How a revered institution of investigative journalism gets turned into a propaganda arm of the state (gift link to the NYT article lower in the 🧵).

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Sickening. Anyone in their right mind in Texas needs to get out while they can.
The Texas GOP orders that the TurningPoint USA Trump youth organization will be obligatory at all high schools and colleges in the Lone Star State.
Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools
Republican officials in Oklahoma and Florida have also launched plans to expand the presence of the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk.

Trump's National Security Strategy envisions sustaining American power by removing brown people and women from positions of power, sustaining a failed trade war, and dictating what Europe should be.
