Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Precedents like this render him immune from future gov’t shutdowns. He doesn’t need the legislature’s funds if he can create massive slush funds for himself by looting foreign nations and extorting US companies. He’s achieving escape velocity from our system & Congress is just watching.

One thing you should know and forever remember about January 6 is that it’s the birthdate of abolitionist Charles Sumner, a champion of pro-Black equality and forefather of the 14th Amendment, which gave us equal protection of the laws and forever barred insurrectionists from public office.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

8/ Remember that they knew the entire time that they were carrying out those boat strikes that yesterday's operation was on the horizon. They wanted to get us used to the rules not applying to "narcoterrorists," and now that they have crossed this Rubicon more is coming

NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

The "law enforcement" justification for why the military carried out yesterday's completely unprecedented action in Venezuela is just obviously stupid and illegal on its face, but so much worse when properly accounting for the 80+ Venezuelans we murdered in the course of serving that warrant
