"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"
Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

On May 16, a deadly tornado damaged 16,000 structures and killed five residents in St. Louis, Missouri.

Trump has yet to send federal aid to rebuild there.

If anyone affected by the St. Louis tornado needs help with a possible pending tax foreclosure, the Collector’s office is available to help. They are also aware of the many phone challenges and are okay with having a volunteer delegate call on their behalf.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."

Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

The idea that race wasn’t centered in museums/zoos previously is laughable, living African people were put on display in zoos to show how primitive they were and white skulls were displayed as the pinnacle of evolution. But of course, this new EO is about trying to return to those before times.
There are many wild things in Trump's EO about History but one that especially caught my eye was the complaint that the American Art Museum promoted the view that "race is not a biological reality." It's not! That's a true statement! The idea that race is biological was the foundation of racism!
