Would you be surprised to hear that none of the leading American political reporters are talking about this? They are acting like this never happened. Because it reveals the state of mind of our Commander in Chief. And that’s a taboo subject in America.

A government that pushes toward war while the economy struggles and healthcare declines is failing its people.
Leaders should fix problems at home — not send young Americans into needless conflicts.

Don’t give up on us. We have a lot of fight left. Trump’s approval ratings are the lowest since 1960. We will overcome Trump and his kleptocracy.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

The 53 cars at the Hagerstown Maryland warehouse this morning, appearing a few hours after we left, are NOT the 100 on their way from Minneapolis.

Detention center is more MASSIVE than you can imagine. All this “moving in” while there’s a law suit from MD & other actions to keep from opening.
