After two month’s of what would be the end of any other administration’s scandals, the one that seems to have stuck is Pete Hegseth communicating war crimes through insecure channels. The war crimes themselves are the same stuff we’ve been doing for a quarter century, but the Department of Defense at least tried to wait a while before letting the media know about it.

Hegseth was grossly unqualified from the get-go, and his boozy stink should be on every senator who voted to confirm him, or anyone in this fascist cabinet. Another thing this leak illustrates is how little Trump is involved in his own administration. These goons are free to do whatever freak shit they want while the demented president golfs or watches TV.

Department of Failed State Travel Advisories

We’re just two months into this administration and the horrors at the border and within continue to escalate. Tourists from close allies are getting sent to the gulags we’ve previously reserved for refugees who are desperate to get here to seek asylum. Residents with green cards or visas are getting arrested, detained, and even deported for their speech. And others are being rounded up without due process and sent to slave labor camps in El Salvador.

This is not a great environment for jokes. My mind keeps going to the fact that all that separates myself from these current victims is my tacky little U.S. passport. Any CBP or ICE thug can take it and instantly render me and anyone they don’t like a stateless individual with no rights.

I don’t have plans (or the budget) for international travel any time soon, but I don’t have to go anywhere for them to claim jurisdiction over me or two thirds of the population. The War on Terror has come home, we’re all the targets, and if you can’t call it fascism, you won’t until you’re the one getting stripped and hosed down in a cage.

The last thing people in Maine* want is someone from Massachusetts telling them what to do. But maybe they’ll follow their New Hampshire neighbors’ lead and stop sending Republicans to Congress.

*Becoming a state as a result of the Missouri Compromise which prolonged slavery, Maine is still rightfully part of Massachusetts, no matter what those potato and toilet paper farmers say.

The regular cops are still wilding out, and adding the Republicans’ secret police to the mix right as pandemic relief expires is a recipe for (even more) disaster. Oh, and Democrats also voted to keep the Afghanistan War going on to its third decade. Fun week!
