Senator Lisa Murkowski, the moderate Alaska Republican who has routinely broken with her party to criticize President Trump, has made a startling admission about the reality of serving in public office at a time when an unbound leader in the Oval Office is bent on retribution against his political foes.

“We are all afraid,” Ms. Murkowski said, speaking at a conference in Anchorage on Monday. After pausing for about five seconds, she acknowledged: “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”

Ms. Murkowski’s comments were first reported by The Anchorage Daily News.

Ms. Murkowski, an independent voice in an increasingly tribal party, has been the rare Republican on Capitol Hill willing to criticize the Trump administration. After Mr. Trump in February berated President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in the Oval Office, she warned that the United States was “walking away from our allies.”….

On Monday in Anchorage, Ms. Murkowski said she did not plan to stop speaking out, even if she was frightened of retaliation. “That’s what you’ve asked me to do,” she said, referring to her constituents. “I’m going to use my voice to the best of my ability.”

She added: “I have to figure out how I can do my best to help the many who are so anxious and are so afraid.”…

Name and shame ICE agents. Carve swastikas into their Nazi stormtrooper foreheads.

Exactly. It’s a wedge issue that distracts everyone from the class war that is leading the world towards fascism.

I just visited HK for the first time and it’s remarkably beautiful while similar in a lot of ways to NYC. I would be sad to see it slip into the darkness of an authoritarian regime.

Kagi is pretty amazing. You have to pay but the peace of mind is worth it for the respect of your privacy. FastGPT is a phenomenally helpful tool that I use multiple times per day. Kagi.com

Truly chilling to think that if they black bag you, that’s it. You have no day in court.
