Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

“We don't know that you can gain rights in the U.S., and you can lose those rights almost completely."
But it’s what happened to Black Americans during the Great Nadir – the period after Reconstruction. “Are we going to enter another Nadir… or continue to pursue an egalitarian society?” #Velshi

Nikole Hannah-Jones: Trump came right ‘out of the gate’ with a racial agenda—not an economic one
In the decades following Reconstruction, the country experienced The Great Nadir-- a period of racial retrenchment and violent enforcement of white power. America is at an inflection point, warns Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones, and faces the risk of slipping into a second Nadir in race relations more than 140 years after the first, which lasted nearly four decades. "We can decide in this moment as Americans: are we going to enter another nadir, or are we going to push back against that and continue to pursue an egalitarian society?"

The Trump administration is playing games with the federal government with the intent to scare the public into submission. But not everybody will go meekly, thank goodness! Today the White House rescinded their earlier order to pause all federal grants and loans, due to public outcry! Keep it up!
