#America under #Trump with help of his #Americaoligarchs is becoming like #Russia under #Putin....
Arresting protesters, opponents, changing laws, constitution,sacking or removing journalists, very soon bringing killing on the streets against his own citizens #America #DictatorTrump

Except it isnโ€™t just authoritarianism itโ€™s fascism. Whatโ€™s needed is ordinary decent people in their masses in sustained nonviolent protest to defeat fascism. South Korea got rid of their leaders twice by doing this. Itโ€™s doable.

Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"

Itโ€™s an obvious point but apparently we have to keep making it: when Trump weakens Ukraine he created the conditions for a longer and bloodier war.

Remains of dozens of WWII, Vietnam War troops brought to Hawaii for forensic identification The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agencyโ€™s forensic lab in Hawaii has begun analyzing dozens of human remains retrieved from Laos and the Philippines in recent weeks.

I've researched a lot of soldiers who lost their lives at Cabanatuan, so am hoping some will be identified. #WWII

Preparing data from the 1941 National Farm Survey for addition to my #OnePlaceStudy website, but along the way finding things to check / analyse further! Then I checked the parish's Farm Survey data from 1946 for comparison and saw that 2 farm workers in the parish were Prisoners of War... #GenHour
