Anyone who is trying to drug their granddaughter (for god only knows what sicko reason) is a hell of a lot more of a threat than some smugglers

Follow up question Congress failed to ask, is everyone who has cocaine in their possession a terrorists or just those you wanted justification for killing?
Or was only a matter of time before they just started tossing around the spooky terrorist word as a blanket excuse.

Venezuela regime change has been a pipe dream of mainstream neo-cons who want the oil for business buddies, as well as maga fools who think Venezuela was behind 2020 voter rigging. But attacking go-fast boats in hope of inciting a defensive response against US military is classic cia shit

I agree they’re all liars, and that most of them have no idea what their are talking about. But there is something else happening too. My current theory is someone who should have never had clearance got access to cia destabilization plans, got excited, picked one, and got trump to approve it.

The facts are an inconvenience, as the Trump admin is so blatantly obviously trying to bait Venezuela into shooting back or similar other response to then justify some sort of actual land action and/or regime change, likely with eyes set on the countries oil.

But no, they don’t care about drugs nor the betterment of anyone. They likely don’t know, and certainly don’t care, that it’s widely known for decades that coke being taken on go-fast boats from Venezuela to Suriname will be packaged in cargo vessels and shipped to Rotterdam

Right wing authoritarians love an ‘ends justify the means’ argument, but if they really thought that it’s a moral good to kill drug traffickers for the betterment of mankind, then they should also be advocating for bombing the large Dutch bound cargo vessels too.

„Völkermord an Christen“ im Sudan? Fachleute widersprechen rechtem Narrativ Zum Konflikt im Sudan verbreiten sich Falschbehauptungen – etwa, dass die Gewalt dort hauptsächlich gegen Christen gerichtet sei.

I recently wrote about how right-wing accounts have been spreading the false narrative that the violence in Sudan is mainly targeted at Christians and perpetrated by Muslims. Several experts I spoke to explained why it is not a religious conflict correctiv.org/faktencheck/...

Slow Violence, Low Vitamins The harm done by vitamin D deficiency is hard to track, especially if no one is tracking it.

We're inundated with stories of violence--the "conventional" violence of bombs and beatings, and the "slow violence" of health and social structures being erased. As winter descends, I offer the notion of vitamin D deficiency as "slow violence."

What that means in practice, only time will tell. But it would appear there are already federal prosecutors excited about targeting cannabis users and bringing charges for simple possession and personal use. And it’s worth remembering, they can deport folks for weed

This is important and seems to have been largely overlooked,
Trump has done away with guidance that discouraged federal prosecutors from prioritizing cannabis possession cases as well as guidance that protected medical cannabis patients who also own guns.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:

Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.

They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.

Small world.

a graph showing the results described in the text

*More than half of the GOP believe the 2020 election outcome was the result of fraud
*More than 4 out of 10 believe 9/11 was an inside job
*37% believe the Holocaust did not happen or was exaggerate
*36% believe NASA faked the moon landing
*1 in 3 believe vaccines cause autism

The people don’t fucking want ICE there. They want their immigrant neighbors there.

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

Important @motherjones.com piece here:

The FBI obtained historical cell site records associated with cell towers located in the immediate vicinity of the RNC and DNC for the relevant time period on January 5, 2021.

According to the Pipe Manufacturer, approximately 26,000 of these items from Pipe Manufacturer were sold in 2020, and over 22,000 of these items were sold to Home Depot.

The person's car "was observed driving past a License Plate Reader"

The Criminal Complaint against the suspected January 6 pipe bomber refers to:

- tower dumps
- bulk review of Home Depot purchases
- ALPRs www.justice.gov/usao-dc/medi...

Oh this poll is fascinating

Line chart from Gallup showing a decline in the percentage of Americans who say it's a good time to find a quality job.

In a new @gallup.com survey, 33% of Americans say it's a good time to find a quality job. That's the lowest percentage since the final days of Trump's first term, during the pandemic. news.gallup.com/poll/699311/...

Its super neat that TPUSA’s culture of harassment has gotten worse than ever and there’s weekly stories about their leads generating deaths threats against some poor teacher or student yet their CEO hasn’t been asked about any of that as she speaks at shit like the DealBook Summit and w/e tf this is

Scoop: Louisiana's fish/wildlife agency is detaining people not guilty of any crimes & transferring them to ICE. It's one of 1000+ state + local agencies that started doing so this year.

ICE couldn't provide any info on people the wildlife agency has detained for them:

the Comet Ping Pong attack was nine years ago today—weeks after Trump’s 2016 win—and inspired by a conspiracy theory promoted by Jack Posobiec, who was recently invited to the White House, demands antifa be designated a terrorist group, and asked questions as “press” at the Pentagon this week

What to know when the ban on most US hemp products goes into effect Ban set to be enforced in November 2026 will change pricing, availability and composition of products

I keep forgetting the government decided it was important, with all the things going on, to reverse the federal legalization of hemp as part of reopening the government. It’s so unbelievably stupid. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
