I very much doubt it happened but if/when it does, the story will probably break in some ridiculous way, like a cabinet secretary accidentally posting it on Pinterest

I’m going on a roadtrip soon and I’m wondering if I need my passport. I’m a citizen who is blonde and white. I can’t even imagine the fear for anyone non-white right now. This county is fucked.

I always keep my phone on night mode because I don’t like bright white screens. But suddenly my apps are black.

I have an ex that physically and emotionally abused me for 3 years. I sometimes talk about it because women need to hear that it happened to others. Women usually hide it and feel very alone.

Pete Hegseth’s job was to prosecute domestic culture war, pushing to re-segregate and intellectually degrade the US military. He wasn’t supposed to have to manage the Defense Department during times of international crisis.
This article details how Trump has sidelined two of his worst cabinet choices—Hegseth and Gabbard—during deliberations over Iran. Everyone knew they should never have been appointed. But Trump did it anyway and now it would be embarrassing to fire them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Navigating Iran crisis, Trump relies on experience over star power
As President Trump weighs military actions against Iran, officials and advisers say that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and DNI Tulsi Gabbard have been sidelined.

This 100%. Trump bares responsibility for the political violence in our country.
"Trump has made clear over and over that he approves of violence done in his name, and that he believes that his enemies deserve to be physically harmed. That creates a permission structure in which MAGA supporters may feel that they can aid the cause through threats and violence."
MAGA political violence claims more victims
Trump’s movement relies on terror.

Donald is creating a database of private personal information about every American -- literally hundreds of data points each. This is a far deeper and more dangerous breach of privacy than just about anything we've seen.

9 months later, this comedy video about Project 2025 isn’t so funny now that it’s reality. There are some people you might recognize in Trump’s current administration. Yet Trump lied and said he had no clue what P2025 was. What and who do you notice?

“Recently deputized” means “frustrated gym bros who wanna carry guns and boss people around.” It’s always the biggest failures at life who sign up first to be enforcers, torturers and concentration camp guards. This is beyond fucking dangerous and it’s gonna get people killed.
Using "recently deputized" ICE agents who don't follow procedure and perform arrests in plainclothes wearing masks and refuse to show badges is a great way to generate a violent situation.
It's only a matter of time before these cowboys encounter "stand your ground" and it'll be 100% their fault.

ICE says they will bring charges against the two Immigration Rapid Response Hotline volunteers who demanded that agents show their badges before seizing two men from the Charlottesville courthouse. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...
