🧵As Sanho says in his next post, the extrajudicial killing of people suspected (or even convicted) of drug running is also illegal.
It's all murder. It's just that US culture & politics are shot through with the idea that ~bad guys~ forfeit their humanity when we decide they're bad guys.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

As those who follow these things know. other than the steel tariffs which are covered separately, my own view is that Trump's tariffs have no basis in law at all, and that this is so obvious that it is a test of whether SCOTUS is a court in meaningful sense.

Hassett on tariffs: "Even if the Supreme Court disagrees with us, we have a backup plan that'll get these things in place right away. So we're gonna win either way."

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:

Yinka Bankole, who claims he had just started at the school when a 17-year-old Farage singled him out for abuse, said he had decided to tell his story in full after watching the Reform leader’s press conference on Thursday. Continue reading...
