Both Trump and his “border czar,” Tom Homan, have said California officials could face arrest if they’re perceived as impeding ICE operations.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back against threats of arrest by Trump administration officials, remaining defiant as he oversees clashes between law enforcement agents and protesters in response to immigration raids across Los Angeles while also managing an ongoing power struggle with the federal government.
In an interview for MSNBC with NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff, Newsom called Homan’s bluff, urging him to “just get it over with” and move ahead with the arrest.
“He’s a tough guy. Why doesn’t he do that? He knows where to find me,” Newsom said. “That kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let’s go."
The acceptance of liberal fascism is how we got here. It’s not how we get out.
Liberal fascism doesn’t fucking exist. Fascism is a right wing ideology you nutter.
This is literally authoritarian rhetoric.
No, the “well they’re both corrupt/bad so fuck it” without acknowledging that bad/corrupt is a scale not a binary is how we got here.
