Let’s be clear about some things:
The United States should be regarded as a rogue nation at this point. The only goal is more power and wealth for Donald Trump.
He’s a bully, and he has two of the biggest sticks in the world: the US military and the US economy. Using them as weapons is going to damage them.
The job and funding cuts combined with the tariffs and unpredictability seem likely to cause a recession.
The pogrom against trans people has started in the form of rule changes that outlaw their existence.
The pogrom against non-white people has started in the form of immigration raids, and the preparation of Guantánamo Bay to become a concentration camp. We all know this is about race, not citizenship.
“Pogrom” is a strong word, but, I fear, the correct one.
