If Trump can order the murder of people on boats without any accountability, he can order the murder of people on land without any accountability.

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.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

Hamas leadership just announced they killed 27 people in broad daylight because—wait, my mistake.

Trump announces he's drone killed 27 Venezuelans on boats, claiming without evidence that they were "narcoterrorists," & refusing to answer what gives him authority.

He WILL deploy this on US citizens

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Trump says "we will disarm Hamas and it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently. But they will disarm, do you understand me?!" The he claims he personally spoke to them.

US President wouldn't be able to speak to Hamas "personally", if you believe this, you may as well believe anything

News outlets are right to not play along with the Defense Department directive that tries to force reporters to only publish information officially authorized by the department.

This is government censorship, plain and simple.

Media outlets, including Fox News and CNN, refuse to sign Pentagon's press access rules | CNN Business

The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign.
