The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test
Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors."

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.

There is increasingly more evidence to support this.
Since Jan I’ve been saying that Hakeem Jeffries is a huge problem, a minority leader who has accumulated enormous power over the House caucus and the party and stops action. And people have dunked on me, saying I’m just being negative towards Dems for clout.
No.
Jeffries is a problem!

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

It's worth noting, for those who *do* have a legitimate procedural/rule-of-law objection to illegal immigration, that Trump is not acting on that idea; he's acting on can only be called nativism and xenophobia. lnk.thebulwark.com/48vef8l
Now Trump Is Threatening Naturalized Americans
He’s not just bashing refugees and illegal immigrants. He’s going after U.S. citizens born in other countries.

The original White House--like the Capitol--was deliberately NOT garish.They were supposed to reflect republican governance: not monarchies, not aristocracies.They were supposed to show a commitment to We the People.
The current decorations are the precise opposite.

We need to stop cooperating.
Disobedience and acts of non-cooperation are the stealthy ninjas of protest: less risky and more powerful in the long run. When movements develop the capacity to withstand repression, they make authoritarian overreach much less effective. Listen: https://loom.ly/zLUDPVY

Even if this was actually a war, and only Congress can declare war, federal law still applies.

Sen. Roger Marshall defends Hegseth: "Look, we're losing 200 Americans every day to drug poisoning from these drug lords. This is a war. And it's ugly. War is never pretty ... that strike probably saved thousands of American lives."
