"When George Floyd was murdered, people got involved: street protests, starting organizations, neighborhood watches. I was somebody who stayed up on my porch. There was a Black church across the street from me, and I just stayed up part of the night, until my shift ended and my roommate took over, to make sure that it didn’t get burned down."

"In the wake of poet and writer Renee Good’s killing, Donald Trump and his collaborators have done all they can to define her as an enemy of 'The Homeland.' The administration claims, for instance, that Good was a 'domestic terrorist,' a term it is now applying to Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse whom federal agents killed on Saturday."

"As the American people continue to express their fury over the violence of federal agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere, officials from the Trump administration today tried to shift the public narrative to shore up their softening base and silence their opponents."

"The administration is appealing to the MAGA racist and Christian nationalist base by demonstrating that it is willing to violate the Constitution to impose MAGA’s ideology on the nation. But it is also apparently trying to signal to white American citizens that they should think they are safe from an authoritarian administration: its top victims remain Black Americans and people of color."

"The logic of the killings is as important as the killings themselves. While a truth in itself, the moral horror is also a sign of the administration’s lies and lawlessness, a political logic known from 20th-century Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes and from attempts to replace the rule of law with personal tyranny."

#DOJ has opened a #federal #CivilRights probe into the death of #AlexPretti

[but not #ReneeGood. Neither should have been killed, but I’ll say it again, Pretti was a straight man, Good a gay woman. Both shootings were recorded on video by multiple witnesses showing neither was at fault. Yet the #homophobic #misogynistic #Trump admin is only willing to look into the straight man’s #murder.]

But "normal" Republicans see that this cruelty and fury are not playing well with the non-MAGA majority, and are increasingly frightened about GOP prospects.

Rubin says,

"You have now, I think, a phenomenon that is frightful for the GOP.

They have always thought they control the culture wars, but in fact, they control it in a very narrow stratum of their own base."

"The logic of MAGA, especially as it is being aided along by its media ecosystem and by leading figures like Stephen Miller and JD Vance, is racial authoritarianism. It is white supremacy. But the murders of Pretti and Good should be a stark warning that whiteness ceases to offer protection as soon as a person opposes this regime and its program of racial terror."

"Respectable white people are now keenly aware that the logical conclusion of a decades' worth of anti-immigrant hatred includes murdering white people and they don't like it. They are shocked to discover that authoritarianism did not stop at the color line."

"Those in the media who choose to treat propaganda as the story, who begin from lies rather than from events, are also complicit. The border is the crack, the lies are the wedge, and the people who accept those lies are opening it wider."

See also T. Snyder's discussion of these issues in the video linked below.

"It is the crack that can be opened. The wedge is constructed with lies, which begin as cliches and memes that the government pounds into our heads, and which the media repeat, mindlessly or with malice.

One of these cliches is 'law enforcement,' which is uttered over and over like an incantation."

"The aspiring tyrant looks for cracks in the system that can be pried open.
One of these cracks is the border, where the country ends. Because the law ends there, too, an obvious move for the tyrant is to turn the whole country into a border, where no rules apply. ...

The border becomes the pretext to undo the law everywhere, at all times, and against anyone."
