The change in the administration's tactics in Minneapolis is not a retreat. Instead, they are regrouping and planning another mode of attack, with the hopes that their repression might be met with resistance that is easier to control and contain. People who garner their relevancy and power through the dehumanization and oppression of others will do whatever it takes to cling to their soulless sense of self.

The posts have referred to neo-Nazi literature, ethnic cleansing and QAnon conspiracies, mused about deporting nearly a third of the U.S. population, and promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the far-right militants of the Proud Boys. Their authors are not on society's fringe. They are in the offices of the White House and the departments of Homeland Security and Labor, using official government accounts.

Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File Hip hop mogul Kanye West apologized To Those I've Hurt in a 750-word ad in The Wall Street Journal on Monday, where he attempted to explain away his erratic behavior over the years that included the use of white nationalist and antisemitic tropes. West, who legally changed his name to Ye in 2021, began his apology by discussing a brain injury he received in a 2002 car accident, and which he blamed for contributing to his bipolar I disorder.

That is one of those white evangelical churches that turn out to vote for Donald Trump 80%+ of that sect of Christianity. These are the Don't Tread on Me folks. These are the people who feel like America is for Americans and American only. These are white nationalists. And the DOJ got their panties in a wad because these protesters went straight to them and addressed their hypocrisy.

Ridge, a moderate Republican and a Vietnam vet with a square jaw and gentle manner, was the governor of Pennsylvania when nearly 3,000 Americans were killed on September 11, 2001. The nation was gripped with fear and horror, and President George W. Bush put the bipartisanship-seeking Ridge in charge of making sure there wouldn't be another terrorist strike. The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.

On Saturday, the Labor Department wrote on social media: "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American." Accompanying the text was a short video showing what appears to be a statue of President George Washington overlaid on a series of war-themed historic American paintings and propaganda posters.

Michaels, a moment earlier, said it was fair to be concerned about Islamist attacks, after the shooting in Australia and an ISIS-inspired attack that killed three Americans in Syria this past weekend. She said that even if 1% of the world's Muslim population is sympathetic to terrorist attacks, that is still 20 million people to be worried about. I don't think the alarm is about Muslims migrating to America, she said. I think the alarm is about assimilation.

And while the paper he wrote about killing Mexicans and disenfranchising non-whites got him some notoriety, he wasn't in trouble over it per se. He got in trouble after he took to Twitter to announce that " Jews should be abolished by any means." That tweet was read as a threat by the university and prompted them to expel Damsky to prevent the campus from becoming hostile.

B lack-clad white men stand at attention. They chant and hold crude banners with "D.E.I. IS HOW NATIONS DIE" and "MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW" scrawled across them. A man screams through a megaphone about "foreign blood" and "retak[ing] our nation" while his followers intone the words "honour," "heritage," and "triumph." This scene-from a video posted to white nationalist Telegram channels-is footage of a rally held in Toronto on May 3 of this year.

I'm not saying that there is a Holocaust, and by the way, I'm not saying that Donald Trump is Hitler, Biden said. Because Hitler had an ideology. And he had a grand plan. Donald Trump is purely corrupt. Donald Trump is a narcissistic sociopath who only cares about one thing, and that's Donald Trump. And he is a clown in that respect.

On one side: a rowdy and ascendant coalition of ultra-nationalists, populists, and Gen-Zers who are clamoring for an end to US support of Israel. On the other: the neoconservative, Zionist old guard who are increasingly marginalized and on the defense. As the clash rattles the MAGA coalition at its highest levels, one man stands at the center, enjoying the mayhem: Nick Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist streamer whose moment has finally arrived.

Similar ads are playing in markets around the country, as ICE officials oversee a major recruitment campaign. Federal officials are hoping to recruit " patriots" in order to "remove the worst of the worst" from the country. Current data shows that more than 71% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions. Some advocates say that the ads being used by the federal government are using images and rhetoric that are steeped in white nationalism.

What makes someone suspicious enough to be grabbed by masked federal authorities? Is it a Mexican family eating dinner at a table near a taco truck? Afghan women in hijabs working at a Middle Eastern market? South Asian girls in colorful lehengas, speaking Hindi at an Indian wedding? According to Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, writing a concurrence in the Supreme Court's emergency ruling allowing roving immigration raids in Los Angeles, any of these could be fair game, using law and "common sense."
