WSJ: β€œA WSJ investigation tracked U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive government campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.”

All I can think about on International Women's Day is how those 150+ young girls killed in the Iran school airstrike might have benefited from a future without the Iranian regime had they not been victims of Trump's war.

An unconscionable atrocity.

We must demand transparency and accountability.

What an honor to walk on this hallowed ground in Selma with some of the civil rights foot soldiers who marched here 61 years ago on #BloodySunday. We have so much to learn from the the moral power, and the physical courage, of the marchers who faced down Jim Crow on that day.

Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered.
We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.

And where is Trump?

Golfing.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Bloody Sunday Today marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965.

We used to be a country that could summon outrage and turn it into courage. Now, MAGA watches Trump bomb a girls’ school in Iran and lie about it. Here are some ideas about what we need to do about it. joycevance.substack.com/p/bloody-sun...

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.
