This isn’t hard: Saddam Hussein was world historically brutal and sadistic and awful. Ranks in the upper tiers of the 20th century. Surpasses the brutality of Iranian leadership.
We don’t need to throat clear before saying why it’s atrocious and illegal what is being done by trump, vance et al

President Trump is using East Potomac Park in Washington as a dumping ground for the remains of the East Wing. He also wants to turn its affordable golf course into a luxury destination. “It’ll be a real loss for a lot of people in the city,” a local resident said.

Bari Weiss built her career in part by whining about how the left was supposedly censoring conservatives. “The Free Press” - the unironic title of her publication - ran numerous pieces about a “censorship-industrial complex.”
Now, under her watch, we get to see real censorship - and hypocrisy.
I'm staying on this, since it's not breaking through enough.
This is the stupidest, most dangerous thing Trump is doing. It affects the entire world and it's irreversible.

The death toll from Musk’s budget cuts will surpass that of every war in the last few decades combined.
He knowingly triggered famines and collapsed health systems, yet he faces no consequences.
We need to stop calling it cost-cutting and start calling it what it is: mass murder
Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
