Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

Oh www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The Trump administration called Good a "terrorist" before they even knew the details, without any investigation, and in contrast to known facts. Then they blocked investigation and shifted blame and focus onto the victim... 1/2

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.

We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the β€œdome.”

And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

There is no question, none, that just after the former senate majority leader said Trump was "practically and morally responsible" for January 6--and then voted against impeaching him for it--Mitch Mcconnell is practically and morally responsible for digging the grave of American democracy.

Veteran diplomat, Richard Haass, weighs in on Venezuela, Maduro's capture, and the future of US foreign policy. Watch Katie Couric's in-depth conversation with Richard on Katie's Substack channel.

So Trump told the press he was going to invade Venezuela, and he told the oil companies he was going to invade Venezuela, but he never bothered to ask CONGRESS if he COULD invade Venezuela.

And congressional Republicans are just like… β€œmeh”.

Are you fucking kidding me?!!

The Missiles Fall. The Bromance Endures. As Russian drones and missiles tore into Kyiv, Donald Trump found time not for outrageβ€”but for understanding Vladimir Putin.

Kyiv was hit with 500 drones and 40 missiles. Civilians died.
Trump’s response? Understanding Putin’s inconvenience.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a bromanceβ€”paid for in Ukrainian lives.

C.I.A. Conducted Drone Strike on Port in Venezuela

This is an act of war and illegal under both US and international law, let’s just be clear about that:

Health minister says Canada can't rely on U.S. health institutions… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

Canada can no longer trust the United States as a credible source of medical information.
The USA was the gold standard. Now they have jumped down the dark hole of conspiracy and rage.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

(πŸ¦‹) BLUESKY NEWS: The South African Sociopathβ€”everyone knows who I meanβ€”has apparently just made a series of changes to Twitter that launched a new exodus. The per-second growth rate here at BlueSky is now *more than triple* what it was yesterday.

So welcome, Twitter refugees! This is *way* better.

INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE

This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago.

Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it.

β€œIf the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

CBS Pulled a β€œ60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment β€” That’s a Veto on Journalism Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night β€” and it should scare everyone.

NYT: Epstein, Trump Once Discussed How Much Pubic Hair A Woman Had A Times investigation makes it almost certain that Trump knew what his sexcapade pal, Jeffrey Epstein, was up to and, at the least, likely facilitated it.

Gary Hart was forced out of the Democratic primary for a photo with a woman sitting on his lap. Al Franken was forced out of the Senate for an old photo of him being juvenile and sexist. Meanwhile, this rapist asshole marches merrily on his way.
