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."

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Billionaire Bill Ackman donated $10k to Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Nicole Gold.
His gofundme is raking in money from far right people who are celebrating this senseless killing.
No one should profit off murder.
Report his GFM.
Make sure he doesn’t see a dime.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

2025 solar update - full year bill is $824
Compared to last full 12 months without - $3,210
Saving $2,386
But we've had $110 a year increase in daily charges
And peak power is now 22c per kw instead of 12c etc ( probably $400-600 more on actual power if now)

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."
