Back when America was great, our Navy or Coast Guard would have stopped this little boat and taken the suspects into custody for trial. But now that we're a dictatorship...
The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) reposted
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

In the world of opera (with 400 years of success), it is normal and healthy to evolve the casting. For example, we don’t insist that castrati sing female parts. This is how arts with long traditions(like film now) evolve and remain alive and relevant. A movie isn’t a museum, after all.

Also important to (repeatedly) remind Americans that any funds he has “taken in” came from Americans — a new federal tax on American citizens, implemented without an legislation at all. And I thought the GOP members all signed some paper committing to opposing increased taxes…

He is, as others have pointed out, the sort of nutcase who, if you encountered him ranting in his usual manner on a street corner somewhere, would cause you to cross to the other side of the street or call for an intervention.

I applaud whoever decided (probably Miller himself) to have Stephen Miller act increasingly as “spokesman” for this Administration’s policies. He is so fundamentally repellent that I suspect even loyal MAGA adherents get the heebie-jeebies when they listen to him,& ask themselves, “Am I w/this guy?”
