Aaron's activity on June 26 centered heavily on two interconnected themes: the criminalization of dissent and the broader authoritarian drift of American institutions.

The harshest sentences were a major focus. Aaron reposted multiple pieces covering the Prairieland ICE protest defendants, who received sentences of 30 to 100 years. Kim Kelly's piece in The Handbasket drew historical parallels to the 19th-century repression of anarchists and labor organizers, and Aaron amplified it alongside Mehdi Hasan's warning that these sentences should frighten everyone. A related repost described the Trump administration's immigration rhetoric not as loose talk but as an explicit, decade-long plan for ethnic cleansing with deadly consequences. Aaron also reposted concern about a woman who made an anonymous, second-hand tip that led to invasive state interviews of a four-year-old child — amplifying the argument that such a response should have been a last resort, not a default.

Aaron also engaged with questions about Democratic Party direction and institutional power. He reposted and commented on coverage of the New York primary results, pushing back on shallow media narratives about a DSA wave, and added his own note that it would be worth examining how party direction works in non-primary systems, observing that European parties aren't exactly models of good decision-making either. He amplified the argument that Congress's dysfunction has created a power vacuum filled by the courts and executive branch, and that any meaningful court reform has to start with the legislature reasserting itself. Separately, he reposted Mehdi Hasan's point that establishment media outlets routinely ignore far-right extremism within the House GOP while disproportionately scrutinizing the left, and reposted support for DC statehood in response to news that loitering on the National Mall is now prohibited.
