Straight-up murder. The President is immune. The Admiral isn’t. The advisor isn’t. The button-pusher isn’t. They should be charged and tried.

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
May his memory be for a blessing. Fight Nazis wherever you find them.
Our country is being run by criminals and traitors. This is not an exaggeration. It is declarative fact. Why are we not all in the streets?
If you work for Harvard University, you should quit on principle. Like the New York Times. Same same.
Harvard sucks and should go out of business.
Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.
Stop acting like this guy is a king.
They’re probably just mad at me for cancelling my subscription.
Gated article but found details elsewhere. Looks like straight-up murder to me. Can’t see a single reasonable justification for pulling a trigger in the situation as described in the media. (Which could be wrong, which is why we have trials.)
Interesting article. What it doesn’t say: their aggressive anti-gun policing in majority-Black D.C. shows that rights are for white people. Team Trump will never miss a chance to show their racist hypocrisy, even with the Second Amendment. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/01/n...

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani was in a serious car crash in New Hampshire, was taken to the hospital, and is expected to recover.
Millions of people in the streets, Kai. A general strike.
Look at this Nazi bullshit. Coming soon: labor camps. Resist. Resist. Resist.
Every authoritarian regime that embraced this aesthetic inflicted violence and chaos on its society
I’m going to sign an Executive Order making myself two inches taller.

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
Nice of them to report on their work.
Losing issue. Move on to what we can win on: Epstein, tariffs, domestic use of military.
She was a traitor shot attempting to overthrow the US government. This revisionism is as vile as its proponents.
I could not have put it better...
Nice look for New York. The Nazis are Yankees fans.
Cardle 1/5 Streak 1🔥 Total Score 15 🟢 🟢 🟢 I mean, I’m pleased with myself, but that was kind of “can’t miss.”
You can’t win by enough. Good luck!
Do not waste energy on gun control. It’s not going to pass, and it will only energize the opposition. Focus on Epstein, militarization, tariffs - the issues on which dear leader and his cohort are vulnerable among MAGAts.
The more I learn about this Flynn guy, the less I care for him.
PAY ATTENTION.
I know. You get it, and I get it. It’s just that maga will fixate on the gun. Oh well.
Terrible headline. Do better, WBZ.
He wants a civil war. He’s pushing for it. He won’t stop until he gets it.

They’re just straight-up murdering people. It’s indefensible.
I spent an hour train ride today reading about the guilty verdicts of Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials and the preparations for their executions by hanging. How was your day?
They should also then arrest people who desecrate the US flag like this. There are hundreds of thousands of them out there.
He’s not doing it right, because he’s using the wrong rifle. That’s an AK, when he should be using an AR. I’m not joking. It’s the sort of mistake that alienates the people he’s trying to attract.
Worst Chief Justice, All Time. That will be his historical legacy.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
The NYT collaborates. It should suffer the consequences. Cancel your subscriptions.
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
This captain in the National Guard has an urgent warning for National Guardsmen who are being deployed and used as Gestapo pawns in the authoritarian dictator-wannabe's fascist power grab. 😳👇
Nazis *and* thieves. Lovely.
Took me all the guesses to get the model name right. No wonder they died. (Recomment trying to avoid a spoiler.)
Of course, if the Trumps just took the shares themselves, it wouldn’t be for public use. Non-zero chance it was just theft.
Damn. The cops are doing it too? Outrageous.
Well, there goes decades of earned goodwill from much of the American public. The Coast Guard is disgracing itself. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Agree 100%.
Stop it, you arrogant bastard. The wealth narrative about Posh Kraft is not false. It is accurate. Exhibit 1: trotting out the state’s most famous billionaire to speak in his favor. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/22/m...
He might not be wrong, but he’s definitely a chickenhawk.
@massgovernor.bsky.social @mayorwu.boston.gov What are you doing *now* to stop his putting military on Boston streets? Don’t let him use the MA National Guard & prep to stop out-of-state national guards. Have a plan. The South didn’t get to Boston in 1865. Don’t let them now.
Vile bigotry.
He ruins everything he touches.
He can’t win by enough. Mamdani for Mayor!
Buried lede. The story is the racist insult. “Unlike Mayor Wu, I was born and raised in Massachusetts, I grew up in Boston, and I know what a safe Boston looks like, and this isn’t it,” [acting director Patricia] Hyde said.” Of course Hyde grew up here. Probably throwing rocks at Metco buses.
This one only merits méthode champenoise.
What good news! He was a horrible person and the world is better off without him.
Professor, your taking the literal approach to this issue -seeking an answer in the letter of law- glosses over what’s really happening: the militarization of the center of government. It’s nice to find solace in the laws we (used to) have. But the fascists don’t follow them. Wake up.
…are excellent. I appreciate the clarity, and that you leave out a lot of excess macho verbiage that characterizes so many such articles.
“He has always demanded the highest ethical and legal standards….” 😂
He seemed like a nice man. That’s a loss to R.I.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been reading a lot of firearms reviews in the past year. I think yours And now I’m kind of interested in an FN 5-7. But $.50/round at best where I am. Good for zombies. Worried about over-penetration in normal defensive contexts. Looks fun!
Possible FB groups: “Obscure Ammunition Fans” “Our Calibers Are Weird” “Math and Bullet Design” 5.7!? I mean, I’ve always wanted an FN, but I think I’ll start with a 9mm. No judgment. Just teasing.
Hey Trump, black people built America. Not by choice. They were kidnapped, imprisoned, abused, raped, beaten, and forced to do it, by the sword and the gun, and the lash. It’s an horrific part of human history that a lot of people still don’t know. Museums should focus on it. And Epstein.

