I've been thinking about this a lot... and there is something we have to recognize about the United States. It is an empire, many recognize that. But what makes the ideal of the United States special is that it is not meant to be an empire of land. It is intended that the People ARE the Empire. 1/

In many far-right circles, these pardoned criminals enjoy celebrity status, but to date, that hasn’t been enough to propel them to election victories.

Trump, who clearly feels he isn't getting enough attention this morning, lies that "the U.S.A. has total control over over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT! ... Praise be to Allah!" Completely demented.
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The U.S.A. has total control over over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT! Our Naval Blockade is being called, by everyone, “A WALL OF STEEL,” and there is nothing Iran can do about it. They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, their remaining soldiers are unpaid, the IRGC is decimated and fleeing, and their “Leadership” is uncertain, at best! They have No Money - Their country is “shot.” All they have is FAKE NEWS and 300% INFLATION, and getting worse! Iran is all talk and no action, the Bully of the Middle East No Longer. Praise be to Allah! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Today I heard the story of Bonnie the beagle mix who went missing from her home in 2022, was found by a man on his way to a dog show, posted to social media by her rescuer and also entered into the dog show… and won 3rd place before being reunited with her family. Look at her unrepentant face:
A beagle mix sits in dappled sunlight, wearing a bright yellow prize ribbon tied to her collar. She is mostly white with brown and black spots, and she is clearly very proud of herself.

The tragedy traces back to an ICE stop and deportation of Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz. A year later, amid acute struggle, his wife, Glendy, decided to "self-deport." Weeks after reuniting, the couple was found dead in a field. “If my brother hadn’t been deported…Both of them might still be alive.”

She followed ICE’s advice to self-deport. Five weeks later, she was dead.
A St. Louis mother took her three daughters to reunite with her deported husband in Guatemala. Neighbors found the couple bound and shot in a sugarcane field.
