Yeah, that war crime has been overlooked. So incredibly sad for the innocent men, women and children crushed in that building. How cold and cruel were the responses in that chat.
Maybe we don’t allow our government officials to have or use signal at all. It should be banned, like not allowed on their devices. Gov issued or private. They have appropriate means to communicate without it!
I’ve been asking over and over—at what point can our military step in and arrest all involved? This wasn’t just a security breach; it was a war crime that put our military personnel at risk. And let’s not forget those who perjured themselves under oath. A plethora of crimes! A veritable cornucopia!
The military cannot ever legally do that. It's not ever going to happen unless Trump orders soldiers to shoot civilian protestors in the streets. If they do it then we are living in Russia, if they refuse then Trump is on a plane to Russia like Bashir Al-Asad...
Because the military is made up of a diverse microcosm reflecting US society as a whole. You know how split X and BlueSky users are? That same split exists in the military. One squadron might have 10 different levels of comfort but they all keep their mouths shut because "thems the rules"
Why are we attacking Yemen anyway? I suspect it has something to do with Iran, but shouldn’t they be explaining to us why this operation even happened? And why innocent people should die for it?
Based on the conversation you’ve highlighted, the description of “walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed” strongly suggests an indiscriminate or disproportionate strike, which could very well violate IHL principles and be deemed a war crime if investigated and substantiated.
If we survive the Nazis whoever leads better go after each and every complicit person, organization and corporation that committed crimes. With real penalties for once. The days of business as usual have to end or we will be back here again soon.
Not even a casual question about how many other people were in that building....so if you're a terrorist then your girlfriend is a terrorist and everyone who lives on her block is a terrorist too???
The US's official position is that anyone or anything that is in a Muslim country is a terrorist. Even if it's a white Christian American. Buildings are also terrorists. Especially cancer hospitals.
I was talking with ace war photographer Gilles Peress the day the US invaded Iraq. To my shame, I said, "How can this be happening? We used to be the good guys." Gilles gave me a pitying glance, "No, Fayette, you were never the 'good guys."
How many other secret Signal group chats have there been like this? This one happened to leak because they fucked up but this is probably just the tip of the iceberg folks.
Yemen Houthi's been retaliating Israel warmongering with attacks on ships, so Trump wants to get commerce flowing unobstructed once again, of course unconcerned about the motivations of Houthi attacks. Labeling them terrorists funded by Iran is good enough, never mind innocent kids being killed.
Thank you for pointing this out. Now please talk some of your Democratic colleagues into investigating why we were bombing civilian targets in a country with which we are not in a declared war.
Killing an entire building of people for 1 target, i need to learn more of this.
Radcliffe said it was a house, if it is just a house than this is false news.
If it was a building, then they lied under oath about it being his GF house!
Have you noticed that 🍊hasn’t left the Country at all so far… He sends others. He is scared something might happen if he does… Plus most Countries don’t allow felon’s.
Osama was killed by bullets in a midnight raid using blackhawk helicopters. You couldn’t have picked a worse example of a targeted strike vs. an indiscriminate bombing that murdered 5 children. One was the right way the other was not.
A key point! Where is the humanity and awareness
in these official responses from the Vice-President of the United States, a military veteran and educated leader in an official communication of this magnitude?
"What?" "Excellent"--- Sounds like a high school phone-under-the-desk during class convo.
If you live in the DMV area, you need to start mobilizing demonstrations NOW in front of the Pentagon, DNI HQ, NSA HQ, and the CIA HQ until Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Waltz are fired or resign. #SignalGate @moveon.org @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @aclu.org @fightforprogress.org
Who’s going to be the first one from this administration to go to another country years down the road and get arrested and sent to The Hague. It’s gonna be someone now that the US has burned all its goodwill
The fact the media (or the Senate to my knowledge) have not zeroed in on this abhorrent fact is horrifically telling of the media's willingness to exploit palace intrigue vs. the staggering war crime. It probably doesn't poll well because the US doesn't give a shit about other countries anymore.
Can they please explain to the American public why civilian lives were not taken into account. They are right the American public will not like this attack for more than 1 reason now. We all need to be mad about more then the press being added. So much in the message that should be condemned.

