The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Ok, I promise this account isn’t going to turn into just a @ifbookspod.bsky.social fan account (probably), but just finished the 7-part, 12-hr takedown of Pinker’s “Better Angels of Our Nature,” and (💯 sincere) am probably going to assign it to my Data for Lawyers students next semester.

Trump not knowing who he pardoned, if he pardoned them, or that they are a crypto CEO who just gave his family a $2 billion deal and then received a pardon, is a way bigger controversy than Biden and an autopen.

Of much less significance than the murder described here is the surety that Hegseth is in an absolute mania trying to figure out how he can water board his subordinates to find out who ratted him out.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Stephen Miller's racism is the through line of the Trump administrations.

Consider all of the administration officials who have come and gone, been fired, etc. Stephen Miller survived that entire 9 years with Trump.

Because his racism and bigotry is the fundamental selling point of MAGA.

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

This rhetoric is indistinguishable from the stuff you hear coming out of white nationalists. Completely identical language.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

This is the latest incident of Trump turning tragedy into self-love. Off the top of my head, prior examples include his 2017 visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture and of course 9/11:

The Guardsmen were abused by their President, sent as a purposeful provocation to an entire city, trying their best to follow orders that were wrong and legally questionable. There were two goals of this operation:

1) Provide video for propaganda media
2) Provoke violence to be used for escalation

The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.

In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?