This is full-on authoritarianism. Free Nicole Collier. #txlege
JFC. Cowardly, lying, narcissistic psychopath.
Oh, that was more rhetoric than literal truth. It is more accurate to say that I don’t like the implementation of the bike lanes around the city.
It’s almost as if the racist Southerners who tried to destroy the union in the 19th century have just inbred for generations, waiting their chance.
That’s such a good photograph, it brought tears to my eyes, and I don’t know any of those people. We Jews say, “may his memory be for a blessing.” I’m going with that.
Thanks for this marvelous happy story that made my day.
I hate bike lanes, but I’m still voting for Mayor Wu. Wu for Mayor. No more billionaires.
Every caring Governor and Mayor in America must unite in action. Our Mayor Wu of Boston is on that team. No fear!
More: abolish ICE and prosecute agents who violate the law.
“Promoted” is the word you are looking for.
Cowardly racists openly violating the Constitution. They should be stopped.
Jalpa? Never been in one. Is cooler now than then, maybe.
Shoved. Shoved hard to the left.
Maybe increasing crime? They seem to violate the law rather a lot.
*Truro, but, yes, I hear good things.
They are eagerly waiting for the very first act of violent resistance. We must resist by the millions, peacefully.
While correct as a matter of a 1A case law, rights are only rights when the government respects them. This President ignores the Constitution. Impeach, convict, remove.
They’d have to google it.
The WWII thing is 100% about hating Jews.
Collaboration Complicity Whitewashing Greed Common thread: NYT. Stick your puzzles in your fascist-enabling ear, you corporate tools.
Please: DO NOT NORMALIZE OR EXPLAIN AWAY ARMED MILITARY ENGAGED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AN AMERICAN CITY. If it doesn’t seem that off base or unusual to you, perhaps it’s because you are not the target of this.
I started out thinking it would be beach point, but it isn’t. So I’m going to suggest somewhere around Great Hollow. If I spent more time zooming in on the foreground, I could narrow it down. Anyway, we spent the evening on Corn Hill. Happy summer.
This is fascism, folks.
Border Patrol has always been his personal security force. They were the first of the federal LEOs to become Gestapo.
This is why the grand jury is enshrined in the Constitution. So we can stand up to tyrants.
Those guys are a disgrace to federal law enforcement. It was a sandwich, ffs. Cowards.
Concur entirely.
Tuberville is first, right? Tough contest.
It has to be blackmail.
