Looks like that message going around about how the soldiers who appeared at Fort Bragg were selected for Trump-friendliness and for their appearance was real:

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

In this short "On-Target" video by @markjacob.bsky.social and me, we discuss how ABC News' firing of Terry Moran illustrates they value a posture of objectivity over telling the truth—and how this journalistic mindset has aided Trump’s march into authoritarianism. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

LA is not burning down. There are no “riots”. It’s an escalation from the Trump regime for his own nefarious purposes.

The party that called the January 6th such on the Capitol "legitimate political discourse" doesn't get to tell ANY group of people that they shouldn't fly a flag honoring their heritage. Never forget what they defended.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

Poor guy… 😉

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

This war is not a random shuffle of tragic events. It is a litmus test for twenty-first-century deterrence—a high-stakes hand in the long-running, multidimensional game of geopolitical poker, where decisionmaking unfolds under conditions of incomplete information nationalinterest.org/feature/ukra...

The news emerging from India of the crashing of a London-bound flight in Ahmedabad is devastating. My thoughts are with the passengers, their families and all those affected. I urge the Government to do all it can to support British nationals caught up in this disaster.

On russian Telegram: russians celebrate @Keir_Starmer and his failure to act on frozen funds. UK Prime Minister Starmer has called the issue of confiscating £25bn of Russian assets frozen in the country "difficult": 1/3

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

BREAKING: Massive numbers of people from Europe and Asia have canceled vacations to America because trump has made this a dangerous destination, a major blow to our tourism industry. Can't blame them. Stay away.

Latin Times There will now be a recount, by hand, accompanying investigation after it's found that NY shown not one vote for her. And we know there were voters for Harris. RECOUNT, FINALLY. Thank you @KamalaHarris. share.newsbreak.com/dile6okd

What is happening in this country is unprecedented and incredibly disturbing. Deploying the CA National Guard and Marines without consulting the state’s governor is a clear and dangerous abuse of power. Anyone breaking the law, assaulting police, or perpetrating violence should be held accountable.

I’m in Toronto for kid’s grad. I went from the airport to a passport office, dropped off an application (including a brief interview about why I needed it urgently), paid $210 Canadian dollars (about $160 US) and will pick up my new passport within 48 hrs. It took a total of 15 minutes.

This is good advice!

The Mayor of LA has issued a curfew tonight — not because the citizens are out of control BUT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS.

Men are pretending to be ICE to abduct women as if this wasn't the most predictable thing to come out of allowing masked goons with no ID to snatch people off the streets.

🎯

Cary López is a U.S. citizen. ICE agents violently detained her while she was visibly pregnant, pushing her hard enough to make her lose balance. This isn’t “law enforcement.” This is state violence. Against women. Against citizens.👇

💯 Zelensky: Putin doesn't want to end war. He believes that as long as he can fight and dominate his neighbors, he remains politically alive. But regardless of what he believes, our task is to force Russia into a situation where it must seek peace and political survival through non-military means.

There’s a false narrative circulating that I voted for a resolution “expressing gratitude to ICE.” That’s a deeply dishonest attack. Here’s why:

If this is true, then it has begun! The use of military troops to detain or police US citizens!

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦 German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has arrived in Kyiv.

Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map

I thought the Marines swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a king, not to a party, and certainly not to an autocrat. Any leader who demands blind loyalty to themselves over the rule of law is unfit to command. Demand our service members defend democracy, not the oppressors.

That other dog has a serious attitude problem. #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/Eyebleach/...

We asked Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a constitutional law expert, about the legality of ICE agents wearing masks

The President of the United States this week has: - Restored the name of Robert E. Lee to a U.S. military base (Lee fought against the U.S. military) -Deployed Marines to an American city. - Shipped military equipment to Washington D.C. for a military “parade.”

Man, fuck this guy. What a disappointment.

Too good not to go in #AGoodPlace

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.
