Exclusive: DHS secretary seeks military arrests in Los Angeles in leaked letter

How can we be in such a stupid timeline?

It is perfectly obvious that Trump and his fascist brain trust are methodically testing every limit to democracy, they are already arresting citizens who have broken no laws, they are using physical violence and military control over civilians, and this is obviously leading up to a militarized authoritarian state. And at the same time our Congress - including many GOP opportunists who don't actually believe in Trump but think there's no real danger - are utterly incapable of seeing the big picture.

You spineless windbags in Congress, it's happening right now, Trump is dismantling democracy right now. Do something. Introduce articles of impeachment and shut down Congress until they're voted on, put pressure at every possible point.

Yes, congresspeople, you didn't have the votes, that's why you influence public opinion in service of what's right - you know, politics. Have you heard of it?

Their learned helplessness is just giving Trump unitary lawless control on a silver platter.

Fascist bastards.
