Jesus Christ. Every day it escalates.
The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy"
I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

My heart breaks for this country and its grim, bleak, joyless future. Our systems that, in spite of many dents and dings, have worked astonishingly well for decades are being burned to ashes and replaced with systems from which only the exceedingly wealthy can benefit.

On May 2022, Russia permanently banned 963 US citizens from entering their country. I was one of them.
In May 23 they barred 500; in March 24, 227 more.

Most money for US aid to Ukraine went to US manufacturers. It is literally American industry, and part of the funding was for expanding US industrial capacity.

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.
