In a 2024 campaign meeting, Trump remarked that if it were left to Miller there would be only 100 million people in the United States and they would all look like Stephen Miller.

[Stephen] Miller was…a true believer, more hard-line than the President he served, and he didn’t flinch. Trump would acknowledge that difference and joke about it in private.

[Stephen] Miller warned that those incapable of meeting the President’s demands would soon find themselves without a job. … Miller’s eruptions became legendary across the government.

…the agency developed a fearsome persona—armed, masked, and menacing—and began to post daily arrest numbers. Stephen Miller was applying immense pressure on the agency to keep up the pace of mass deportation and hit a 3,000 daily-arrests target. …Miller made no apologies for the pressure, telling officials that the President had campaigned on the largest deportation operation ever…

…from coast to coast, masked agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement seemed to be everywhere, and a new phenomenon emerged: Unsuspecting targets were being snatched from sidewalks and during traffic stops… It was a spectacle, captured on video, and that was key to the strategy. Viral videos made for viral fear…

Trump would seize on the broadest definition of emergency powers… Along with this would go the President’s crackdown on American civil society.
—M. Haberman & J. Swan, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump

…Trump claimed emergency powers. But unlike the objective disaster of the Great Depression, Trump’s emergencies were far more debatable. … And now, in term two, Trump and Miller decided to redefine the very concept of an “emergency.”

Of all the things that tariffs could be—bargaining chips, sources of revenue, tools of raw power—it was the last of these that Trump savored most. Tariffs were the perfect blunt weapon to bully foreign leaders over matters that had nothing to do with economics or national security.

During his first term in office, Wall Street served as both Trump’s compass and constraint… In that way, the markets would act as a shock collar to limit the damage. But not even that could be counted on anymore.

…the first shots of Trump’s second-term trade war were aimed at some of America’s closest friends and neighbors. This was more than unnerving to some members of Trump’s own team. …in the White House it was said there were now two types of people: those who loved tariffs and those who had lost the will to fight.

”Trump…started a sovereignty fight with the one country that can raise his gas prices, his food prices, his electricity bill and his borrowing costs simultaneously... Elbows up. Find out.”

”…den svenska regeringens systematiska sabotage mot klimatpolitiken … syftar till att dränera människor på tillförsikt och framtidstro. Genom att underminera vetenskap och evidensbaserad kunskap strävar den globala högerauktoritära rörelsen efter att skapa en skenvärld… Just därför är alla sorters medborgerliga manifestationer – av vilka dagens klimatmarsch i Stockholm är en – så betydelsefulla.”

”…flera opinionsundersökningar…visar att drygt 70 procent av vår befolkning är missnöjda med Tidöregeringen och vill ha en mer ambitiös klimatpolitik.”

Today in Stockholm, Friends joined #DenStoraKlimatDemonstrationen .
It felt important to be there. Not only because the climate crisis asks something of all of us, but because public witness matters.
It was also colourful and full of life: people gathering, walking, speaking, listening, and dancing.
Thank you to everyone who came, organised, carried signs, shared space, and helped make the day feel hopeful.

”I dag kan människor få sparken från sina jobb för att de är med i klimatorganisationen Rebellmammorna. Journalister kan hotas och trakasseras för att de rapporterar objektivt om klimatkrisen i public service och den svenska statsministern jämför klimataktivister med ”totalitära krafter”.”

”Svensk klimatpolitik under de senaste fyra åren kan inte beskrivas som annat än ett avsiktligt sabotage. … Enligt en granskningsrapport från Klimatpolitiska rådet kommer de samlade extrautsläpp som regeringen Kristersson lämnar efter sig uppgå till 40 miljoner ton koldioxid.”
