Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.
Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist.
The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.”
The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.
