A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

What badass investigative reporter is going undercover with one of these ICE goon squads? This is, like, THE story right now. Who trains? What rules of engagement? What propaganda do they consume? How do they recruit, and weed out non-sadists? Would they follow orders to shoot regime enemies?

A company called "Frontier Valley" has declared it will build a new Network State zone on federal land in Alameda, California.
Below: A "draft" presidential executive order that would have Trump declare a "national security emergency" to permit the project.
PR stunt, or aggressive new phase?

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

Here's one more clip of the $TRUMP crypto whales as they wrapped up their White House tour Friday & prepared to return home to spots in the U.S. and Asia and other destinations from where they'd come. Welcome help on IDs on any of them. Most of them declined to confirm their names when I asked them.
