When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Let's recall(TY SenKelly et al !!)that military personnel are not only allowed but are required to disobey orders that are contrary to their oath to the Constitution, the rule of military law! & our Declaration of Independence - Perfidy= "acts of deliberate betrayal" by elected officials or citizen
Put this together with today's announcement of a full withdrawal from Minnesota and yesterday's defeat on tariffs and you've got an administration clearly in retreat
