There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

This is incontrovertible. There is no law, none, that can sanction what Trump is doing. Extrajudicial execution is murder, straight up.

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

This is absolutely insane. How is a POTUS involved in this? Seriously, something is wrong with this man's head: www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

Fair question. And what happens when actual government is restored? It is a complete clusterfuck.

At some point, this stops being funny and starts being heartbreaking. Because what we’re watching isn’t just hypocrisy it’s the death of fairness itself. Millions of kids work their way through college, juggle jobs, drown in debt, and still can’t get their foot in the door.

We now apparently do. It is almost funny that AZ fought this off with Arpaio, but here we are writ large with Trump. I know there are a ton of Arizonans that understand.
