WELKER: Part of the outrage people are expressing is they feel like you're asking them to believe something they don't see. Is that was the administration is asking?
BLANCHE: You shouldn't try to gaslight the administration about what happened. That was not a peaceful protest.

As predicted: the stabilized footage has pretty much immediately become a significant issue for the federal government here.
BASH: Why was an unarmed man shot multiple times by your Border Patrol agents?
BOVINO: Dana, you don't know he was unarmed. I don't know he was unarmed. That's freeze frame adjudication. That's why we have an investigation.

Bovino said ICE used "deescalation techniques" when interacting with Alex Pretti.
So it's deescalation for seven ICE thugs to shoot a nurse in the back?

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

There is no global authority that can police the United States. The law restrains us only if we choose to be restrained. When Congress refuses to act, when courts stay silent, when we bomb nations and announce colonial rule impunity isn't an accident. It's policy. This is empire.

i can't stop thinking about how the US's stance is that the US can prosecute foreign Presidents for crimes allegedly committed in the US, but that the ICC and UN cannot do so, and also that the US cannot prosecute *its own President* for crimes committed in the US

BREAKING: The U.S. won’t govern Venezuela, but will press changes through an oil blockade, Rubio says, after Trump claims of running the country.
Venezuela live updates: Uncertainty and legal questions remain after US captures Maduro
The Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and claims that it will “run” the country are raising stark new questions about the legality of the U.S. actions and its future operations in the South American nation.

At a time when he’s caused healthcare & other costs to skyrocket here at home, Trump bailed out Argentina & wants to "run" Venezuela, including if necessary, w/ US boots on the ground. All he cares abt is enriching himself, big bankers, oil CEOs & the rest of his billionaire pals.

A lot of people keep bring up Panama in 1989
and one big difference is in Panama Manuel Noriega was never President or PM of Panama, he was de facto dictator as head of the military but never legally head of state or government

Watching Trump's remarks. He's very clearly unwell. We've literally just staged a violet coup, and he's wandering on and on about other topics. This is all so wildly concerning.
