If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

Pure, unmitigated hate.

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

saw what the piece of shit president said about somalians today and anyone not calling him an outright racist is complicit

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Think about the edge students in High School + College: can gain by NOT using AI to write their essays. Use it for background research, then write the essay yourself (If you want a better grade, rewrite that essay 2X-4X yourself) ofdollarsanddata.com/there-is-no-...

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Attacks on VPNs are attacks on digital privacy and digital freedom. And that battle is being fought by people who clearly have no idea how any of this technology actually works. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order, according to her attorney. https://cnn.it/4oqqiJU

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Heinz-Wilhelm Eck might have something to say about this one. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

Gift link. The administration has committed ten billion dollars of our money with no discernible process or due diligence. An ex-official: “You know, he meets with somebody, he likes them and so, well, let’s do a deal.”” I keep asking myself: what happened to the appropriations clause?

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

The White House doesn’t offer a plausible legal rationale because the orders are illegal. Various lawyers wouldn’t sign off on it because the orders are illegal. Trump flipped out at veterans saying don’t follow illegal orders because he’s giving illegal orders. Real Occam’s razor situation here.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago. She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media. All charges against her have been dropped. In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

ICE goons entered a woman’s home without a warrant, guns out, terrorizing her and her two children. The man they were looking for didn’t live at the house. www.fox5ny.com/news/ice-rai...

“A week before he voted to significantly cut Medicaid, Rep. Rob Bresnahan dumped six figures’ worth of stock in a quartet of companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country, according to public disclosure documents reviewed by NBC News.”

After unprecedented autism-vaccine messaging change, scientists, CDC no longer trustworthy www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va... @pauloffit.bsky.social: CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories." "...a tragic day for public health."

Dear U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, I would like to report a public death threat made on social media against numerous members of Congress by a DC resident. Given your zero tolerance policy for such conduct, I trust that you will promptly investigate and prosecute this perpetrator.

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

Commentator and journalist @salhachimi.bsky.social recounted his arrest and illegal 18-day detention by ICE at an FPF event this week. "If the American public finds out the realities of what's happening, ICE will be dismantled in an instant," he said. Watch more:

unreal

I don’t know if a president vowing to send the military after has political opponents meets the legal threshold for treason, but it comes a hell of a lot closer than saying that if so ordered, the military should refuse.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

President Trump accused half a dozen Democratic lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH” after the lawmakers — all veterans of the armed services and intelligence community — called on U.S. military members to uphold the constitution and defy “illegal orders.” https://to.pbs.org/4r5aZZH

Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

🔴 Scolding a U.S. reporter for asking questions about MBS ordering a fellow journalist to be bonesawed to death signals to dictators everywhere that they can murder journalists with impunity. Read our full statement below:

New from 404 Media: IRS accessed a massive database of Americans flights without a warrant. Shows where and when someone flew, the credit card used. Hundreds of millions records; the airlines sell this data to the government through a broker they own www.404media.co/irs-accessed...

“Things happen.” Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate. Shameful. So shameful.
