On top of the harms ICE is inflicting on particular immigrants, Americans, and visitors to Chicago, ICE activity is destabilizing the city to create a pretext for Trump to send in troops. 2/
This is straight-up, textbook fascist destruction of constitutional democracy. 3/
I spent this morning operationalizing a Speakers’ Corner in #SantaFe #NewMexico (we’ll be doing the same next Saturday, https://indivisiblesantafe.org/a-speakers-corner/). I used some of my time to address how essential it is for every one of us to use every means at our disposal to say that what Trump is doing in #Chicago is unacceptable despotism. 4/
A U.S. President putting U.S. troops into U.S. cities because he doesn’t like the politics of those cities or the states they are in is not only illegal and unconstitutional- it is anti-constitutional, the conduct of a dictator, not a legitimate President of the United States. 5/
This pod is brilliant.
30mins but please watch.
The last 5mins tie it all together

@heidilifeldman so why the fuck is he still president?
@heidilifeldman Trump has 34 felony convictions and has never spent a day in jail. We need judges and courts that will hold him accountable. Whatever their rationale was for letting him skip the punishment, those decisions must be reversed because they are overruled by patriotic duty. SCOTUS has demonstrated they are not a fair arbiters of the Constitution, a role they seized.
Yes in all accounts.
But spare a thought for the rest of us having this seep into our politics through constant SocMed.
We didn't vote for the fucker but he's screwing the world trade and politics over.
We are sick of what Trump is doing.
@heidilifeldman
I thought that the supreme court ruled that anything the president does while in office is legal 🛸
