national guard at a more strategically important time. say, during elections.

[Dan Carlin @dccommonsense]

Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.

ICE slam head of local nurse into ground during arrest—she's a U.S. citizen & community volunteer.

Agents charged at her so she dropped a poster——they claim she "attacked" them with that poster.

She is well known—and targeted in advance for false arrest—according to fellow volunteers of the Community Self Defense Coalition.

Amanda Trebach had already reported an earlier attack on August 4—when Border Patrol agents boxed her car in after she documented their caravan arriving.

She was arrested outside the Terminal Island staging area for ICE at the Port of Los Angeles in California. #DemsUnited

@YIMBYLAND Phrasing of this is like pic related but with buildings

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

We all laugh and roll our eyes and yet I am trying to think what the reaction -especially from rightwing media - would have been in 2013 if Obama had showed a foreign dictator around the White House while chuckling and revealing 2016 *third term* merch to him hidden in a closet.

200 days into Trump's term, where are we?

In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is fatally undermined by the capitulation of elites.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are - and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, and harmful to our national security.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

For 15-18 years they were willing to DIE for this country and this is how Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth treat them.

Disgusting.

To be clear, what Vance is describing here is a Putin-style system of state capitalism. Oligarchs have to align themselves with Kremlin priorities to maintain their wealth and influence. If they challenge the state, they face bogus investigations and pressure to force them out.

[Barry R McCaffrey @mccaffreyr3]

Horrific. Trump a lawless actor. Rule by decree. Congress supine. Federal law enforcement being transformed from American values. Great danger ahead.

@BlazeBinges Is Phil Lamarr basically talking to himself here..

ICE handcuff & detain U.S. citizen for 2 hours—even after he proved born in Texas.

Agents said he "looked like" someone they were looking for—told him to "shave your beard" to avoid future arrest.

"I felt kidnapped," he said. "They just put me in handcuffs and took me to another location."

Miguel Angel Ponce Jr. is a 33-year-old U.S. citizen born in College Station, Texas.

CBS becomes the first major US broadcaster to be controlled by the US government. Putinisation continues apace.

This is the only way to talk to Republicans from now until 2029.

[Barry R McCaffrey @mccaffreyr3]

This is terribly wrong. Incredible. Lawless. Trump sees no boundaries to his violent behavior. Our America is in great danger.
