Now why would fascists ever want a list of firearms owners? 🧐

Dear journalists, if your source for "credible intelligence" that conveniently advances a Trump administration narrative is someone within the Trump administration, consider seeking independent confirmation before deeming it, in fact, credible.

One of my gravest concerns about putting a man like Donald Trump at the head of the party was the example it set for young people. Mission accomplished, it appears.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

"State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott condemned China’s 'ramming and water cannoning' of a Philippine vessel."

Wait, are illegal attacks on boats a bad thing now?

I'm trying to keep track.

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 15h

The U.S. says that it stands by its Philippine ally and emphasized their mutual defense treaty after vessels from China and the Philippines clashed amid heightened tensions in the disputed South China Sea.

U.S. backs Philippine ally after China warns over vessel clash

Earlier, Beijing urged Manila not to challenge its efforts to “safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests” after Sunday’s incident in the Spratly Islands.

Neither is it a question of deporting only the undocumented, since ICE is snatching immigrants of every status.

Trump never does anything without something to gain personally. I’m waiting to see what it is.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Real ID is suppose to be that way, isn’t it? I mean, you have to have multiple forms of identification including a birth certificate to get it. But ICE is routinely treating it as “fake”.
