The fact that our country did this once was already unconscionable.

To have revived it is truly depraved.

Those responsible belong in prison - all the way up the chain of command.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

admiral Bradley might well be someone who has had exemplary service in the military. But this is a war crime. And he ordered it.
Watch this till the end, truly powerful by one who knows. It is clear that this was flat out murder on the high seas. We need to see that whole video. Hegseth and Trump are holding it back because they know what it shows.

Russia is the principal enemy of the United States. It wages total war against American civil society, particularly in the information domain.

Trump is an ally of the Russian enemy and traitor to the United States.

Trump is a liar.

The United States allocated nowhere near $350 billion to Ukrainian defenders during Biden’s presidency.

The U.S. allowed Ukraine to purchase Javelins in 2018 but Trump restricted their use: Javelins could not be placed at the front to knock out russian tanks.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump: Biden gave $350 billion to Ukraine. You know what I gave them? Nothing. Well, I gave them Javelins at the beginning, they knocked out tanks.

Trump, by corruption and incompetence, has made the US irrelevant. Sure, speedboats are vulnerable, but that's about the limit of Trump's capacity for action. Buh-bye.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Trump: We are going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. Farmers like me based on voting trends. So we are going to use that money to provide $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers. $12 billion is a lot of money

It's up to all of us in Western democracies to decide: defend our way of life like Ukraine or surrender like the United States.

Russia put us in a state of war – we didn't choose it. Now, we fight for victory or we submit like slaves.

In other words, Americans should be ashamed that a migration flow so pathetically small compared to a population of over 300 million is being used to trick them into collaborating with the destruction of their own democratic norms and institutions
The story (www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...) also lets people believe a million immigrants is a lot. It's not. In 2023 there were 32 million immigrants here who arrived in the last 26 years -- well over a million a year. A healthy level of immigration is probably higher than that.
