Trump claims drug traffickers are mass murdered a deliberately poisoning the American people & waging a kind of chemical war. He is freeing one of the people who did the most damage, because apparently he doesn’t really care. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

An official who orders or commits war crimes betrays the founding principle of the Republic, which is to make such authoritarian abuses impossible, by putting the rights of all above the whims of any power-holder. Republicans join Democrats in demanding answers. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/u...

More saber rattling. There are good reasons that the U.S. Constitution does not leave the decision on whether to go to war to the whims of one man.

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

Trump seems to be making one thing absolutely clear: He is opposed, more than anything, to the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

Iceland is right to consider this an existential threat. www.dagens.com/news/iceland...

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg orders the gov’t to provide declarations from every individual involved in the decision to allow planes to proceed on to El Salvador despite his order to turn them around last summer. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69741...

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

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.

The Trump admin is lying about people’s history & status to justify unlawful detention, denial of due process & overt cruelty. They are even doing it to people connected to the White House. Denying due process to ANYONE means is the groundwork for denying it to you. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ice...

This week, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency moved to abandon the national health-based limits on fine particulate matter, also known as soot. A move that scientists say could lead to dirtier air and more U.S. deaths.

The Trump administration’s sadistic campaign against immigrants is breaking up American citizens’ families, denying due process, ignoring the Bill of Rights & putting all Americans’ rights & freedoms at risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

In the United States, press freedom is a fundamental human right, which reinforces all other rights. No court has any lawful authority to aid Trump in his blatantly corrupt, criminal efforts to end press freedom.

The Treasury Secretary is offering “justifications” instead of action to support Americans’ everyday affordability needs. Meanwhile “A Fox News poll this month found that 76 percent of voters had a negative view of the economy under Mr. Trump” & 2/3 oppose tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/b...

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority. People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action. #ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social

With the current administration’s lawless dismantling of environmental and conservation protections, this could be a disaster for Minnesota.

Every single time this happens, it is a crime against the Constitution & against every person in the United States. No person in any part of government has any legal authority to participate in, condone, or further this evil.

Trump has zero lawful authority to “weaken” the Clean Air Act or the Clean Water Act. If he plans to change how they are enforced, he is required by the Constitution to demonstrably secure the rights of all Americans to actual clean air & water. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/c...

The Coast Guard reversed its 'swastikas aren't all that bad' policy just hours after the Washpost broke the story. It's both surprising, and good, to see that one government agency these days is capable of being embarrassed, and changing course quickly. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The First Amendment makes it unlawful to abridge the right to redress. The 10th Amendment gives states power to defend basic rights. Executive orders cannot alter or abridge fundamental Constitutional rights. The lust of AI companies for unfettered power cannot change that.

Next year, the U.S. will mark 250 years since the Declaration of Independence. Putin is committing war crimes in Ukraine, using terror & the menace of inhuman evil to break a free country. Trump’s pro-Putin “peace plan” is like surrendering to the tyrant George III. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/w...

There is no legitimate reason a federal agent could ever use to justify shooting journalists with chemical agents. No government action can lawfully restrict the freedom of the press to report independently on government actions.

New York City is installing barriers and elevating roads and sidewalks in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook to protect against flooding. Experts say the plan doesn’t go far enough in protecting against storms.

The President of the United States has zero authority to issue any unlawful or unconstitutional order. Members of Congress calling on all who might receive orders through the Executive branch to honor the Constitution are doing their job. POTUS threatening to execute them is abdicating his office.
