President Trump is killing civilians at sea. This is illegal and immoral.
This is literally happening every single day in ICs - DACA, VAWA, etc. for current minors as well.
Thank you - and TPS will end 17 March for Somalis. Noem/Trump's predicate for ending TPS for Hatians (flawed, unfounded, fabricated) is the same in Somlai TPS orders.
Is there a reason we aren't talking about that?
Somali TPS ends on March 17 - what is the plan to push back on this? Look, we are wasting tons of money on everything right now - and that includes funding Trump's DOJ and it's ludicrous mission to strip people of their very humanity www.cnn.com/2026/03/11/p...
Calling the Epstein Files a pedophilia ring lets society off too easy. What the Epstein Files reveals is the impunity of the elite class to do anything they want--though, on point of fact, most don't want to have sex with children.
@jasonhancock.bsky.social I'm not mad, I'm just...disappointed that you didn't immediately call me re: John refers to self in 3rd Person Diehl's situation. Of all the things this guy gets prison for COVID fraud? Not been a chronic sex pest? Can't wait for your prison interview.
Voter fraud is real. Consider the GOP in Woodbury County. Convicted. Fraud. GOP. Meh, right (this from 2024)

Consider how this dovetails into my ancient reporting (2021) when Woodbury County (also home to the largest voter fraud scandal in the country no one talks about because GOP jerks did it) investigatemidwest.org/2021/06/24/w... - it is all apiece. Except, I think Woodbury was $75/day....
Muscatine County’s detention of immigrants on behalf of the federal government has been the subject of at least five civil lawsuits and an alleged ethics complaint concerning the former County Attorney.

By design
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
Exhibit 1 million on how unserious and stupid Comer is. Yes, stupid.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
Will it impact the courts? Who knows. Doubt it. But - the US has rejected international norms for a very long time despite helping create those international norms. And, since US law doesn't bind Trump, then lets start mainstreaming IHL/IL. Just throw it all in there. Normalise it.
I like this. Let's mainstream IHL/IL into every single case brought against the lawlessness of the current US administration. Because in order to act as if law is a thing we have to talk about international law because it is a thing. It is codified in our statutes, customary, and US case law.

That makes two Iowans. Per the governor: "Major Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Waukee, Iowa, is among the six Army Reserve soldiers killed when Iran struck Port Shuaiba in Kuwait on March 1, 2026. All soldiers were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, Iowa."
In a bit of good news for the role of International Law and the ICJ - Iceland filed a declaration recognition of the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court this week.
Primary all of them. This illegal bullshit war must end now.
The correct name: Trump/Netanyahu War and it is already committing rampant war crimes.
Jesus. F'ing. CHRIST.
Shout out to @mississippifreepress.org because yall been doing the Lord's work. Support independent, fearless local journalism. @ashtonpittman.bsky.social had a heluva twitter thread about Farve: www.mississippifreepress.org/mfp-wins-ten...
get it...!
This. And - I keep screaming about TPS for Somalis expiring in about a week and a half. If the TPS expires ICE/CBP will show themselves in MSP/MN once again. Noem's rationale is predicated on bald faced racism. To send back families would be refoulment full stop. Are there any lawsuits in operation?
Senator, in less than two weeks, TPS for Somalis in the US will end. This must be stopped. It is of apiece w/Israel (and the US) recognition of Somaliland at the UN in December destabalising the region further. As you know, Yemen figures heavily here. TPS must not expire.
Warnings to citizens to evacuate 3 days into this war, when airspace is closed, is a clear sign of ZERO strategy and planning by the Trump admin.
Now Americans have limited options to evacuate at an extremely dangerous moment with no government assistance. This admin is failing its citizens.
The jury system is a bulwark against authoritarianism as much as journalism is the fourth estate. Juries make weird decision sometimes, don't always get it "right" however they are critical to a functioning society where justice is done but is also, say it with me, seen to be done.
The judges in WV have seen enough.
They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.
