"Donald Trump has stated that one of the biggest threats America faces is “the enemy from within.” He has said that as president, he would use our military to go after those who don’t support him.

Use the .. military to go after .. citizens? Let that sink in." www.instagram.com/reel/DBM4VVB...

National Guard kills four students in Kent State shootings | May 4, 1970 | HISTORY On May 4, 1970, in Kent, Ohio, 28 National Guardsmen fire their weapons at a group of anti-war demonstrators on the Kent State University campus, killing four students, wounding eight, and permanently...

Do those "States Rights" folks have anything to say about California and the National Guard? *crickets

NO KINGS WESTMORELAND COUNTY PA · No Kings On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress created the U.S. Army to stand up against a monarch who claimed absolute power. 250 years later, Donald Trump wants to twist that legacy into a personal cele...

McIver should be pardoned and given a $5m payment.

Kristi Noem, referring to Lamonica McIver's arrest: "They can conduct oversight, but senator what I would ask is that they
understand that that doesn't mean they can show up with a mob and assault law enforcement officers."

I'm a big fan of controlling prices of pharmaceuticals. I would also like to have a long discussion with the Disciples of the orange baboon about communism and the government setting prices.

U.S.-born American citizen under ICE hold in Florida after driving from Georgia Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate “authentic” and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an “illegal alien.”

And it escalates.

Just tried to buy a wing paddle from China. Was $300 now $672. At this rate I'm not going to have any money left over for eggs.

"Boys will be Boys".. the license to be an privileged, ignorant asshole.

Remember when we used to look aghast at other countries "disappearing" people with secret police? Ah.. nostalgia.

Why would you purge people at the top of the military who pledged to defend the constitution? Oh, wait...

That post is literally everything wrong with the US. We value military might over health, happiness, education, etc..

If military buildup was the response to the last cold war, why isn't educational buildup part of the response to new threats that prey on the uneducated (ie., misinformation campaigns)

DOGE Employees aren't PII Trained. High level defense officials can't recognize classified information. And we're eliminating the DoE. "Making America Stupid Again"

Comer's testimony against NPR/PBS cited "biased" stories that only included negative Trump articles. Again, this isn't about efficiency, or biased news even. It's about shutting down opposition.

Uniformity is an unintelligent nightmare; there can be no uniformity in a free human society. Uniformity can only be created by the tyranny of a totalitarian regime.” [Herbert Read, Anarchy and Order, pp. 87-8]

Remember when Iraq invaded Kuwait and we offered Iraq sanctions relief to persuade them to withdraw?

Trump issues executive order targeting election rules: What to know The order says voters must provide proof of US citizenship and only ballots received by Election Day will be counted.

This is terrifying. He doesn't have authority to do this. But it will create another way to confuse his cult into thinking the elections aren't valid in 2028 ( or sooner )

People complain about government inefficiency and incompetence yet admit we have the "strongest" military on the planet. What would our social programs look like if we invested the same and took the same pride in their excellence?

Six month low!! Making America Great Again, one sell-off at a time. I've never been a big fan of judging well-offness from the stock market, but Trump has. He apparently has other interests now.

And.. privatization is an exchange for political power.

When will reprivatization start? When Trump's government starts handing authority to private industry; replacing services previously supplied by the now neutered government organizations. www.jstor.org/stable/30033...

Trump Administration Said to Drop Lawsuit Over Toxic Chemical The Biden administration had sued to force the Denka Performance Elastomer plant in Louisiana to reduce emissions of chloroprene, a likely carcinogen.

Trump touted his admin's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda during yesterday's address.

What he didn't say is that the EPA plans to drop a lawsuit against a chemical manufacturer whose emissions fueled pollution and health problems in Louisiana's "Cancer Alley."

I was today years old when I learned why MAGA chose red hats en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red...

I remember thinking we had finally made progress.

"On December 25, 1991, the Soviet hammer and sickle flag lowered for the last time over the Kremlin, thereafter replaced by the Russian tricolor."

I won't call it a mandate, but the fact that (can't remember the exact poll that NPR quoted yesterday) 45% of the US still support Trump and think he's doing a good job is disturbing

This is scary because even if it works, the economy that will exist after the recovery isn't going to be very kind to anyone in the margins. We're not Making American Great Again, we're revisiting past mistakes.
