"While this is a complete abdication of the DOJ’s role, the confidence level was already extremely low in any federal investigation controlled directly by the Trump White House. …
The WaPo updated its story later yesterday with this additional nugget, suggesting that instead of using its powers under civil rights law to investigate ICE, it turned them on Good instead."
David Neiwert notes that "projection has long been a dominant feature of the Republican mindset—indeed, it’s a core political weapon that they wield constantly in order to control public discourse in the mass media."

"Fast forward five years."

"The strategy in Minnesota, California, Oregon, and elsewhere has less to do this time around with Trump’s desperation to maintain a grip on power and has far more to do with the manifestation of authoritarian aggression that has been inevitable since the day he won re-election."

"As with everything in the MAGA Upside Down, this means the ordinary citizens standing up to neofascist masked Proud Boy thugs wearing federal uniforms and invading our neighborhoods get labeled 'insurrectionists,' and the seditionists wielding guns to topple our democracy get called 'patriots.'”
