At the musee d’Armee yesterday and saw the WW section and it was chilling. Parallels between then and now are eerie. For example, dehumanization, deportation and use of propaganda were main tools used, not violent repression and they are happening in us now; violent repression came after

WALZ: “.. Donald Trump’s calling our Somali neighbors ‘garbage’ and calling the state of Minnesota a ‘hellhole’. I’m assuming it’s unprecedented for a United States President. .. We’ve got little children going to school today, their president called them ‘garbage’.”

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker.
He attacks veterans while committing treason.

I don’t normally read the comments, but these ones give me hope. I know we are all seeing a lot of hate toward our Somali friends and neighbors, but I wanted to share these.
I hope they bring a smile to your face like they did mine.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.

I think a lot of people still aren't used to the idea of a federal government that lies openly, nakedly and as a matter of course.

We are at a weird place where the president is openly and publicly acting unhinged, and most of his lunacy is not being shared with the American public by mainstream news; it’s time to talk openly to people in your life about what’s happening

It’s their job to get this under control and our right to hold them accountable.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I honestly think the current news cycle is being driven by nonstop attitude of trolling
e.g., it would be so funny if we pardoned a huge drug trafficker at the same time as we are murdering the fishermen who might be transporting cocaine
It’s so not ok
