Trump's updated security strategy axes America's role as freedom's guardian, opting to bleed vulnerable nations dry for corporate gain while cozying up to despots for their dough. #Trump

Naturally, but the GOP and their MAGA fluffers on social media will have nothing to say about this, and Mike Johnson will pretend not to see this story until 2029.

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Because it's a feature, not a bug.
GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.

In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

We have power.

One of the greatest powers we have is power of the purse.

Stop spending money at companies actively trying to hurt us.

Even for just 1 week, stop spending at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot & reroute spending to businesses that aren't tanking our democracy. #WeAintBuyingIt

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

Trump had a lavish party with opera and truffles this weekend. It was a night of decadence and scantily clad women for the billionaire elite.

In my lifetime, it’s never been better for the rich nor worse for the rest of us.

Tip of the effin' ICEberg, this is.
A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.
