war on drugs 🤝 war on terror
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed.
There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea.
Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Universities must prepare for this, and refuse to operate on the basis of fear rather than legal necessity or moral principle.
