Today in immediately presidency-ending crimes for anyone else but our One Special Boy
The constitutional prohibition on using federal law to abridge the freedom of the press is unusually explicit and really does mean what it says.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.
The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

Two cities under siege
Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.
Holy crap.
This is the most damning video yet.
It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.

White House propaganda.
The White House manipulated this image to deceive the public. Same moment, altered expression, manufactured narrative. That’s intentional.
And yes, it looks racist. Using a doctored image of a Black woman to signal criminality isn’t subtle. Expect more of this.

The damage Trump has done to American trust and respect around the world is immeasurable. And will undoubtedly impact our troops serving overseas now and for years to come.
It makes people furious. And also, makes America (and our troops) less safe.
