ICE’s gross abuse of power is out of control.
What happened to Rep. Grijalva while exercising lawful oversight is outrageous and unacceptable.
When are House Republicans going to finally exercise their oversight duty and rein in this lawlessness?

There is nothing radical in my ideas presented based on facts to counter extreme fascist governance that has taken hold in the U.S.
The radicalization is by a corrupt American Fascist party in bed with ideologically extreme tech oligarchs who have embedded into our government. Just be very aware.

If Crenshaw meant “we reassess threat and may re‑engage lawful targets,” he could have said that. Instead he offered a blanket “of course we kill them” about survivors. Coming from a trained officer, that sounds less like a misstatement and more like a public shrug at war‑crimes.

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before
but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”
