After Columbine I thought we would move heaven and earth to prevent mass shootings.
We did nothing and now they are almost a daily occurrence.
Today we watched an ICE thug brutally murder an American citizen in cold blood. A young mother.
If we do nothing this too will become a daily occurrence.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.
America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

The woman murdered in cold blood in Minneapolis today by ICE on behalf of Trump was not, as Sec. Noem, a "domestic terrorist." ICE agents were the domestic terrorists here—and they work for her, and ultimately him.

Trump, Noem, and this entire criminal administration must be held accountable by Congress for their myriad crimes against the public. It is the solemn constitutional and moral duty of all members of Congress to exercise their legal authority to remove them from executive office.

Of course more people have started to wake up to the imperialist nature of the US, with Vietnam and Iraq being some of the turning points.
But it’s worth noting that the US also has an extensive history of war and regime change in Latin America going back decades. This is nothing new.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.
