Well Canada, The Netherlands and the UK have stopped sharing Caribbean intelligence with the US, so I guess they believe that killing civilians without due process is kind of against International law

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Trump lives in his own delusion.
He spouts numbers as impossible as they are specific: He will “drive down drug prices by 1,500%…” 🤦🏽♀️
Gas prices fell to “$1.99 in 5 states” but per AAA, it’s over $3 in every state.
Businesses had “invested $16 trillion” in 4 months” but.. 1/3

Trump’s imaginary numbers, from $1.99 gas to 1,500 percent price cuts
The president likes to cite specific numbers to bolster his claims. They are often wildly improbable — or just impossible.

Trump administration is using the disinformation trick of swapping substance for process. No one here “supports” violent Venezuelan gang members. The issue is about complying with the law. Were they all gang members? Were they non-citizens? Who knows?

Vandalizing the home of a university official is not peaceful protest. It is a crime. It also sets back the cause for which the perpetrators are advocating.

A domestically produced, 1000 km range cruise missile is a big deal.
Ukraine is also expanding their domestic FPV drone capability.
The more Ukraine can produce on their own, the less the whims of the United States will impact their ability to defend themselves.

Ukraine has deployed a variant of its domestically-designed and produced cruise missile known as “Long Neptune.” It can make precise strikes at a range of 1000 kilometres.
Ukrainian defenders probably used “Long Neptune” to hit the Tuapse oil terminal in the Russian Federation.

And when have they ever gotten something like this wrong….
We don’t if they were gang members, only that Trump’s DOJ says they were. But they’ve had no trials. They are “accused.” They are “alleged” to be members of a gang that Trump has named. And now they are vanished.
This is an actual nightmare and we should be up in arms.

250 Venezuelans have been disappeared into one of the worst prisons in Central America based on Trump’s invocation of a law only used 3 times in our history - the last time resulted in the Japanese-American internment. These men have had no due process. It’s monstrous.
