Good for this guy. The state tried to prosecute him for misdemeanor "unauthorized wearing of a uniform" for comedy videos in which he mocked the state police. It was flagrantly unconstitutional.

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

Threatening to conduct a unilateral military action against an ally because the president of that country is opposed to your illegal military actions against their neighbor. This man is not medically or psychologically fit to hold office.
TRUMP: Colombia is very sick too. Run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the US, and he's not gonna be doing it very long

Imagine a country in which a SCOTUS decision can be appealed to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and such a decision would be binding. Imagine the U.S. having to abide by the many human rights treaties it has refused to ratify. Imagine gov officials being accountable for their illegal acts.

I think it's apparent now more than at any point in recent history that adherence to international human rights law must be a campaign issue. We must fight for a gov bound by human rights. This means advocating for treaty ratification and submission to international human rights courts and tribunals

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is all illegal and creates serious instability throughout the Americas. Removing a head of state by military force not authorized by Congress and claiming that the US will take over and run the country is colonialism that is illegal even by the aggressor country’s own standards.

All we’ve done by stripping human rights from protection seekers at the border over the decades is train the largest and least accountable law enforcement agency in the country on how to violate rights against anyone when they’re deployed to the interior.
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

These men were forcibly disappeared by the US and Salvadoran governments. The reason we don’t know more about the torture that happened inside is because they were disappeared. Now, the State has captured a major media outlet and censored our access to the truth. This is the United States in 2025.

It’s especially important for purposes of families being able to do independent autopsies. None of this is to suggest there was no timely notification in these cases, but I’m very interested in learning about average length of time post death that notifications actually go out.
