Right. This is normally a prelude to imminent war. But no one knows if the us president is serious or had a bad breakfast or is making an insane joke or had a stroke or whatever.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

When it’s fishermen they’re pretending are low level drug runners, they’ll bomb and then circle back to finish off the survivors.
But someone convicted in a court of masterminding a massive cocaine trafficking scheme? Well, he’s wearing a suit. Come on.

This is similar nonsense to how the Trump admin talks about addressing historic backlogs in the immigration courts.
The solution to backlogs are to hire more judges and staff, not to abolish due process. It’s not that hard!

Just going to pop into this thread to say that it appears that there are raids happening nationwide today I’m seeing reports of raids on hospitals and other soft targets in places like Rhode Island and in other states that have not seen any reporting on ice activities.

Undoubtedly, Musk's "make people laugh at a party" is him taking a picture of someone he employs, having MechaHitler roast their appearance, and then delighting in the forced laughter of his other employees.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.
This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
That’s seems really bad.

To quote a nurse friend: “med spas are gross. Don’t go to them. Don’t let your friends go to them.”
I'm quote tweeting not as a dunk, but there's an influencer who got offered a free IV drip and as a result has been dealing with the flesh eating bacteria for years now.
A lot of these medi-spas are not well regulated and opening your arm to them has real infection risks.

Both of my siblings are proponents of the IV drip for general health which feels like… too much? My sister just had one to recover from jet lag. Am I in denial and possibly because I need an IV drip?
