Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

According to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the suspect of the National Guard shooting in Washington D.C. is said to, at one point, have worked with the CIA in one of its paramilitary groups also known as “Zero Units.” But what are "Zero Units?" www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Finally people are starting to pay attention and offering facts to those “originalists” in the legal community who should be confronted with the truth.

It is all too early, but there has been reporting that foreign terrorist cells have been calling for their adherents to carry out lone wolf attacks in the US now that Trump, Noem, Bondi and Patel have switched federal law enforcement onto immigration rather than terror threats. Sigh.

We would all do well to listen to and think about this Jimmy Cliff song today and really every day. Universal love… Beyond the boundaries… youtu.be/dNJmG2a7HP4?...

What is wrong with people? Seriously?!

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

Ugh

These 28 Democrats joined House Republicans in voting to repeal DC's law to effectively abolish cash bail. Why do they think they should have more of a say than DC residents? Why do they want to enable Trump's fascism? Why are they so blatantly racist?

It’s probably not the worst thing that courts & judges are getting weaned off defaulting to the notion of “the presumption of regularity” when the DOJ comes before them. The separation of powers is stronger if the courts are unbiased about the parties that come before them.

An employee of the DHS was among 16 men arrested in a sex trafficking operation in Minnesota looking to catch suspects allegedly soliciting sex from minors.

FFS!!! Evil knows no bounds in this Administration.

This song by a truly great band called Vintage Trouble is apropos of everything right now in the world, imo. youtu.be/5pDr7cQgTHk?...

I think it’s important to point out that not all of the estimated 1,000+ girls preyed upon by the Epstein-Maxwell sex trafficking scheme are “survivors”. A number of them are dead all or in part because of the trauma and cruelty that they experienced as a result of being drawn in.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years." When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

A 50 year mortgage is just more expensive rental with all of the liabilities of maintenance including repairs, insurance, and taxes without any realistic hope for full ownership within a normal person’s lifetime.

And people are surprised that the explosion of “legalized” gambling has corrupted sports?

Tim Kaine is so lame that he wasn’t smart and skilled enough to cave shrewdly and lay blame entirely on the GOP in his statement tonight. Really none of the Dems were, but he was especially stupid.

Christian Identity—a white supremacist theology born from 19th-century British Israelism—evolved in the U.S. into a violently racist faith that fueled groups like The Order and Aryan Nations. Though weakened, its influence endures across far-right networks, keeping its violent ideology alive.

SCOTUS has blocked the order to the Trump Administration to pay out SNAP benefits despite the fact that the program is funded and there is a statue compelling the Executive Branch to pay out even in a shutdown. Grrr. 😡

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Curtis Sliwa claims to have been offered $10 million, across seven bribes, to drop out of the mayoral race. Last month, he said he’d leave the ballot if “a Mack truck hits me, and I get turned into a speed bump, and they can’t recover me in the I.C.U.”

NEW: Jury selection begins in the trial of sandwich guy today. The prosecutors are accusing him of "throwing a meat sandwich" at "point-blank range." POINT-BLANK RANGE 💀 www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

"The club condemned the incident, saying: 'This really is happening in our country with frightening frequency. It’s terrifying and it has to stop.'" It will continue until enough of us demand that it stop.

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said. (Published Sept.)

WOW: "The Pentagon confirmed on Friday that it accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to help fund military pay." Trump is doing his best to make the US military his own private militia. This is very dangerous. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

ICE assaulted a citizen journalist in his car, tried to bash in his window with a gun & it discharged shooting both the journalist & a US Marshall. The incompetence is the point. ICE are American shabiha or titushky, barely trained thugs who spread destruction & fear www.wfsb.com/2025/10/21/u...

MAYBE THIS IS WHY THEY'RE COVERING THIER FACES! An NBC News investigation found several new ICE recruits have been sent to training without background checks. Many of the new recruits have serious criminal histories including arrests for assault and battery.

Jake Tapper - always the reliable Republican troll - says that LBJ is responsible for giving Trump the power to raze the White House. Sigh. FFS.

During the War of 1812 the White House was burned to the ground by a foreign enemy. Now in 2025 it is being razed by a Manchurian Candidate. A GOP pol just said the WH was different than it was when John Adams was President. Duh. Different because a foreign enemy burned that one down. FFS.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Jimmy Carter put a few solar panels on the roof of the White House and people freaked out. Reagan ran on taking them off. Trump destroys the entire East Wing - and I bet won’t stop there - and the GOP shrugs it off. Disgusting.

A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information. (Published July) With @kutnews.bsky.social @texastribune.org

It sounds like Prince Andrew is in pretty big trouble because of his Epstein problem. Perfect example of how problematic monarchy actually can be: youtu.be/8ySSpqoQR0g?...

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

On April 1, ICE apprehended 47 people — including 9 children — at a birthday party in Dripping Springs, Tex. The agency’s only disclosure about the raid describes the operation as targeting people believed to be connected to the Tren de Aragua gang. 🧵

This tech has been used to track heads of state, business leaders, journalists, and maybe even you. @lighthousereports.com uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. Read it here: https://bit.ly/3Jcme1g

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th. Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I'll be there. Please join in. www.nokings.org

There’s been an active cover-up since the mid-2000s to conceal the Epstein Files. The damning info from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s investigation & report into allegations of professional misconduct by the federal prosecutors, including Alex Acosta. youtu.be/7et6kS7r-T4?...
