How do we even know the boats have drugs on them? How do we know the people on the boats aren't being used as mules (unaware of their cargo)? This is extra-judicial murder. These people belong in a war crimes tribunal.
If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

Homeland Security won't stop lying about who immigration enforcers are arresting
In case after case, Homeland Security's Public Affairs Office releases incorrect information about arrests carried out by federal immigration officers.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

For anyone who has family that immigrated to the US from the Kingdom of Italy, it's good to remember the original ban on anti-fascism.

And, seriously, Americans, aren't we better than this? Christians, aren't we better than this? History books will record the nations character. It is how people will view us on reflection. Act like it.
No, they’re not. They’re not better than this. I respect the hell out of you @JeffFlake, but you should know that by now. C’mon my friend. The Republican Party is no longer the party you & I served in. And it won’t be, ever again.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Remember that the close to home impact of this administration will first be to hurt farmers and the communities they support, especially our children's school lunch programs. And they will say MAHA as they force the kids on to processed foods.

Respectfully my friend, it’s not amazing. Not amazing at all. By now, everything my old world of MAGA does is utterly expected & predictable.
Amazing how quickly MAGA world shut up about the Michigan church shooting the minute they found out he was a Trump supporter.
No shame.
No shame.

Aside from how utterly deranged it is to even make light of this, he's not mocking some reporter or pundit by calling him "General." Ben Hodges is a real three-star general, he was the commander of the US Army in Europe before he retired. In other words, he's worked with a lot of Germans soldiers.

From its beginning, the US has been an effective coalition builder. The colonies stood no chance against the British, except for the aid of France. The same has been true of every conflict, challenge, and triumph of our country. Deeply maddening that my country is failing to embrace its super power.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Who is happy about this proclaimed Golden Age of America? It is rife with fear, full of contempt. We all feel the elephant (excellent coincidence of idiom and political marketing) in the room. We voted for it. It's so expensive, they had to raise the debt limit. Are we happy now?

You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter what Kimmel said. The federal government threatened ABC to suspend/fire Kimmel or there’d be consequences. It was a direct threat issued yesterday, and it’s on tape. That’s a direct violation of the First Amendment. It’s a direct attack on free speech.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." This hurts fascists.
