grifters gonna grift

Fabulous stuff fabulous stuff the troops getting paid with literal Gilded Age Robber Baron money. The Pinkertonization of the world's greatest military. With some fresh banana wars being cooked up in the process.

The Caribbean boat strikes are egregiously illegal under both US domestic law and US-ratified international treaties.

Anyone carrying them out is following an illegal order. (Is that why Adm. Holsey resigned?)

Trump will not be in power forever, and will not save war criminals from accountability.

Lovvveee pitties

This is the third death that I'm aware of this year where a person died trying to flee from ICE.

They should hold Nuremberg-style trials in the Epstein ballroom once this is all over.

all I'm gonna say is that these posts are hours apart

this is my local ice cream guy! he’s great! everyone loves him! fuck these fucking assholes!

ICE agent in Keys pulled over in DUI asks arresting deputy: ‘Are you Haitian?’ The ICE agent’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, arrest report shows.

Thank goodness again for body camera footage!
“A U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent arrested in August on suspicion of driving drunk questioned the nationality of a sheriff’s deputy and threatened to check the deputy’s immigration status, according to newly released body-camera footage.”

Billionaires are robber barons who rob you. For most of history, rich people could do whatever they want, and they robbed the weak with impunity.

A brief excursion into human history explains US Trumpism quite aptly.

"Social media regulation took far too long to arrive, and even then, it came in an imperfect form. But governments don’t appear ready to grapple with the reality that chatbots and image and video generators are speedrunning the harms caused by social media."

The carceral state is generally brutal and evil in the way it treats the human beings it cages, but it’s fine to point out when there are bursts of unusually concentrated or vigorous evil and use it to get people to care.

Yeah I’m not sure all the consolidation in the industrial base has been great.

Oh no I don’t think the Zumwalt was a bad program. I do think it’s funny that the main gun was too expensive to fire though and it seems like the platform had too many requirements.

😫

The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

I’m with you there! Also PEO SHIPS should do better…

Politicians are listening to the military, but only one what more stuff they want, not on what stuff they don’t.

Much of the Pentagon budget is a jobs plan, not a National Defense plan. GOFOs say all the time “I don’t need this” then the Hill puts more because jobs…

“Don’t protest.” Not great when federal law enforcement leaders start directly and openly denying the existence of the literal and explicit First Amendment.

Did it for 4 years. Progressives suck at it.

Don’t forget the little crappy ships that are almost exclusively being used for USCG mission sets and LIC but have the lifespan of a luxury sedan.

10% across the board cut by progressives is a terrible idea. Cut the Army/ICBMs and increase Navy/AAV in my opinion.

Been harping on this for YEARS, begging Democrats to FINALLY articulate which Pentagon budget items they think are necessary or not.

Seems Dems who know about the DoD budget want to increase it, possibly with the exception of Warren and Khanna. The ones who don’t never cite programs.

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago.

masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets.

this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

It's worth noting that they're only able to do this because they gerrymandered the state legislative seats 15 years ago so they have a permanent legislative supermajority (allowing them to overrule the D governor) in a 50/50 state
