Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

For anyone living under a rock, disrespect to law enforcement is now a capital crime with an automatic “domestic terrorism” label.

Trump on the killing of Renee Good: "At a very minimum, that woman was very, very disrespectful to law enforcement. And you heard the same noises, you saw the same crunch that I saw. You can't do that with law enforcement."

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:

Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.

To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

Before Trump, law enforcement were trained to behave professionally. At a traffic stop they would start with words such as "Mam, may I see your drivers license and registration."

ICE evidently trains their goons to start a stop with screamed profanity, quickly followed by violence.

Masks for public health were “tyranny,” but masks for secret-police tactics are “law and order.”

Remember when British soldiers faced trials for shooting colonists—yet Trump’s America we can’t even muster that level of accountability for the murder of US citizens by our own government…

“Based on our research, we would argue that the economic rationale for keeping taxes on the rich low is weak. In fact, if we look back into history, the period with the highest taxes on the rich — the postwar period — was also a period with high economic growth and low unemployment.”

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

I am hereby calling on Press Secretary Leavitt to stop blatantly lying to the American people.

A mother of three who is now dead very clearly backed up and turned the wheel to get away from an ICE officer illegally trying to open her car.

There must be an independent investigation.

GOV. WALZ: “Now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation, it feels very difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment. They have stood and told you things that are verifiably false.”

Any elected official who does not support a full, transparent, and independent investigation into the killing of 37‑year‑old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis does not deserve to hold public office.
