See that red X off the Pacific coast of Colombia? That’s where the US military recently blew up a boat, thousands of miles from the United States. There’s virtually no chance the boat was smuggling drugs into America, if it was even carrying drugs at all.
And saying "In the Pacific" hides how many thousands of miles south of the US the boat was. A boat 2 miles from Los Angeles is also "in the pacific" but it takes you to the end of the third paragraph to get "off the coast of Colombia" after repeating DOD claims it was heading to the US

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

They call themselves protectors of children, but it turns out they are perpetrators of crimes against children.
