The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Could be the result of:

- A politically motivated attack
- A robbery
- A negligent discharge
- An argument between Guard members

The point is: Don't assume anything and wait for details
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two National Guard members have been shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says.

The Trump administration openly says that it will use its domestic spying capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. And ICE has been bulking up on the latest surveillance technology.

The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

THIS 👇
@muellershewrote.com is right.
Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Disgusting. I am so disgusted.
"Things happen ... and how dare you embarrass me and my very important guest by bringing up something unpleasant like hacking up a journalist."

Trump thinks every ruler should be able to chop up pesky journalists who report things that make the ruler look bad. That's how it's always been, right?
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

YES!!!! Democracy requires participation to work.
I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

You know, if the press refused to report him after this kind of thing, he would stop.

Some 19th century journalists did this to a threatening congressman. It worked.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."

Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

If Congress follows Trump's directive to rename the Defense Department, it could cost taxpayers nearly $2B in new signage, letterheads, and digital code.

Imagine if we invested that money — and our bloated military budget as well — on the American people instead of the Pentagon.
