究竟是谁组织了这次特殊的恐怖行动，并不重要，重要的是由谁出牌以及如何出牌。
政治恐怖的目的不是恐吓，而是诱导其观察者采取某些行动。
…… 不应该让操纵者轻易煽动起“必要的”歇斯底里来证明激进措施的合理性。这也是普通人能做的最好的事。

#Trump Is Getting #Slammed for #antiTrans #Pledge on #Reddit, saying he would #rollback #transgender #rights on “day one” in #office if he is #reelected.
A #commenter summed it up perfectly, “Imagine being so #hateful that this is a #Day1 priority.”

Max Bergmann, a former State Department official and now program director with the Center for Strategic International Studies, predicts Russian-fueled turbulence at the Democratic national convention in August. He foresees attempts of Russian operatives to infiltrate groups of protestors and attempt to turn protests violent.
He also notes that social media has “become way more of a cesspool than it was in 2016.”
"Trumpism ushered in an era of threats, intimidation and retribution. It is getting worse. …
In recent testimony, Anthony Fauci discussed how even a year after leaving the public sector, he has to maintain a permanent security detail shadowing him, given credible death threats against him and his family."

"The riots that have spread across the UK from Southport since Tuesday are the effect of a cocktail of anti-immigrant, far-right views mixed with lies about a traumatic news event, gulped down by violent thugs. It is hard to unpick precisely how falsehoods, including that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker, were invented and spread. But there is no doubt about the malign role of public figures including Nigel Farage."

How the Terrorgram Collective’s Neo-Nazi Influencers Groomed a Teen to Kill
—
The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter. A ProPublica and FRONTLINE investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, international recruiting effort by online extremists.

Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons immediately upended the biggest single prosecution in U.S. history and signaled a broader reversal that threatens to create a more permissive climate in which extremists could regroup and weaken the FBI’s independence.
“The Federal Government Is Gone”: Under Trump, the Fight Against Extremist Violence Is Left Up to the States

As the White House redirects counterterrorism personnel and funds toward mass deportations, a state-level scramble is on to preserve efforts once supported by Washington. The result is a patchwork approach that leaves many areas uncovered.

"We witnessed something today only seen in dictatorial regimes. California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla exercised his First Amendment rights and fulfilled his constitutional obligations to ask a question of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem while in his home state. He was viciously manhandled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed. This is fascism."

"Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney who resigned from ICE’s legal department last month, told me he left because the mission was no longer about protecting the homeland from threats. 'It became a contest of how many deportations could be reported to Stephen Miller by December,' Boyd said. ...
'I had to make a moral decision,' he told me."

As Paul Waldman notes, somehow the US got through a couple of hundred years without law enforcement officers needing to cover their faces. Yet suddenly this is the norm for the Trump administration, which claims this is necessary to protect the officers. Why?
