This is amazing. DHS bought a warehouse in a city called Social Circle, Georgia. When the city council asked DHS how they planned to use the warehouse, DHS refused to answer.

So, the city cut off water and sewer services and put a lock on the water meter, and said that services will remain off “until ICE indicates how water and sewer to the facility will be served without exceeding the limited infrastructure capacity.”

Outstanding. We need more of this! This is how we stop fascism.

@QasimRashid 正常人看出权力制衡这一民主原则的现实应用，独裁者、受虐狂们则由此更信奉“权力必须集中”。
Normal people see the practical application of the democratic principle of checks and balances, while dictators and masochists, upon seeing this, are even more convinced that "power must be centralized."

@shqm2 Only when the would be autocrat and his followers are already in power. Otherwise, they'd be opposed to it until they get in power. This is also why the autocrat can't give up power, since once the opposition is in power the tides could turn. This doesn't bode well for 2026 or 2028.

@cj 【1931年1月20日，奥西茨基在《世界舞台》上发表了针对希特勒的政论文章，希望唤醒国民对法西斯的警惕，不要支持纳粹，文章中提到：“一个民族到底要在精神上沦落到何种程度，才能在这个无赖身上看出一个领袖的模子，看到令人追随的人格魅力？”】
相比川普的自大、肤浅，更让我震惊的，是美国那么多选民不管不顾地支持他，这成为他挑战民主体制的底气。
当然，民主党自身也问题多多。
