I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

I want to hear the follow up - did he get arrested for car theft?
In Los Angeles, California, a man’s father was abducted and kidnapped by ICE. While attempting to locate him using a GPS tracker in his car, they discovered that his stolen truck was being driven around by an ICE Bounty Hunter during his off-duty period from December 2nd to December 3rd.

And we thought Maduro was bad.
Even in the context of a drug cartel, President Trump fawns over the elites and screws the working man.
New in PN: Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise
"For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing 'drug dealers.' Now he's making that happen even as he pardons actual drug kingpins."

How about the innocence project peeps temporarily change their focus to LQBTQ folks?
Content warning for rape, sexual violence and transphobia/anti-LGBTQIA+ discrimination
This is horrific . . . ultimately not shocking given his ongoing campaign again trans/queer/migrant/other marginalised people, but still, how is there a team around him just accepting that this is in anyway ok

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

It would be too easy to write them off, and say they asked for it, but that’s not who we are.
While what Trump said about both Ilham Omar and the Somali community is both racist and vile, I have to point out that the Minnesota Somali community ENDORSED TRUMP IN 2024 OVER GAZA, and thus brought all this upon themselves: www.startribune.com/democrats-lo...
Democrats lost support with Somali Minnesota voters in 2024 presidential election
Concerns about the Israel-Gaza war, the economy and not feeling heard contributed to shifting political tide.

That is it. They are removing the witnesses.
There is a reason why Trump and Hegseth would have wanted everyone involved in these strikes dead. Survivors will talk and nothing would be more embarrassing than survivors who clearly are not cartel members or boats without drugs.
The actions would be illegal even if these were drug smugglers.

Lots of news about Hegseth. I honestly don’t even remember who Biden‘s Secretary of Defense was. I sure miss the drama free days where we had competent people running things.
Is there a Polymarket poll whether Pete Hogsbreath was drunk or sober at the time he ordered Admiral "Mitch" to Drop the 2nd bomb and

Shame, all those years of SEALs & DEVGRU but Bradley couldn't spot an obvious trap set up by the world's least trustworthy people.
Of course the illegal order they gave Bradley which he followed has now become his "combat decision" for which he is responsible. It was always going to be that way.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

I will be forever sad the Cornell did this too. Making an ethical decision based on money is never going to work out for a so-called institute of higher learning.
The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Of course, we’ll get skewered on social media, but what about the folks that were killed during ICE raids in California? All needless, all performative BS. All people who didn’t choose to put themselves in harm way.
One guy killed one National Guard member and the media is treating it like it’s 9/11 because they’re scared the President will accuse them of underreacting if they try to apply even the slightest bit of proportionality
