"Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged."

~ Michael Tomasky

"Our video probes how, while previous shutdowns were a byproduct of political gridlock, Trump has seized on the shutdown as an instrument for reengineering the state in Project 2025’s image."

"The Trump administration is using the shutdown to ramp up its commitment to the Project 2025 blueprint for government. Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump White House, is one of Project 2025’s architects and tasked with deciding which agencies starve and which are permanently dismantled."

"The official said Miller is Trump’s chief adviser on the issue and is receiving regular updates from the joint terrorism task force – a coalition of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies tasked with investigating terrorism."

"In Stephen Miller, we see that Maga will not simply end with Trump. We must keep our eyes on him, contest everything he does and says. Because – while this may be hard to fathom – if the US ends up with Miller as its dictator, we are in even deeper trouble than we are with Trump, and it could last a lot longer."

"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."

"If you turned on the television or checked the front pages of most national outlets, you likely saw very little. There has been a disturbing silence in much of the mainstream press about what is unfolding in Chicago."

Greg Olear reports that he became aware of the horrifying events happening in Chicago on Oct. 2 from an email sent to him the next morning. But:

"When I ran a Google search, I found that no one else seemed to have picked up the story. The big legacy-media outlets were yammering about God knows what, none of it remotely as important as this illegal operation."

"Make no mistake: The ICE Gestapo raid was nothing less than an act of state-sanctioned terror—a loud-and-clear announcement that democracy, as we knew it, was officially over.

And still—still—I didn’t want to believe it.

But it really happened."

"Because who is going to stop him. Even if the Supreme Court does do the right thing in this instance, what’s the enforcement mechanism? Which is another problem we’ve faced continually in the last 10 months, because the Trump regime will say, 'You want to stop us? You and what Army? Because the Army belongs to us.”'

"Reporters on the ground are documenting raids that resemble military operations, and yet many large media companies are ignoring the story entirely or burying it under lighter news.

There appears to be an unofficial blackout around the ICE raids, as if acknowledging them too directly would be politically inconvenient or too disturbing for audiences.

That is not journalism. That is complicity."

"This is not fear-mongering. This is not speculation about what the Trump regime might do. This is happening. This has already happened. Here, in America. Nine months into the Trump Redux, and right on schedule, the fascist baby has been born."

"By invoking the Insurrection Act, he’s just ratcheted things up to such a degree that we don’t know where this is going to end. What we do know is that the chaos that is deliberately and intentionally being created in American cities, specifically blue American cities, is going to get worse and he will be more empowered."
