Perhaps, but it is also worth noting that every major American assassination attempt is, at its core, a whiny, jealous POS with a gun. Much like all school shooters.

🗃️ For example:

John Wilkes Booth > Whiny and jealous of his more famous brother, also a total piece of shit.

Trump Just Said Exactly What a Dictator Would Say The president had a despotic message for Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

"I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States," he declared.

This is a terrible idea. The US absolutely must not invade Mexico on the pretense of fighting drugs. This would be yet another failed, counter-productive "Punitive Expedition" that would be 100x worse than Pershing's in 1916. #History 🗃️

Disturbing news 🚨 the US Supreme Court just ruled the Trump admin. can resume deporting people to countries that they're not from without due process or the chance to challenge their removal in court.

This includes some of the world's most dangerous prisons in El Salvador, South Sudan, and Libya.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Signs to police 'negative' history went up at Manzanar. Historians are nervous. "It sends a pretty clear message that your story is not welcome here."

After years of saying we need to "preserve our history," the Trump regime is asking visitors to report "any depictions of U.S. history that 'inappropriately disparage Americans past or living." This is censorship in action and it will only become more overt over time.

To the extent to which one can worry, one should.
This is not so different from the AUMF for Vietnam with the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964 ... once permitted, there it goes, potentially, in terms of escalation. And it is historic. 🗃️

Vietnam veterans group wants help to cover extra costs of moving their memorial events - WTOP News Why is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund moving a pair of annual events from the National Mall in D.C. across the Potomac River to Alexandria, Virginia, this year?

Trump’s disgusting military parade is bumping Vietnam vets from the National Mall, forcing them to hold a long running memorial in Virginia with a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall. And he’s making them foot the bill. And this from a draft evader. I can’t even. 🗃️
