“Base living—in the unofficial Trump Green Zone—has also become something of a double-edged status symbol among Trump officials. No one wants to deal with threats…But the secure housing does confer upon the recipient a certain sheen of importance that sets them apart from all of the other officials”

And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases. Gift link here: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

A retired LEO in Tennessee has spent more than a month in jail without trial after he posted a meme quoting Donald Trump following the murder of Charlie Kirk. "We have to get over it," Trump said after a 2024 school shooting. He can't afford his $2 million bail. www.rawstory.com/anti-trump-f...

5. Trump sacked the best US intelligence analysts on Russia & Ukraine relying on his own daydreams instead. 6. Trump failed to come up with any sensible peace proposal & thus failed. 7. Trump even blamed the war on Zelensky & Biden rather than Putin. /3

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained." Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.
