“A draft of the 2025 Global Trends report was carefully reviewed by D.N.I. Gabbard’s team and found to violate professional analytic tradecraft standards in an effort to propagate a political agenda that ran counter to all of the current president’s national security priorities.” In other words: 2 + 2 = 5.
Truth is the first casualty of war…the corollary to that is data and facts are the first casualty of authoritarian power grabs. We cannot be silent on the threats. We the people cannot be buried in some fantasy reality that will leave us all exposed and unprepared individually and collectively. It is impossible to prepare for a major threat if it is ignored as if it does not exist.
I noticed your use of the word "sadism." I think that's the first time I've heard it used about dt and his regime. It's perfectly appropriate. I will add it to my usual list of words as I rage about what the regime is doing to us.
As each day is reborn, I wonder what fresh hell we’re going to encounter from Trump. Try as I might to see the world from the perspective of this madman, I cannot, although a voice in the back of my mind says I may have to practice doing so if his “Big Brother” regime takes over every aspect of our lives. He’s a dictator in a hurry, as we all know. Time is on his side.
We are tasked now with both seeing our story while driving in the present as if it is already in the rear view mirror and acting accordingly. When we speak out, we win. When we remain silent, we lose another piece of our democratic values. The solution to our dilemma is in the hands and hearts of each of us. If we value free speech, we have to speak out “without fear or favor.” We may not be lawyers, but we can all stand up for the rule of law by speaking truth to power whenever and wherever we can. It’s still a free country and as long as we have breath we can save it.
he's the little boy screaming "the sky is falling" empty, pathetic but hurting and killing people... Thanks to you 6 supremes ... 330,000,000 people are dying, starving under your decisions to crown trump... what are you seriously afraid of that you must turn your backs on the constitution? Epstein? Pay offs?
Could it be that Trump’s buildup of military assets in the Caribbean and his meeting with all the top military leaders would be to take over the Panama Canal and/or Greenland?

Thank you for this thoughtful post.
With every pronouncement by Trump about dangerous cities, not one resident of these cities has confirmed or acknowledged his false statements.
We must not allow him to bring us to riots. He is baiting people hoping to have a reason to escalate military rule.
Ignore this man, that’s what makes him crazy. Peaceful protest!
