I just want to note how deeply scary it is that we're learning about murdered survivors only because of a Washington Post article. Congress has been asleep at the wheel.

ICE is moving from illegal raids and brutality to ethic cleansing, just like any good Gestapo would do...

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

Trump just pardoned Anti-Women Rights Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Dem Leadership is making themselves complicit by endorsing blatant corruption. Cuellar was indicted in 2024 for taking 600k in bribes from a bank & from Azerbaijan, who ethnically cleansed over 100,000 Armenians last year.

We’re in a hell of a lot of trouble.

Hegseth absolutely did "stick around" for the second strike. He ordered it. A person sadistic personality disorder would never pass up that opportunity. Not in a million years.

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

None of these people should ever be accepted into civilized society ever again.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

The Trump regime is harassing black and brown immigrants – including U.S. citizens – to get them to leave the country. The racists have changed costumes and methods: Instead of men in bedsheets burning crosses, it's masked thugs smashing car windows, zip-tying kids and tear-gassing neighborhoods.

We now have a Population Control Police statement claiming: “She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there." She shouldn't have to! We don't live in a police state. We desperately need to give these people new employment.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Where's the 24-7 coverage on Trump's declining health, inability to stay awake DURING TELEVISED events, cankles, two MRIs, and lack of stamina? Where's Jake Tapper? NYT? Fox? Corporate Media?

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Goodnight

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder. We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

So am I.

Hundreds of millions. Wow, that's a lot. That's more than have died in every single war combined in the entire world since 1900.

Remember the part in the old Peter Pan play where Peter tells the boys and girls in the audience that if they all just clap harder they can save Tinkerbell? That's what Trump's Cabinet Meeting reminded me of. A bunch of children wildly applauding him, all in an effort to bring him back to life.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

the president says absolutely crazy stuff all the time on social media and it doesn't make headlines because everyone paying attention knows he's nuts

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

Just a reminder that the flack doing this Pentagon presser for the Mos Eisley crowd (because DoD booted the legit journos) is a frothing bigot. www.npr.org/2025/03/06/n...

Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.

Now juxtapose Hegseth's vile little cartoon with this line from the Post report on the latest horror: "If the video of the blast that killed the two survivors on Sept. 2 were made public, people would be horrified, said one person who watched the live feed."

The Trump admin is selling off public art that documents our history and heritage and was paid with our tax dollars. It belongs to the people. Where is the money going? #art #painting #murals #Americanartists #history #arthistory #publicart #heritage #americana www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

"That's right—three." Herblock's cartoon of Uncle Sam having to teach Congress about the balance of powers, after the Brown v Board decision and during Senator McCarthy's anti-communist crusade, May 1954.

Entire Chain of Command Could Be Held Liable for Killing Boat Strike Survivors, Sources Say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s actions could spark investigations for war crimes or outright murder, sources told The Intercept. theintercept.com/2025/12/02/h...

One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before. It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it. Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

“18.3.2.1”. They understand this keenly as the UCMJ used the act of murdering survivors of a shipwreck as its example of an act so well understood to be a abhorrent that its inclusion was a illustration of the hideously wrong. Hegseth’s act is as sickening as this illustration b/c it is that act.

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

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.

"a country she said she had never been to...." www.nbcwashington.com/investigatio...

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020. Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

“FBI Special Agents are told to meet up with ICE agents three days a week in parking lots and drive around looking for illegal aliens…(some) are demoralized, angry, and frustrated because they…believe people were being detained and arrested without warrants.”

I looked Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon dead in the eye and asked, “Do you think you can shut down the Department of Education?” She said, “No, I don’t have the legal authority to do that.” Yet here we are. Linda McMahon should resign.

Why didn't the Seattle Times identify this op/ed writer as Republican Reagan Dunn's former chief of staff and a longtime Republican operative? Do they not want people to know that this audit was a partisan endeavor? www.seattletimes.com/opinion/new-...

No American leader goes to prison for war crimes and we should stop feeding fantasies that it will happen.