Despite my stark hashtag, I'm so happy today!!! "Nobody was texting war plans" my a**! Time to read these receipts... https://apple.news/AsfNHVJN3SFCwSLFfHK0DYQ
THANK YOU for saying this part!! And their cult members actually think it was a successful mission, civilians be damned, and communication methods be damned. It's disgusting and vile.
Thank you for shining a light on this! Please include #AltText when you post images and screen shots. It's easy, just touch the ALT on the image right before you post and you can add a description or transcript. 💜 This makes the image accessible to folks who use screen readers.
how does killing random civilians end this threat? why do we need an alternative proposal when you just want to kill people for no reason. can't we just not do that
Who knew JD Vance (not his real name) was such a warmonger? I'm so glad Usha is not going to Greenland. That sounded like the manipulative bullshit that Elump likes to pull.
I've been saying this all day. Did they really demolish a building and kill 53 people to target ONE guy??? And I'm sorry, but bombing a civilian building seems completely wrong...what the fuck is happening.
What's happening is the frogs have been boiled so long that all that's left is frog broth. The IDF has been doing this in Gaza for years now and Obama and Bush were doing it in Iraq/Afghanistan/Syria before then. Americans simply don't view Muslims as human beings at this point
🎯 It’s only a war crime, no biggie. But since we belong to Israel now I guess this is how we roll. Publicly cheering the murder of innocent civilians while claiming victimhood.
Sure we’ll say next all the babies would be terrorists so they should die, right???
You got a point there. Still Signalgate suggests the alcoholic is a complete fuck up. Whereas the nazis seem to know what they're doing. All the above should be a wake up call for USians.
Yeah, there are War Crimes and Genocide happening on both sides of Israel Aided by Trump. It's time for the ICC to get a warrant issued on Trump too. It would pretty much only be symbolic but personally I'm okay with that!
“Getting in to his girlfriend’s house “ . This is a Muslim society and “girlfriend “ is not acceptable. So this guy has no clue what he is talking about.
Thank you. A war crime was my impression too. How can you justify blowing up an apartment building because 1 target walked into it. But, this is getting NO attention.
The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. What does it say about us that we elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. sad!
And nobody would have known because they are using this app and set to auto delete in 4 weeks. They are trying to evade any kind of scrutiny and if ever questioned it will be whatever they decide the truth is because there is no evidence otherwise. This is our government now.
Last I checked perjury is a federal offense when speaking to Congress? Perhaps it might be an opportune time to visit that! Who agrees? Up to five years of imprisonment and
fines. One way to eliminate waste, abuse, fraud! 🤷🏽♀️
Do you think under a comparable strike under Obama or Biden the situation room wouldn’t have been full of similar sentiments? Not caring much about civilian lives is pretty bipartisan
I don't think these people have thought about who's going to protect them from the International Criminal Court as they demolish the US's relationship with allies and overall global standing.
rogue elements are now running the country, with no one to stop them.
it’s only a matter of time before a colossal failure or a major act of terrorism exposes the incompetence of this so-called government. Whatever happens, it will undoubtedly go down in history as a catastrophic moment
Oh, they're texting like real tech bros. Too bad this is serious stuff. Sometimes, it's better not to know your leaders are just texting like a bunch of juveniles.
Yeah, because complaining about them to them has worked out so far.🤷 Dems need to organize a million man march if there isn't anything else they can do legislation wise.
Exactly. Although some of the "Do Something" outcries are valid, most of these posters are agitators, wanting to further sow division and frustration against Democratic representatives. Anyone with basic understanding of the government knows the limitations with republicans in charge.
I’m not an “agitator “. I’m a disappointed Dem who thinks change is required. The old ways of doing business in Congress are not effective and rules are not followed by Repugs. I have a basic understanding of the US government, and wonder why you need to insult us.
Until we, as a collective of Americans, eradicate white privilege (i.e., racism), incompetent, unqualified, arrogant racist white men and women will continue to destroy our society, which was built primarily on the backs of enslaved Black people. #endfascism #endracism #DemocratsLearnToFightDirty
A war crime to punish the Yemeni government for running a naval blockade off their own coast. The naval blockade - an actual *legitimate* war tactic - meant to stop an illegitimate military operation that the ICC has repeatedly called a Crime Against Humanity.
And others sent emojis. This whole thing is fucked. The unsecure chat ap, their personal phones, a guy in Russia in it, the journo in it, the casual language, the flippant disregard for the victims & US pilots and then the lies to deny it. With a President who doesn't get it.

Their sheer excitement at what they had done is disgusting.

"we blew up his shorties building? 👊🇺🇸🔥"
And we're the good guys.
The administration lacks a moral compass or any other restraints, and this is another example. The laws they broke are domestic ones, however.

Why?
Because he didn’t brag.
He informed us that the number one terrorist is the world had been eliminated.
Not on Signal. On the national news.
Think. It’s patriotic.

So, the US obliterated a residential apartment building in Yemen killing 50+ innocents.
Nice job everyone. We suck.

You want to take this one guy out? You do not have to crater a whole city block to do so.
They just wanted to swing their flaccid dicks around— and it showed in the SignalGate excerpts.
Sure we’ll say next all the babies would be terrorists so they should die, right???
Time to call him what he is LOUDLY!

President Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about a blowjob.
🤷🏼♀️
I get that you are upset but why are you taking it out on the other people, who are also upset?
If you have a plan of action, share it,...or stop talking about it and DO it. You are NOT the only Dem who thinks change is required.
This is a Republican problem that can only be fixed by Republicans. The most Dems can do right now is make noise, and Rep Frost is and does.
Have a good one!
We are the bad guys in this. Not them.
JD Vance - Excellent
If any military person disseminated this info, they would be subject to the USCMJ!
