The importance of Phraseology

To describe the abuse of ICE goons and any potential use of the military on the American people, the term "Crimes Against the American People" should be used to describe what Trump, Miller, Noem, Homan, and others are doing.

It's accurate and evokes the notion of war crimes and crimes against humanity. If only all Democrats would echo the exact wording throughout all media, it would stick.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
