"Over the weekend, the Trump administration’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Oregon blew up into a constitutional clash as serious as any we’ve seen so far this year (including, ironically, the clash over Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation)."

"Violence and stochastic terror remain the weapons of choice for MAGA. For the past 10 years, Trump’s supporters have engaged in threats and assaults against the media, judges, law enforcement, teachers, poll workers, and Democrats."

"ICE is actively turning Chicago into a war zone-like atmosphere, as over the past several days, and especially over the past 24 hours, we're now learning that ICE is using military gear, military tactics, and even chemical agents against American citizens and non-citizens alike."

"We didn’t expect America to become a country where masked secret policemen smash down your door in the middle of the night and take you away. Yet that’s where we are.

And don’t expect the attacks to be limited to immigrants."

Trump's niece Mary is asked "if things went south for Donald, do you think that he would issue an executive 'Nero Decree' (scorched earth) order like Hitler did when his defeat was imminent?"

Her reply:

"Yeah, honestly, I’ve [been] saying that publicly since 2020. And I think the way I typically put it is this: If Donald thinks he’s going down, he will take all of us down with him if he can. It’s that simple."

"Judges have warned that with each new military deployment on U.S. soil, we inch closer to martial law, even as the White House brands its own Trump-appointed judges as 'insurrectionists.'

This is not normal. It cannot be normalized."

"He’s also bombing vessels in international waters — killing people whom he claims, without evidence, are smuggling drugs into the United States.

Meanwhile, much of the federal government is shuttered. Republicans in Congress are AWOL. Democrats in Congress are trying to use their limited leverage to get health insurance back for some 20 million Americans.

We’re in trouble, friends."

"He’s also defying a federal court. He’s ordering federal troops to forcefully occupy an American city whose mayor and governor don’t want him to. He’s already causing people — some of whom are American citizens — to be arrested and detained without due process."

"This is fascism. Not as historical analogy. Not as rhetorical flourish. As present reality.

Miller is declaring that the President’s will supersedes constitutional constraints. That judicial enforcement of statutory limits is rebellion. That checks and balances are acts of war against the Republic itself.

"This is where we are. Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies."

"The 'enemy from within' is Donald Trump. The 'violent extremists' are Trump lackeys who have turned ICE into fascistic shock troops. This is not business as usual, or “Trump being Trump.”

"The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at. ...

The terrorism is coming from inside the government."

"What do we learn from the Chicago apartment raid plus the growing number of incidents in which ICE agents have physically attacked people who posed no conceivable threat? To me, it says that even 'alarmists' who warned about the threat a Trump administration would pose to democracy underestimated just how evil this administration would be."

"Shockingly, the Miami Herald found that approximately two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held at Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida Everglades immigration detention center in July, were missing from ICE’s online database in August. Neither their attorneys nor their families know where they are. The United States government is now disappearing people."

"Even back in 2016, i wrote that Americans would very soon discover that so many things that they believed were carved in stone. it's actually based on traditions. It''s not codified ...

Donald Trump, … he's a genius of normalizing things that we thought would never happen in this country."
