Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous.
Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos.
Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

Euthanasia.
What's an appropriate analogy for a state voluntarily dismantling its own state capacity and wider societal scientific capability, absent being defeated in war? China didn't have much state capacity during the Cultural Revolution so that doesn't feel quite right.

You’re worth fighting for, America!
