Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.

Spending 41 minutes deliberating and then deciding to kill two men clinging to the debris of their boat is nothing more or less than premeditated murder.
There is no rationale that justifies this. There is no magic sequence of words or arguments that excuses it.

If only we hadn't diverted so much of our law enforcement resources to throwing non-WASPs into the backs of unmarked vans, holding them in concentration camps, and renditioning them to third countries known for rampant human rights abuses.
So twice they've now claimed they caught the shooter only to backtrack and say they had the wrong person? Twice?

It's not good enough to say Trump is heading toward fascism. It's not good enough to say it seems like he might become dictatorial.
The media--& the public--needs to tell the truth & do so without mealy-mouthed rhetoric.

It’s well past time for the news industry to warn the public about a huge threat to their safety.
That threat is Trump amassing dictatorial power.
Don't just give us pieces of the puzzle. Give us the big picture.
