The only way the world can be safe in the near term if is Trump is gone from office - because he’s overthrown through some mechanism or because he’s dead. He is a deranged madmen unfit along every imaginable dimension and he is surrounded by evil criminals who exploit him for malignant purposes.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
