I am VERY curious whether JSOC is also / will also resist this order for being illegal, or move forward with it despite JCS. My hopes are not high.

Remember when Congressional Democrats made that video telling the military not to follow illegal orders Today they followed Trump’s illegal order to invade Venezuela and abduct Maduro 40 innocent civilians died in the attack

After the House refused to display it, the Senate unanimously agreed to hang a plaque honoring the officers who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6. It only took five years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

A federal agent killed a U.S. citizen on camera. The government seized the evidence. And now they’re telling us not to believe what we saw. My new piece on truth, power, and the country we’re becoming:

Is your dumb ass really asking why someone would try to drive away from a platoon of masked, Full Metal Jacket lookin' wockaflockas, stompin' into neighborhoods, breaking down doors and windows, draggin' men, women and children away with "absolute immunity"?

"The people who run this regime do not understand law enforcement as an institution to be stewarded. The view it as a tool for the domination of their enemies. And their “enemies” include about half of America."

Trump lies!

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Thank you Pete Buttigieg

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.” (Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)

The citizens of Minneapolis sound united. Self-proclaimed, “right-leaning” eyewitness…

If the United States Constitution doesn’t protect you from a federal agent shooting you in the face for the “crime” of turning your car around, it doesn’t exist. ICE has become a paramilitary force with zero oversight and a Secretary in Kristi Noem who encourages the chaos. ENOUGH.

This is murder. Local officials must prosecute ICE. And Congress should strip them of their immunity.

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Thank God there is video and we don’t have only Kristi Noem’s lies about this - which she likely got from the agents’ supervisor. If there were no videos, as is the case with many criminal incidents, just imagine how big the lies get.

That Ice Agent was not "fearing for his life" he was gleefully commiting murder.

feel safer ?

DHS now confirming in a. statement that an ICE officer did shoot and kill someone at the site of a raid.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

You should always read Will Bunch, but especially today.

Not Somali. Not Venezuelan. Worked for Charlie Kirk.

Let me be very clear: tomorrow morning and EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, call your Reps and Senators whether Dem, Republican or Independent. Express your outrage at Trump’s imperial and illegal actions against sovereign nations. TELL THEM to convene. To hold up everything. Hold up $. 202-224-3121

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

A president who treats foreign policy as a personal instrument of power invites instability, not security.

Donald Trump's unprecedented data grab is central to a broader strategy of voter suppression, election subversion, and litigation designed to undermine free and fair elections in 2026 and beyond. This is the biggest fight for free and fair elections we have faced in years. Watch, learn and share.

Seriously. Impeach and Remove. No fucking joke. Starting a war without Congressional Approval is impeachable. Remove the MF with declining health. He’s trying to destroy the world just because he’s dying. Remove him.

“The Congress shall have power … To declare war.” Art. I, Sec. 8 “THE CONGRESS” constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay...

So it’s a secret war? That’s been considered an impeachable offense in the past.

Trump has already started blowing up Venezuela. Without Congressional Approval.

To that end, and more in line of what I can do, and likely have the relevant people following me: If anyone is aware of any congressional notification, please reach out. My Signal is crg.32 and I am awake and working — and hence available — as needed.

I know it’s 2:30am but I think we just went to war with Venezuela

Colombian President Gustavo Petro:

I call BS. CBS should just rename their network, BS., it’s all the have. BS Jbs

What an ahole.

Happy New Year to my Bluesky friends! A couple mornings ago I was fortunate enough to find myself atop of Smith Rock State Park near Bend, Oregon. I arrived to a dense fog inversion and climbed above the fog just in time for sunrise!

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

I am writing about how useless Big Law has become in the fight for democracy and I came across this from 2021. It was bullshit then -- the SWAT teams never existed. But it's notable that firms like Paul Weiss felt the need to act like they cared. Now, they don't even need to pretend.

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this: DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data. My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22. Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.
