Do not forget that Trump's first action was to release 1,500 violent criminals who once fought for him and now owe him. So in true gangster regime style, he started all this with an army of thugs who could threaten, overtly or tacitly, anyone (and their families) in his way. GOP capitulation anyone?

I ride 'analog' road & hybrid bikes-when going >25 mph - usually downhill - I am paying CLOSE attention to EVERYTHING. Seems many ebike riders going 25-30 mph are dangerously lackadaisical when continuously going that speed. #BikeAdvocacy

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

He's dozing off in public & the press is picking it up at last. But they also shoud be more honest about his inability to think rationally about issues and getting carried away by insane things like attacking Venezuela & sending ICE goons to plague US cities. He's way crazier than Biden.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
