Ah well, nevertheless, standing up to Trump doesn't work so we might as well cave and welcome our authoritarian overlords.

Bombing boats and killing people is blatantly illegal, even if those people were smuggling drugs. The label "narco-terrorists" is a predictable attempt to further expand a category ("terrorists") that has allowed stripping persons of rights and applying a military logic.

Trump says boat crews are narco-terrorists. The truth is more nuanced, AP finds
In interviews in villages on Venezuela's northeastern coast, from which some of the boats departed, residents and relatives said the dead men had been running drugs but were not narco-terrorists.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero indictments.
