Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Trump talks about how he has the right policy but blames the mind of the public for rejecting it. That isn't democracy; it's authoritarian populism. In a democracy, the public judges the leaders. In autocracies, autocrats judge the public. #holdfast
Trump to House Republicans: "Most of you are in this business longer than me. That makes me smarter than you. Because look where I am, right? No it doesn't. But I wish you could explain to me what the hell is going on with the mind of the public because we have the right policy."
