⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

The big new @pewresearch.org poll found Trump’s approval down to 37%, a number shrinking ever-closer to his hard-core quarter-of-America cult, those who still “support all or most of Trump’s policies” (27%), still say he “respects US democratic values” (25%) and “acts ethically in office” (21%).

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Yesterday, they chose a new engineering firm.

The Supreme Court looked at the birthright citizenship litigation and said, “You know what the real threat to our constitutional order is? Federal district court judges.” newrepublic.com/article/1973...
The Supreme Court Just Gave Trump the Green Light to Do His Worst
The conservative justices’ ruling in the birthright citizenship case unshackles the president from lower-court rulings that curbed his unconstitutional abuses of power.

This Supreme Court ruling requires public schools to allow parents to opt their children out of lessons that don't align with their families' religious beliefs.

This will harm teachers' ability to foster inclusive, welcoming educational experiences reflective of the diverse communities they serve.

Ironically, this is Big Pharma's wet dream. Rather than a preventative vaccine that costs a few dollars a dose twice a lifetime, they can sell expensive new in-patent drugs for hundreds a dose that you need to keep taking.
