I guarantee this never happened. No analyst was expected to spend half their day working on DEI issues. Good freaking grief.

Foreign tourists contributed $155 billion to the US economy last year. That sounds like a big deal to us. Trump is burning up American soft power at a rapid clip! gregdelawie.substack.com/p/hard-truth...

The US has already voted twice in the UN GA with Russia & its few allies (notably Belarus, North Korea & some military dictatorships in Africa) against the West not condemning Russia for its aggression against Ukraine. Even China & Iran abstained. /1

More on Trump's slashing the State Dept: reducing the US embassy in Ottawa down to 20! That would effectively paralyze consular services alone, resulting in a huge reduction in assisting the many US citizens residing there. politi.co/3GcuYmu

2002 documentary about the successful nonviolent movement that helped unseat Slobodan Milošević . Inspiring for many reasons, and instructive, in that it outlines what can be accomplished in the face of autocracy by creative and collaborative action. youtu.be/r7dNLt5mC1A?... But...

“The D.C. U.S. Attorney is not just any federal prosecutor—it is the post charged with some of the nation’s most sensitive prosecutions... Mr. Martin’s nomination threatens to compromise public trust and the integrity of these missions at a time when the rule of law is already under siege.”

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?
