Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Nat'l Guard commanders, in litigation challenging the high-visibility mission in DC, argued that this could put them in danger. The DOJ countered that the risk was merely “speculative.”

Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

After the National Guard shooting, the US needs to reckon with how its legacy of global violence inevitably comes home. Stephen Miller wants to do anything but.

This isn’t just an improper blending of church and state.
It’s a twisted mockery of Christianity that ought to offend any actually devout Christian.
Showing armed soldiers moving into battle as you lip service “… as we forgive those who trespass against us” sorta misses the point.

Donnie sees it too.
He feels the heat as it approaches.
He tries to shut his ears to it's endless screaming.
It pushes a wave of insanity ahead of it.
He deflects from his grandchildren, so he doesn't feel the shame.
He is terrified of Death.
Both in the moment & what comes next.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.
