I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

To think that after all the effort FDR went through to prevent the Germans from getting nuclear weapons, Trump is providing Germany the impetus to finally get one.

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

Why would he care about domestic protests that have no impact and threaten nothing?
Since the American protests can be ignored, they will be ignored.
Since the Iranian protests can be exploited, they will be exploited.
