If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

new hubble image to cleanse the timeline ✨
The image holds a planetary nebula, a glowing shell of material thrown off by a dying star. A glowing, jagged ring encircles a small central region of greenish clouds, making it appear like a hole torn in fabric. This “hole” is itself encircled by a band of silvery-blue clouds and a larger, fainter, yellow ring of gas. Puffy, smoky clouds of orange and red gas billow out from there into a large oval nebula, fading into the dark background of space dotted by stars.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.
