I concur. If these reports are accurate, the military is being used for purposes well outside of even the scope of the President's own memo. This is not only illegal--it "threatens to turn the country into a police state." www.justsecurity.org/115545/feder...

If Covid was truly societally normalised now - 'just another respiratory virus', to use the common phrase - people wouldn't avoid using the word 'Covid'. The fact the word 'Covid' is taboo in many circles speaks volumes about just how much the disease has not been normalised.

The Heritage Foundation & The Israel Lobby are the same team w/ the same players, Evangelical Christians. Christian Zionism is fundamentally and explicitly antisemitic. These are the people calling protests "pro-Hamas." It's good to see people speaking up about this & others starting to listen.

One of the real threats a Mamdani mayorship represents is filling New York city bureaucracy with socialists and inspiring hundreds of thousands of people across the country to use the same model. And those people gaining "real" experience they can build on far after his mayorship ends.
