Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

The more facts that come out about the "double tap" boat strike, the more reprehensible Trump's fake "war" appears. Based on a raft of legal fictions, the Navy apparently deemed two guys floating on the wreck of a capsized speedboat to be in active combat with the US, and killed them in cold blood.
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.
