23 people have died in immigration detention this year under the Trump administration, and #ICE seems to be lying about the circumstances.
They told Congress that Chaofeng Ge died by suicide, but he was found with his hands and feet tied. That simply doesn’t add up.

Sen. Chris Murphy: “It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
The Admin has likely committed war crimes.
But the entire operation—which now includes two dozen attacks—is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.”

A leaked Justice Department memo shows Pam Bondi has directed the FBI to create a list of Americans deemed potential “domestic extremists.” It includes those with “opposition to immigration enforcement,” or “radical gender ideology,” & expands tip lines, surveillance & cash rewards.

#Trump is aiming our ship of state only at interests that serve his avarice. He’s like a pirate pillaging & plundering all that he can before he is stopped; at this point he knows his only real guardrails are perhaps going to be delivered by nature itself.

Putin publicly praised the newly released U.S. National Security Strategy, saying it “perfectly aligns” with the Kremlin’s worldview.
The document is a statement of intent to destabilize the EU, limit the expansion of NATO & support far-right political movements in Europe.

Trump’s a.m. meltdown was an admission of a pay-for-pardon bribery scheme gone wrong. Trump raged that Dem TX Rep Henry Cuellar, indicted for corruption charges & recently pardoned by Trump, refused to switch parties as a thank you. Trump: “Such a lack of LOYALTY.”

When the strategy describes its ideal citizenry as “gainfully employed” with “no one sitting on the sidelines”, one wonders whether the authors realize they’re describing a labor camp, not a constitutional republic.

In plain terms the policy states that the U.S. now intends to support #far-right movements inside Europe with the explicit aim of weakening the European Union. Let me be clear: the #MAGA goal right now is to end ties with the EU, and instead embrace #autocratic nations like #Russia.

What are these ideas that can be directly linked to terrorism? The list includes “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Christianity,” “extremism on migration, race & gender,” & opposition to “traditional American views on family, religion & morality.”

Anyone who holds virtually any vaguely left-of-center political views is now considered a target for federal prosecution. Simply holding a protest sign or posting on Facebook could be enough to get a knock on the door from the FBI.

Trump unveiled a National Security Strategy this week that replaces America’s commitment to democracy with a new policy of “cash over conscience.” Gone is the pretense that the U.S. stands for freedom or human rights; in its place are strongmen, minerals & sole-source contracts.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.
