As @jahwaiian.bsky.social (Dr. Johnson) said in the online panel “Our Oceans in Peril,” this push is less about nickel & cobalt than power,exercised over territories whose people have no vote in Congress. #Colonialism #OceanJustice

This is not a drill. This is not just Sunday. This is the ’dictator for a day’ guy publicly announcing on a storied legacy media outlet that he plans to overturn the US Constitution and American democracy as we know it.
President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
