Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

The old catchphrase "run the government like a business" has never made sense, definitionally. Most government services are things no business would ever do, because not all human needs can be contorted into a profit-generating activity.

WATCH: A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters trapped, struggling to breathe.

Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using crowd control weapons and fired on people in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Yes, the Supreme Court has failed to protect us from Trump. But it’s worse than that: The Supreme Court is imposing its own fascism. It invented presidential immunity. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress. It’s as bad as Trump, and moving in the same direction.

The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.

Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU.

Democracy dies on the Supreme Court’s shadow docket. From Kagan’s dissent:
December 5, 2025 at 2:09 AM
“It’s bad.” War crime at best (except we’re not at war with Venezuela) and cold-blooded premeditated murder at worst. #Hagueseth #Nuremberg2.0
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

Waaaaaaay more attention needs to be paid to Trump’s/Miller’s impending “war” on Venezuela and their (poorly) fabricated justifications for it. McKew’s analysis is essential reading. #NoFascistUSA

Acc to the Post, Adm. Mitch Bradley, head of Special Operations Command, “ordered a second strike IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH HEGSETH’S ORDERS” to ensure the survivors couldn't call on other traffickers to retrieve them and their cargo” [as their boat precariously burned; emphasis added].
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.

In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

@stephruhle.bsky.social Please don't bring Jeff Mason (Reuters WH correspondent) on to provide analysis. He parsed his words so carefully, so as not to offend the Dear Leader's sensibilities, that he gave no useful information, perspective, or opinion. It was painful to listen to. Example following.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Hegseth has now ordered at least 91 noncombatants, incl 2 injured and dying noncombatants, murdered. No declaration of war, no evidence, no legal or military process—pure illegal, extrajudicial murders.
November 28, 2025 at 9:53 PM
Secretary of Defense Hegseth, championed by Trump, directly orders the murder of injured, dying noncombatants. When will a democratic government somewhere in the world call for his extradition or for charges at the ICC? THIS MUST STOP. #NoFascistUSA
Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America
