It’s genuinely bizarre that people who refuse to show their face or identify themselves are demanding identification from people who are fully visible.

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Might be a tad bit late once the U.S. has attacked a NATO ally.

The War Powers Resolution is notable because it provides the *minority* a mechanism for forcing votes on unauthorized military actions.

Senator Tillis is in the majority which has many more tools available—and available now.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), to Bloomberg TV:

“If there is military action against #Greenland, I will be one of the first people to file and co-sponsor a War Powers Resolution. It will pass.”

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.

Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

Cashing in on cruelty.

The images coming out of Iran are heartbreaking.

Security forces have killed so many protesters. We’re talking thousands. Maybe tens of thousands.

This is a big no-no in armed combat.

It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone.

If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.
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."

The Border is wide open. They moved thousands of ICE agents to Minneapolis, MN to harass a blue city and state. Those agents have left the border wide open.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
