"The function of Trump's administration is to consolidate power.

They are working to develop a different kind of government, an authoritarian kind of government, where they have all of the control." - Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social

The Guardian’s 1986 advert “Points of View” highlighted how perspective shapes understanding. The message was clear: the way we interpret a situation depends on our viewpoint, and without the whole perspective, we can easily misjudge.

With Qatar having an air force base in the U.S. they’ll be in the “Golden Dome”, it’ll be easier for them to plan an attack then it was on 9/11.

All it cost them was a $400 million dollar plane, great ROI for them.

ZERO reason for it other than a strike force against 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦!!

There isn’t a single Trump supporter who supports allowing #Qatar to have a military base on US soil, I don’t know who told Trump this was a good idea, but it has made people not want to vote.” said Loomer

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
