How Trump Unleashed a Domestic Terrorism Movement—And What Experts Say Must Be Done to Defeat It – Mother Jones
Trump did more than just invite supporters to a rally. He also repeatedly shared a slickly produced video, titled "The Plot to Steal America," that warned ominously of a Chinese communist scheme involving Biden, the Democrats, and the news media, and called for Trump supporters to mobilize. "We know that our rights don't come from the government, but from God," declared the narrator, an Ohio jewelry buyer formerly employed by the pro-Trump propaganda outlet the Epoch Times. "And we will fight to the death to protect those rights." In a tweet the day after Christmas, Trump suggested that if the Democrats were in his position, the "Rigged & Stolen" presidential election would be considered "an act of war, and fight to the death."…

Portland’s anti-ICE protests are a magnet for MAGA influencers
"Despite repeated advice from officers to stay away from the ICE crowd, they constantly return and antagonize the protesters until they are assaulted or pepper sprayed. They refuse or are reluctant to walk away from these confrontations, even when police are in the area trying to meet with them. They even engage in the same trespassing behavior on federal and trolley property as the main protesters," Braun wrote in the Sept. 21 email...

The Christian Radicals Are Coming - The Atlantic
"I am not on the Earth to be blessed; I'm on the Earth to be armed and dangerous." He went on: "I am not on the Earth to feel good. I'm not on the Earth to do my own thing. I'm on this Earth as a God-appointed warrior in a dark time."
That is what four days of carefully choreographed sermons and violent imagery had come to with only weeks to go before the presidential election. And just as the crowds had in Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia, people in Eau Claire cheered. They said amen, and then 2,000 Christian warriors headed into the Wisconsin evening, among them a young man named Josh Becker, a local who'd attended all four days. He said he felt inspired. He said he wasn't sure exactly what he was supposed to do, only that "we have to do something—we have a role."
"I believe the father is going to lead us through a dark time," he said, referring to the election and whatever God might require of him. "The Kingdom of God is now."…

‘I will never be detained’: Trump defiant in first speech since federal indictment
He went on to launch a tirade against federal officials, saying, "Now the Marxist left is once again using the same corrupt DoJ [justice department] and the same corrupt FBI, and the attorney general and the local district attorneys to interfere … They're cheating. They're crooked. They're corrupt. These criminals cannot be rewarded. They must be defeated. You have to defeat them.
"Because in the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you and I'm just standing in their way," he said...

Trump's "Call to Violence" Against FBI as He Faces Espionage Act Charges Is "Replay" of Jan. 6 Riot - YouTube
A search warrant made public on Friday reveals the FBI is investigating former President Donald Trump for three federal crimes, including violating the Espionage Act, obstruction of justice and criminal handling of government records, after removing top-secret documents when they raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate last week. Meanwhile, Trump is calling the investigation a hoax, and Republican threats are growing against the FBI. We speak with Karen Greenberg, director of the Center on National Security at Fordham University School of Law, who calls Trump's reaction to the FBI search a "call to violence," setting the stage for a "replay" of January 6. "We really need to try to understand what former President Trump intended to do with this material" despite the backlash, says Greenberg.

A history of violence: Senate hears how Trump stoked Capitol assault over years | Trump impeachment (2021) | The Guardian
...Raskin went there on Thursday, asking senators whether they honestly believe Trump would not incite more violence if he occupied the White House again. "Would you bet the lives of more police officers on that?" he demanded. "Would you bet the safety of your family on that? Would you bet the future of your democracy on that?
"If he gets back into office and it happens again, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves."...

How Republicans' defense of Trump over his impeachment trial hurts him in the long run
...Republican senators' shirking their responsibility to judge Trump's actions on the merits has consequences — consequences Trump himself may not like. The focus after an impeachment trial that fails to provide the accountability Americans deserve will shift to the even more divisive prospect of a criminal prosecution of Trump for conspiracy to engage in an insurrection...
