The rape and rot of graft and stealth and lies

The land the mines the plants the rivers
The mountains and the endless plain
All, all the stretch of these great green states

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

But this "I love Hitler" group chat leak, with horrific racial, gender based, etc., slurs, draws silence from the Right. One of it's participants is employed in the Trump regime. Silence.
