Legal Issues Raised by a Lethal U.S. Military Attack in the Caribbean The Trump administration’s extraordinary lethal attack on this purported smuggling vessel raises significant potential legal issues.

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.

Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

ICE is really going all-out to attract its core demographic of potential recruits.

Remember ,Trump did nothing to protect the Capitol police .

He watched on TV as they were beaten, bear sprayed and tased.

Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Unlawful 'orders' are just _*that*_: UNLAWFUL. To any and all National Guard, Reservists, and/or Active Duty military men & women: If you have questions, if you seek support, if you're concerned about whether something is lawful or not: Call the GI Rights hotline: (877) 447-4487.

Donnie, be Van Gone.

We’re gonna need some new nicknames for Donald. Any suggestions?

Why is this an either/or and not like average voter imbues these positions with the same/depth of significance that 100 podcasters do

While Trump is slashing Medicare, garnishing wages for student loans, and denying FEMA aid to states that voted for him…

He’s also:

• Charging $1M to join Mar-a-Lago
• Hosting $1M-a-plate crypto dinners
• Pocketing $394M from his meme coin
• Turning his golf clubs into luxury pay-to-play scams

HARVARD PROF David Armitage: “We’re being made an example of by Trump — authoritarians across the world go for the universities first, because they’re set up for freedom of thought and provide critical opposition.”

Trump’s Approval Rating Plummets in Just About Every Category America is fed up with Donald Trump.

Trump wants to run the USA like a corporation? Let’s add a corporate mechanism, a vote of no confidence, used to oust poor-performing CEOs. Trump’s approval rating is at an all-time low. He deserves to be removed. It won’t happen because our system is effed up

How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

Using a chainsaw to chop a program that Americans pay into from their 1st job to their last is turning out like a reckless teen prank.

What DOGE did do is create chaos, fear, delay, and an irreversible brain drain that will prove EXPENSIVE!

No one is laughing.

“We’re like passengers on the Titanic insisting our ship can’t sink,” says Yale historian Marci Shore.

She, Timothy Snyder & Jason Stanley—experts on fascism & authoritarianism—are fleeing to Canada.

When they say democracy’s in danger, believe them. America is not unsinkable.

This is the best description I’ve seen:

Are you aware of this?
I sure wasn’t
