Not much?! By practically every key measure of hard and soft power Trump’s mindless war has drastically damaged the US and the global economy, and by many key measures strengthened and hardened Iran — while creating major new problems that remain without any solid prospect of positive resolution.

Target is HQ’d in MN & lost 35% of its value after it capitulated to Trump & gutted DEI—a $16B loss. Now, as ICE murders Good & Pretti, as ICE arrests 2 Target employees (who were citizens)—Target does NOTHING to stop ICE. Let’s continue our Target boycott & gut the remaining 65% value. Who’s in?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.
