Thank you to the hundreds of military commanders summoned to Fat Man and Little Boy's psychotic Ted Talk for not giving Pete and Trump the applause they so desperately wanted. Sadly, these two idiots with fundamental, immature misunderstandings about the military are also the ones who issue orders.

Don't forget: "I was following orders" isn't a defense, it's a confession. While responsible law enforcement and military training installs mental roadblocks and self-awareness, recent ICE ads make the recruitment in The Parallax View seem subtle. Trump may pardon Kristi Noem. He won't pardon you.
ICE TV Commercial Fails To Attract Any Police Officers

With the public now effectively, and illegally, shut out of timber sale meetings, as illustrated by KS Wild's George Sexton at a BLM Medford meeting, everyone in our regional conservation space must realize direct action to preserve our forests will be the inevitable, unifying demand on all of us.
BLM timber sales in Oregon and Washington are now closed to the public

Addled with dementia and cognitive failure, Trump is delusional. He could get on his Qatari bribe jet and fly out to Portland to see for himself how nothing is going on, but he doesn't want to see reality. None of them do, especially Stephen Miller — now the de facto dictator of the United States.

Please share this with your networks. Americans need to know NOTHING IS GOING ON IN PORTLAND except whatever Stephen Miler is whispering into Trump's ear. They're manufacturing a crisis. They're LYING. Thirty percent of the country may cheer this, but the rest are getting fed up with Trump's chaos.

Apparently military brass are now referring to Trump and Pete Hegseth as Fat Man and Little Boy after their weird, immature, ultimately despotic waste of time on Tuesday. If the shoe fits. But it's still terrifying these impulse-driven assholes have access to nuclear weapons.

Take a good look. This is the homepage of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development lying to you on your dime, blaming the "radical left" for the federal government shutdown despite the fact Republicans control THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. This goes beyond autocracy straight to 1984.
