Trump proposal to repatriate Ukrainians, Haitians would use foreign aid funds I think the people in the administration wake up every day and say, “What cruel thing can can I do that will make people’s lives miserable.” I truly cannot put myself in their place to try to think like they are thinking.

The Alien Enemies Act is a notorious law last used during World War II to intern Japanese, German, and Italian nationals. It was used to deport individuals who are allegedly part of a Venezuelan gang. In addition at least two individuals have been incarcerated for speaking in favor of Hamas.

Wind storms and hurricanes will flip air planes and destroy infrastructure. Higher temperatures make it harder to fly airplanes and for warriors to move across a battlefield loaded down with over 40 lbs of equipment. The US won’t have the best fighting force in the world if it ignores climate change
