This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone and not criminal suspects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

Wow. If we had an FBI, they could investigate and prosecute these incels.

Cant believe this is what they are focusing on, when they aren’t even able to keep the government open.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Why reduce the fine?? They could x1000000 it and Musk still wouldn’t care or change his business practices. Cost of business and probably tax deductible.

Murderers. The military is complicit and they must stop if they have a conscience. They are violating their oath.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

There’s been an active cover-up since the mid-2000s to conceal the Epstein Files.

The damning info from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s investigation & report into allegations of professional misconduct by the federal prosecutors, including Alex Acosta.

Most of us revile him. Do not lump us all into one group.

And the GOP is openly embracing it. We need tougher laws with punishments. And let’s get rid of that pardon thing.

ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.

Starting salary for ICE (Hired J6 thugs, PB’s etc.) $100,000 with a $50,000 sign on bonus.

That’s our money paying for government sanctioned abductions, kidnappings, imprisonment & forced servitude with 0 Due Process

This is wrong & we all know it!

Our Military must act.

Start taking down ICE.
