So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.
The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

1/ Trump claims that he's not surprised by the ruling against him on birthright citizenship because "they put it in front of a certain judge." That Judge happens to be a Reagan appointee who has been on the bench for four decades. He didn't think it was even close. joycevance.substack.com/p/go-judge
Go, Judge!
This morning, John Coughenour, a federal judge in Seattle, put an end to Donald Trump’s pretense that he could undo the constitutional right to birthright citizenship.

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.
But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.
