"It's an uncivil war" and "Sarah" allude to what turns out to be the big problem: the "Second Amendment" has been mostly repealed. We need fully functioning militias that are capable of checking federal over-reach, but almost all of the arms necessary for them to do that are illegal for civilian possession.
As usual the regime is attacking on multiple fronts in their efforts to wrest control of the narrative and overwhelm us. Trump runs on vengeance and he will never give up. Trump is still claiming he won in 2020. One of the reasons he went after Maduro is to bolster this claim. Don't be surprised when Maduro admits to election tampering in Venezuela in exchange for charges dropped.
Qasim - I don't think it's deflection anymore. I look at it as the whole of fascism - we can't not zoom in on what he's doing to lead us to WWIII and Civil War 2026. He and his entire team from Miller to Rubio to Bessent must be locked up. And if it's next to Hillary and Bill, that would be ironically fine by me.
I’ve been wondering-Why are SO many ICE agents wrongfully detaining people, and detaining people without warrants? (Right there, one explains the other.) Do they think they are doing a righteous job properly? What if they too, have been lied to so much by superiors they believe they are doing everything right, chasing down vile illegal criminals? Ok, with 5 year old Liam,, that’s a stretch. BUT, perhaps, is it possible a bit of the clash in expectations and behavior between agents and protestors, is because agents are unknowingly getting flawed information on assigned targets? Without personally checking immigration status or citizenship, without getting a warrant, (I imagine the latter requires the former) do they think they are chasing criminals of illegal status? When Noem lies and says ”We only go after the worst of the worst” are they trying to convince ICE agents, as much as the public? (By the way, pretty sure everything Noem says is scripted by Miller.) Afraid that, impeaching HER won’t get rid of the monster’s head.
Has Stephen Miller at the top of the deportation monster, above all other directors, DHS and ICE, and BORDER PATROL, made it impossible for agents to get the necessary warrants to avoid all these mistakes? Mistakenly detaining, and misidentifying people? After all, as he is trying to do with Don Lemon, Miller threatens to ruin people, their livelihoods, take all their money, their jobs, their reputations, their freedom, their lives…Miller is trying to eliminate from the face of the earth everyone who doesn’t look like him, and same for everyone who ”interferes and obstructs” with any of his agendas. Every case is a test case to see how far he can push the limits of his power without getting checked. Or fired. Please. Regarding Don Lemon: If the incident or situation is related to ”immigration” Miller is holding the marionette strings and directing the show. If #47 could see Miller as a liability and fire him, maybe this human catastrophe could be exposed and dismantled before anyone else dies.
I am very fearful of the midterms being manipulated, both being able to vote and to have an accurate count. Somehow, we have to have observers, especially in the battleground states. Funny how I want to think of the DOJ as the protector instead of the enemy. But the one constant fact is that Bondi lies as she tries to protect Trump. It’s now the TOJ: Trump Office of Justice.
Last week I wrote directly to my state's Governor about the elections. The writing seems to be on the Wall about the results. Trump will definitely want to sabotage them--no question.
Overwhelmed! Each day brings new stories of our rapid descent into living in a dictatorship and yet the political "class" including the legacy media talks as though this is business as usual. It's simply beyond my understanding. I feel like we are sinking because "we" are trying to bail out a boat with a huge hole in it.Thank goodness for all those working tirelessly to "right" the ship; the people in the streets, the lawyers and judges and journalists who keep us informed of what's really taking place.
This is what consolidation looks like in real time. You squeeze elections, you squeeze journalists, and you call it stability. Arresting reporters while hiding state violence isn’t law and order — it’s fear management. Silence doesn’t protect anyone. It just makes the next step easier.
This is unbelievably bad. I’m from Minneapolis, and we are tough, BUT they are now using surveillance tools to identify protesters, as well as people who are delivering food to targeted groups. And I believe they will target the protesters in the future with the goal of prosecuting participants. Demanding the voter rolls in exchange for drawing down the presence of Trump’s private gang of thugs is another nail in the coffin of freedom. That information will be combined with all the other databases that have been harvested by DOGE. We are feeling overwhelmed, out-numbered, fearful and so damn angry. This is all about rigging and controlling the election so they never lose power.
That must be terrifying, but the reason for it is not as scary as it seems. (What really pisses me off as I try to reply is that so much of this is ONE GUY at the top of the whole deportation monster. Stephen Miller is directing the whole ICE machine. He likes to terrify people.) Miller’s grip on power and grip on his own job, got rocked this week. Precisely it was BECAUSE of the momentum of the organized peaceful, neighborly movement in Minneapolis. Miller’s job in Washington was and is threatened by your/all of our protesting/organizing/helping neighbors. Renee’s murder backfired on him. His expectation was, people would ”learn their lesson” and stay home. Isn’t that what ICE agents were saying to people? Now, If I was a betting woman, I’d bet Miller told them to say that very horrible thing. But it didn’t work. So NOW they have announced loudly that they are surveilling and monitoring all the pesky people protesting, they’re gonna monitor people being nice to their neighbors and-gasp-monitor and observe people bringing their neighbors FOOD? ? My goodness, what hellions and hoodlums you are in Minneapolis. Here’s the thing. I live in New York State, and the news of Minneapolis fighting back and winning against the regime is getting huge press here and abroad, all over the world. The regime is more afraid of Minneapolis, than Minneapolis is of them. They’re worried about that. They want y’all to stay home and be quiet. Good luck. And today in our town, the first family got taken away by ICE. Eventually they will leave Minneapolis, and go bother someone else. I’m sorry this is happening for you guys.
I appreciate your trying to balance my perspective, and the irony in your comments. And I hope you are right. But I have become quite cynical of this administration and their band of thugs. Respectfully speaking, having them leave Minnesota and go bother someone else is not the point. I hope, for the sake of your community, that your experience with ICE is different than what has happened here. Be Minnesota tough; Minnesota peaceful. ✊
This is a great article,Qasim. I feel there is so little time left to go full-court-press before we can't say or do anything without being arrested. Or shot.
And relating to your previous articles about the media: all along NPR has added to every Epstein story "President Trump has not been implicated in any wrongdoing." With the latest document release, will they STILL cling to that lie? He has been "implicated" all along by several directors witnesses--the girls themselves!! I will never ever ever trust any mainstream media again.

Absolutely horrendous, they're all tyrants.

We need to see all blue governors, standing together, like the premieres in Canada. Right fucking now.
We also need strategies for folks who have blue senators but a red governor. Blue pockets abound in “red” states.
Wonder how Alito, Thomas and Roberts will spin waiving along THIS latest unconstitutional Trump depravity.
Trump has made it crystal clear that America has a dedicated and relentless enemy who wants to destroy it. His name is Trump.
