Killing civilians on international water is terrorism.

The USA is a terrorist state.

Donald Trump is a terrorist.

This is an international crime. Killing people he suspects have drugs on board. There is no US law that allows for killing of drug dealers that have not even been accused in court or given a trial. Drug dealers are not terrorists. The Trump govt is the terrorist.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

The complete destruction, to make it unlivable was the plan. Now Jared can start his condos by the ocean vision. Trump's plan is about greed not peace.

Seriously. A guy who lost his 20 year seat, had to go to a very Conservative riding to get his job back. A guy who has never been a part of the working class, claiming to represent them. Whatever.

Good that the US President has so much spare time he can attack magazine pictures of himself he doesn't like....

The Volatile Mermaid @ohnoshetwitnt.bsky.social · 23h

Imagine if a woman president went off about every picture of herself she didn’t like. “Hysterical.” “Emotional.” “PMSing.” “Petty bitch.”

Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'"
Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

The same goes for SK. The Saskparty is undermining our public education system while supporting Christian schools that don't follow the curriculum or have qualified teachers. This is bad for the future of SK economy. No one wants to hire idiots.

Ximena González @ximenaka.bsky.social · 1d

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.

MAGA’s Project 2025 has become a blueprint for undermining Canada’s schools in the name of profit and privilege.

It’s genuinely alarming that the official DHS account is talking like this. This isn’t a parody account, it’s a federal agency using the tone of an online teenage bully to respond to fair public criticism.

He is selling his invasion of US cities as "tough on crime." He doesn't care about crime, just an excuse to tred on the Constitutional rights of citizens.

Trump in Egypt: "This country is doing very well. It has good leadership. It's nice when you say, 'How is your crime situation?' and they don't even know what you're talking about. Because if he has crime he puts it out very quickly. Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great."

Is she completely unaware of the US history in the Americas? They will kill her and her people in Trump's made up war against narcoterrorists. Maybe a nice military General can take over!
