#12its hard to see how the United States recovers from this administration
Given the administration is openly talking about not having elections, I am not sure it can. I am guessing all this chatter about the insurrection act is itself a cover to not have midterms. Will that be enough to spark mass protests and general strikes? I am not sure. I genuinely think the ability for massively violating acts to be normalized quickly is unprecedented. Anything is possible.

#13They're going to continue abusing people, injuring them, killing them and violating their rights because there's no accountability. The administration endorses this behavior. Dissolve ICE, dissolve DHS, impeach Noem and prosecute and or bar every single ERO agent from future public service.
The promise made was that they were going after "bad people", e.g., murderers, rapists, etc. I don't think many people have a problem with that.
But that's not who they're going after, it's everybody, with a focus on ethnic cleansing. It is no longer hyperbole to compare what's happening now to Germany in the 1930's.

I think it is relevant to HN users that the US is falling into authoritarianism with seemingly no guardrails to prevent it.

#15In my view, no immunity attaches to a "law enforcement" officer's knowing violation of the letter or the spirit of court orders.
But who holds them accountable? The DOJ right? Is that who can pursue a case against government officials violating constitutional rights? If so, it’s not enough. We need a rethink of checks and balances. This was clear even after the first Trump administration but we’re well past that now, and in this first year the second Trump administration has conducted a lot more violations.
The DOJ under this administration will abet these violations. Every department that would normally serve as a check is now headed by a feckless loyalist.

I do not think it will. The Democratic Party is not an opposition party in its current form. The GOP will likely hold on to power in a fashion consistent with historical authoritarian takeovers.

Agreed. They've made it quite clear that they intend to label any dissent or protest as terrorism and use force to suppress it. I don't see how the situation will improve. Perhaps if the 3.5% rule holds true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5%25_rule

#18This being flagged feels consistent with the attitudes of Silicon Valley and tech leadership generally.

The promise that was made was to go after the type of people you described - first. Not to stop after them.

#20Why do people flag anything related to ice coverage? Ice are literal nazis cracking down on dissent, dont support the administration. You gain nothing for fighting their battles online.
