…“This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” #MikeLee wrote Sunday on his personal account on the social platform X.

Shortly after, he commented, “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” referring to #Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz (D), alongside a photo of the suspected shooter.

The 2 remarks were condemned by numerous #Democrats. Senate Minority Whip #DickDurbin (D-IL) called Lee’s remarks “beyond dangerous” & “absolutely unacceptable.”

“I think too often in the #Senate we talk to each other through one another & I wanted him to hear it from me directly,” she said.

#TinaSmith said it was “hard for me to characterize exactly what he said. He didn’t say a lot, frankly,” but added that #MikeLee “seemed a little surprised to be confronted.”

Lee angered #Democrats when he pinned blame on them after #MelissaHortman, a Democrat & fmr Speaker of the #Minnesota House, & her husband were killed over the weekend at their home.

Sen #TinaSmith (D-MN) on Monday confronted Sen #MikeLee (R-Utah) over of series of comments he made blaming #Democrats for the fatal #shooting of a #Minnesota state lawmaker & her spouse.

Shortly after the #Senate began its Monday evening vote, Smith was seen walking into a conference room where #Republicans were about to hold a meeting to discuss the text the Finance Cmte had just unveiled for the party’s massive tax bill.

HuffPost · MyPillow Founder Mike Lindell Found Liable For DefamationBy AP
Continued thread

Over the past ten days, I've been writing towards what I think is an obvious conclusion about what the Trumpenreich invasion of LA actually means; namely that President Trump has declared war on his ever-growing cohort of "enemies" and is now effectively operating the US government as an instrument of that war in real time. Furthermore, while the regime continues to lose in court on the subject of whether or not they're allowed to do all this fascist bullshit, the entire Trumpenreich state seems focused on accomplishing as much fascist repression as possible while those cases move through the appeals process. In other words, whether America is yet a dictatorship or not, the Trump regime is clearly operating as if the Swine Emperor is already a dictator.

Which is why it should certainly give you pause when the sitting President of the United States takes to his private social media site on Sunday night to release an unquestionably fascist argument for his intention to invade large, specifically-named, Democrat-run cities that happened to have large "No Kings" anti-Trump protests on Saturday.

Trump promises expanded immigration crackdown after ‘No Kings’ protests

"Trump raised the specter of an expanded immigration crackdown in a lengthy Sunday night post to his Truth Social network, alleging without evidence that the cities had become the “core of the Democratic power center” by using “illegal aliens to expand their voter base”.

Non-citizens are not permitted to vote in US elections – and there is no widespread evidence of them ever having done so.

“ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” he wrote.

“We must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”

First of all, let me state that as alarming as this Guardian piece from Richard Luscombe is, it really is still minimizing how outrageously fascist and threatening Trump's post actually was. There are a lot of media outlets reporting the nazi bullshit Trump just said as if it were merely the President being petulant about crowd sizes; those people are doing you a grave disservice. You can, and should, just read the President's post here: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru

Holy fuck folks, buddy has gone full Hitler, and more to the point this is absolutely not the inane cracker ramblings we're used to from late night Trump-posting. The president's post simultaneously portrays his Democrat political opponents and anyone who resists his mass deportation agenda as enemies of the American state and justifies the invasion of three of the largest Dem-run cities in America, while aligning his opposition with virtually every fascist moral panic "cancer" he claims is destroying American society. He justifies his order to make war on his opponents by accusing Democrats of rigging elections through illegal migrant voting, then weaponizes transphobia to accuse them of destroying our society, and finally he explicitly aligns liberals against every level of law enforcement and militarized authority in the country.

Of additional importance here is Trump's very deliberate use of white nationalist ideology and phrasing. The president openly references "mass migration destruction," and accuses Democrats of turning our "once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia." Perhaps most alarmingly, Trump directly refers to "remigration" which is a euphemistic word used only in white nationalist and nazi circles to describe the forced ethnic cleansing of Pig Empire nations to establish white ethnostates. If you told me this post had come from the diaries of Joey Goebbels himself, the modern American signifiers is the only way I'd know you were lying.

This is, without a hint of hyperbole, a fascist declaration of war designed to signify to Trump loyalists that the regime has indeed moved into a phase of open conflict and attempted purges of its political enemies; including milquetoast liberal Democrat politicians and officials. Much like his objectively nazi speech to hand-picked reactionary soldiers at Fort Bragg, this isn't just Trump being Trump, but rather the Swine Emperor revealing his new style of openly fascist rule; a warlord, subjugating all who oppose him, with the instruments of state as his weapons. Whether Trump will ultimately be able to bend the American state to his will enough to conduct multiple invasions of Democrat-controlled cities, and engage in ideological purges of the regime's enemies, remains an open question. But there is absolutely no doubt that he intends to, and is attempting to do so, as we speak.

from The Guardian:

"Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."

"The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers."

The Guardian · ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veteransBy Aaron Glantz

Virtually the entire Democratic political establishment needs to go: they could not be handed a more perfect moment to define their opponent, and have the populace back them up, and they are blowing it.

Nothing suggests they're owned by *their* billionaire donors more than this. #Democrats #DNC

Do NOT join the US #military. Do NOT join the militaries of any #nation which normally participates in America’s #wars. If you are in those militaries, you should get out by any means necessary, as quickly as possible
