Please don't look away. They didn't have video evidence in the 30's, but we have lots of it. A great American city is under siege by a paramilitary force, on the orders of the federal government. And it won't be the last.

The nickname is Latin, literally "little boot," given when he joined his father on military campaigns when still a toddler, in full, child-sized military gear; it is a diminutive of caliga "heavy military shoe," which is of unknown origin.

If Dems don’t impeach Noem they really are pathetic
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis
Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

Once upon a time, presidents used their platforms to engage in public acts of service and charity, sending a message that we are all members of a community with responsibilities to one another.
Just thinking about that for no reason.
