'We, the People' need to #DefendJournalism--and defend our right to know, as the Constitutional Sovereign--against these authoritarian attacks by the #TurdReich's #InjusticeDepartment.

End the #ICEtapo. Cancel the #TurdReich. #DefendJournalism.

I fear that the authors (/publisher/editor) of the evidence that the US government is actively engaging in war crime [and appears poised to wildly escalate based on the crime which is itself based on a transparent lie] may be in jeopardy, or that the publisher will retract the Truth or, worst & most likely, that they will all cave to the warcriminals.
