04.10.2025 18:16 β π 4339 π 1213 π¬ 1146 π 311The Trump administration pardons hundreds of cop beaters who wanted to overturn an election and then it wants to stage this sort of arrest of a former the FBI director investigated Trumpβs campaign. Sums it up. No law, no order.

He called on the admirals and generals to be ready to fight βthe enemy from withinβ in American cities.
Itβs another dangerous escalation into American authoritarianism says @davidcorn.bsky.social.
