Racial profiling and civil-rights violations — Many reactions stress that enforcement is not about criminal behavior but about race, language, or appearance. This creates a sense that anyone who “looks Latino” can be targeted. wapo.st/48WU4RW

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

The president targeting Somali Americans is not normal.
It is not defensible.
It is not “policy.”
It is racism with federal backing.
And we owe it to every community he’s singled out — past, present, and future — to shut this down NOW.

Dear Trump and Hague-seth,
If you pardon massive drug dealers.
And
You give cartel members US residency.
You DO NOT get to say that you are fighting a war on drugs.
And
Killing random people in boats is a war crime.
Hope this helps.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

🎁🔗 How far we’ve fallen from the days when folks were outraged at President Obama’s “coffee cup salute” to two Marines. We now have an incompetent SecDef reportedly ordering the killing of the survivors of the first strike in the Caribbean and joking about it with a meme.

Hegseth isn’t fit to lead — he’s a liability. A defense secretary who disregards legal norms, mocks serious accusations, and treats life-and-death decisions like a meme should not be in charge of the world’s most powerful military.

True security doesn’t come from unchecked militarism — it comes from accountability, diplomacy, and restraint. Transforming the Pentagon into a lethal authoritarian tool doesn’t protect us — it makes us enemies of justice and human dignity.
