The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Gavin Newsom: “People are scared to death of this guy. It’s the appaling silence, it’s the complicity. It makes me sick. Is it worth it to you? To watch this 249 years just vanish in real time? We’re losing our moral authority by the hour as he continues to exercise his formal authority by the minute”
This speech should terrify anyone who cares about our country.
Declaring war on our nation’s cities and using our troops as political pawns is what dictators do.
This man cares about nothing but his own ego and power.
They didn't send ICE after a single street gang.
They didn't send soldiers to recover missing children.
They didn't arrest or deport a single person on the Epstein list.
They went after the law-abiding housekeepers, gardeners, cooks, teachers, single mom's +car wash workers.
No snark. The entire nation should be having an emergency conversation about the President of the goddam United States of America being a deranged clear and present danger.
The President of the United States is deploying the military onto US streets and using our troops like political pawns.
DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME NUMB TO THIS.
This clearly affected Tim Miller which makes this clip so profound and at the same time so deeply disturbing.
This administration is using the power of the state to disappear people and send them to a living hell hole. With no access to due process.

If this happened in any other country, we would know what to call it: The autocrat taking revenge on a man who angers him. A man who dares to criticize him.
The most important thing in American life right now is to see the thing in front of your face, and name it.
WOW. @marceelias goes off on the failure of legacy media to reflect the urgency of this moment: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."
