I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

The footage of this shooting confirms this headline is untrue. It is yet another No*m & T*ump lie that should get zero oxygen. Yet millions of people across Massachusetts are going to open @wbur.org and think ICE was acting in self-defense rather than what they did: kill an innocent bystander.

A federal agent shot and killed a Minneapolis motorist when she allegedly tried to run over law enforcement officers during an immigration crackdown in the city, authorities said Wednesday.

This was always the plan — normalize extrajudicial killings internationally and then introduce it domestically. This is the domestic extension of the boat attack doctrine and a foundational building block of fascism.
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

That’s what he’s trying to normalize in the Caribbean. He’s utterly seduced by the ability to smite anyone he feels like Zeus throwing lightning bolts from heaven. If he’s allowed to murder without evidence or consequences internationally, he will try to normalize it domestically.
Here’s the statement I gave this morning at a coalition press briefing about Trump’s illegal attack on the Venezuelan boat and his normalization of summary execution. He wants to be the vengeful god of the Old Testament who can smite his enemies at will. Thanks to Amnesty International for hosting.

The plan is and always has been to incite widespread protests so that they can invoke the Insurrection Act.

If they have to kill a few Americans to do it, that is a price they are willing to pay.

We're doing acts of war beacuse Pete Hegseth wants to kill ppl and look cool doing it, because Stephen Miller wants chaos and war to legitimate authoritarian crackdowns at home, and because Marco Rubio wants to knock over some leftists in Latin America just because.

For everything else about Trump, it's remarkable how similar his natsec process is to George W. Bush.

It's seemingly almost entirely driven by an insular and small group of people with pathological fixations on working informally to steer all American policy toward their decades-long grievances.

Can’t help but think some people would love for this to all be about journalism standards and best practices and not, say, the rendition of human beings to some medieval dungeon without due process.

When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.
