One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

Sad. Man convicted of "harassment" and "stalking" in Missouri for public posts on social media and posting flyers around town criticizing local police officer. Judge and jury ignore First Amendment. @thefireorg.bsky.social

This is crazy. New judge seeks to go above sentencing guidelines to send a message about immigration policy, as he sees it.

The only thing missing from this headline: "So Far" www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is the same whining that we hear constantly from Trump, et al. Oh, the suffering they’ve endured in their gilded environs, all while ordinary people around the country are tear-gassed, grabbed off the streets, left to go hungry, or seen their clinical cancer trials halted on kingly whims.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

An assault, carjacking and child kidnapping pulled off by Trump's secret police... apparently they assaulted the child, too.

The Times interviewed dozens of migrant men sent to a prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. Independent forensic analysts called the testimony credible and consistent and said the treatment met the U.N.’s definition of torture. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.

As the court explained, “there is no free pass around the First Amendment.”

Jesus! Court hearing in ND Illinois today about ICE tactics:

"Bovino’s deposition included an admission that he had instructed officers to 'go hard' and arrest protesters 'who make hyperbolic comments in the heat of political demonstrations.'"

🤬

I mean what?!?

Kavanaugh stop

@lataco.bsky.social reported on it first and they managed it

The total is now 65 people, including one man who is presumed dead after surviving the United States' attack but could not be found by the Mexican Navy.

If you agree with the outrage over this video, over the fact that Kevin Roberts condemns antisemitism but is unwilling to condemn Tucker Carlson for platforming it, there are some lessons about the nature of justice. 🧵

Yes, everything is broken and there is plenty of reason to be cynical. But making noise when officials violate the constitution still sometimes works and we're going to keep doing it.

It is illegal for the U.S. military to deliberately target civilians — even those suspected of being criminals — who do not pose a threat of imminent violence. In peacetime, that is murder. In an armed conflict, that is a war crime." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Nice!

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

So far this year, the United States military has murdered at least 57 civilians in boats.

Ninth journalist I'm aware of ICE has targeted in apparent retaliation for exercising Constitutionally protected rights. Nothing damages American more than being so small/weak/petty that you abuse government resources to target speech. Hard to imagine something more unpatriotic and un-American.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

Tear gas is not safe. "Deceptively known as 'less-lethal,' these weapons can in fact cause severe injuries and even death when used with excessive force." phr.org/our-work/res...

“Over 170 U.S. Citizens are being arrested. Why? Because they look like me,” Rep. Robert Garcia of California said, referencing our reporting. “Or because they are suspected to not be a U.S. citizen, or because they are suspected of crimes they have not committed.”

JFC. ICE agent pulled over for suspected DUI threatens to check deputy’s citizenship status, asks if he’s Haitian "Your boy, he’s Haitian, right?” Deiseroth asked. Lane replied that Dorestant is an American citizen, noting that people must be citizens to work as law enforcement in Florida."

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

All impeachable offenses.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

"President Trump wrote on social media on Tuesday, asserting *without evidence* that they had been transporting drugs." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Yesterday the 8th Circuit denied Lance Shockley's request to have his daughters, who are ministers, serve as his spiritual advisors to pray and give him communion before his execution. A warrant for execution "halts all in-person contact with outside visitors except one: a spiritual advisor."

Ticketing a lawful permanent resident for not carrying their papers is unnecessary and doesn't make our cities safer. We will continue to push back against the Trump administration's cruel attempts to stoke fear in immigrant communities.

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

A complete disgrace www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Reposting this as long as he keeps killing civilians by bombing them from the sky. The war on drugs is a metaphor, not a justification for cold blooded murder.

I've asked staff in Kim Reynolds' office whether she would deploy the Iowa National Guard to blue states over the objections of the home state governor. No reply yet.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Freedom-of-speech event at the State Historical Society of Missouri this Wednesday! truman.missouri.edu/news/oct-8-d...

A really stirring opinion from Judge Karen Immergut (Boalt 87!) blocking Trump’s military assault on Portland, calling it, elegantly, “ untethered to facts.” “Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates …goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the US.”
