Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Dear Senator Kaine,
This is a slap in the face to highly educated, highly trained citizens who earned & deserve the title professional. It makes it difficult for students to get loans causing more shortages in these areas. Please see what can be done to reverse this. Thank you

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder.

"the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

Trump's Ukraine "peace" plan is a profit scheme: let Russia keep stolen territory, rebuild for U.S. gain. That's not defending democracy-it's selling it off.

What really #matters
in a world where
nothing seems to matter
anymore?

How many times
do we have to rebuild
what we've destroyed
before we leave it alone?

What matters
is that you matter
even when
you think you don't.

What matters
are hands that hold
arms that hug
and hearts that love.

Forecast on my local weather app says rain and snow mix for next Fri. The same app on my husband's phone says sunny. Go figure. Perhaps I'll just wait until Thurs and see if the cows are lying down or standing.😅

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.
