Gleichschaltung is the process of making sure that no judge, no general, no governor, and no civil servant can say 'no' to the President. That is what is happened in 1933 in Germany and is happening in 2026 in America, and i adamantly oppose it.
Excellent summary and analysis of events regarding Alex Pretti’s murder. We need to believe what we saw and witness accounts , not the lies of the Trump regime!
Marc Elias, today, published this excerpt from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,
" When violence bursts onto the peaceful human condition, its face is flush with self-assurance. It displays on its banner and proclaims: “I am Violence! Make way, step aside, I will crush you!” But violence ages swiftly. A few years pass — and it is no longer sure of itself. To prop itself up, to appear decent, it will without fail call forth its ally —Lies. For violence has nothing to cover itself with but lies, and lies can only persist through violence. "
And we cannot wait a few years and have more similar death as the one of Alex Pretti.
Of course Trump and the GOP intend to be able to cancel the 2026 election pretending violence from the public.
Thank you both so very much. The amount of trauma so many of us are experiencing, both from the event itself and from the administration's responses, is beginning to earn compound interest. We are hanging on to your words and your wisdom.
Absolutely true that there is a permission structure. The administration is deliberately hiring people to behave Lawlessly and criminally. That cannot be denied.
What you describe has been the truth in the extreme since this election was "confirmed." We are being ruled by two men who hate America and everything that was great about it: Putin and Musk. At that time, Putin said to Musk, "Remember to tell Trump that he owes us." Trump's obedience proves his lack of any caring for our country--he only cares about his own power and wealth, all materiality, not moral or spiritual values. He has demeaned NATO, European nations, Canada. He emulates Putin's strategy of benefitting the richest to become his oligarchs, and shows no concern for those who suffer from lack and whose plight worsens. And, then there's the diminution and lack of appreciation of all of the arts.
should be following fed money to state and local police and ice and dhs and sue on behalf of victims under federal civil rights law eg LA rodney king case and trump and noem who have no immunity.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI REVEALS TRUE OBJECTIVE OF ICE VIOLENCE
This is a Shakedown to Get Minnesota's Voter Database
"Attorney General Pam Bondi told Gov. Walz that she will pull ICE out of Minnesota if Walz turns over Minnesota’s voter database as well as information about the state’s Medicaid and SNAP programs. She also wants him to repeal the state’s immigration sanctuary policies."
The Trump's Grand Strategy is now brought to light:
In light of Attorney General Bondi's above offer, which was undoubtedly made on Trump's orders, it's difficult to avoid concluding that the violence perpetrated by Noem's ICE agents was in fact designed to force Minnesota to turn over to Bondi their voter database and other records that Bondi and her accomplices at the DOJ will use to force voters, who are most likely to vote Democratic in the November Congressional elections, off the voter roles.
So this is what the violence has been all about, which Bondi will migrate among the blue states.:
It's extortion: Get the voter database and related records so we can strip the Blue voters off the roles.
The only reason the fat orange thing is in the White House is because Musk removed the Air Gap safeties of our election system to use his Starlink. Starlink exposed the election system to the internet. We must stop and confirm Starlink is NEVER used in ANY future election! Return our election system to Air Gap! 8647 NOW!
“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. In fact, that’s the only way it’s ever happened.” — Margaret Mead (1901-1978).
“Never has our future been more unpredictable. Never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense, forces that look like sheer insanity judged by the standards of other centuries. — The questions that my generation has been forced to live with: What happened? Why did it happen? How did this happen?” — Hanna Arendt (1906-1975).
Was Mead right or wrong? Yes.
We need everyone, but we also need answers to Arendt’s questions. Unfortunately, her generation only lived with but never did discover the answers, and where do they come from? Fortunately, I have a hypothesis.
How long does it take to recognize that an inconvenient truth is an opportunity worthy of further consideration? Max two minutes. How long does it take to misperceive an inconvenient truth as a threat? Less than one third of a second. What’s the default method for “neutralizing” an inconvenient truth misperceived as a threat? Ignore the messenger.
My hypothesis explains why it takes the scientific community less than one third of a second to misperceive the above opportunity as a threat. It also explains why it takes LAWINOs (lawyers in name only including Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and 6 SCOTUS justices) less than one third of a second to misperceive an inconvenient truth as a threat.
To me, it’s so simple it hurts, but I also know I can — and need to — make it easier for others to understand … so, I’m working on it.

“Try to stop”, ? It MUST be STOPPED! Please SOMEONE, anyone PUT A STOP TO THIS AND PUT THESE CRIMINALS IN JAIL where they belong!! When!!!
Prison.
Might help to remember there's no statute of limitations on murder. We may have to wait for the midterms, but I believe justice will prevail.
This is out and out right MURDER. This can not be ignored. These thugs must be capture, arrested and charged with these senseless acts of violence.

The US AG proposed ICE would be withdrawn if the state of Minnesota would turn over voting rolls and records to be sanitized by Trump. Horrific.
The extortionist-in-chief.
Thank you both so very much. The amount of trauma so many of us are experiencing, both from the event itself and from the administration's responses, is beginning to earn compound interest. We are hanging on to your words and your wisdom.
Andrew, can Minnesota submit an emergency request to Higher Courts to seek relief?
They have done just that in the 8th circuit.
Thank you for your reply; and Thank You for informing and educating us!!
Good to know.
Good question.

Yes. And, since the election Musk has been doing all he could to bring this about.
The only reason the fat orange thing is in the White House is because Musk removed the Air Gap safeties of our election system to use his Starlink.

Who has the ability and power to act on your understanding ? (is there any hope of fulfilling your suggestion?)
At what point in Trump's goose-step march to a fascist state will the majority of the Supreme Court shift to come to the rescue of our democracy?
Beautifully stated, Andrew... "one of the last things Mr. PETTY did on this planet was help this woman"
Thank you both for doing this post ! I have shared it w/many people.
