If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

The Trump regime is disappearing people to indefinite detention in third countries they’ve never been to, often giving them no chance to contest their deportation and breaking U.S. and international law.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is both incredibly horrifying and entirely unsurprising. It is horrifying that a president would call for the death of his political foes. But completely unsurprising coming from Trump.
Remember this is a man who called for the execution of five innocent Black teenagers. He told us who he was.

This is also a perfect illustration that there is a wide and deep chasm between private practice attorneys and public prosecutors when it comes to responsibility. "Attorney" doesn't mean interchangeability into any setting. That's why Trump's appointments in Justice are so corrupt/incompetent.

To non-lawyers: this level of incompetence is BREATHTAKING. It is absolutely incomprehensible. This is a "mistake" that will be taught in criminal procedure classes for GENERATIONS.

On the eve of the vote to release the Epstein files and (hopefully) end the silence, a lot of reporters stayed silent when one of their female peers was called Piggy by the president.
We can’t end violence against women unless a whole lot more people are willing to speak up when they see it.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
