Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
He correctly quoted what the two participants said. If you want more detail people need to watch the exchange - he’s not trying to transcribe the whole thing.
Many people realized Bier wasn’t endorsing the policy so Rupar’s text wasn’t “clearly lacking.”
A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
Yep, that’s what it’s called but sadly it doesn’t quite work that way. Watch the video. 🤦🏼♀️
Double downing on an uninformed opinion is neither admirable or helpful.
Luckily the video is mainly his testimony so you can listen to what he’s saying before you stand by your statement 110%
That’s why there is a partial government shutdown - Dems are trying to make the Feds be more accountable.
For goodness sake, watch the video. In essence there is no accountability for the federal agents who violate these rights & that’s the point of the post.
No, that’s the point of the video that you didn’t watch before you posted your comment.
MAGA Republicans wrote it. That’s what Dems are trying to change. Watch the video.
Rupar’s job doesn’t include spoon feeding adults capable of watching a 2 minute video. 🤦🏼♀️
MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?
BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.
It's kind of depressing how many persons reacting to this don't realize David Bier is taking the same side as Sen. Merkley, deploring the effective immunity that insulates ICE agents from accountability.

100%. Religious extremism is bad regardless of the religion.
We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

"Do you want to want for the party that wants to return to transgender mutilation surgery for children? These are the choices" -- with the economy reeling, Mike Johnson is leaning hard back into culture war issues
Miscalculation on several fronts:
- Response inside Iran
- IRGC crossing red lines, hitting all GCC
- Gulf not joining
- Economic toll heavy
Doesn’t mean regime is not weakened but expectations of this war have diminished from Graham’s “Make Iran Great Again” to how do we end it
NEW: Israel has concluded in #Iran war
• Regime change not an option
• Protests didn’t mobilize
• Kurdish option is no more
Result: Escalation of strikes as Trump looks for “elegant exit” and wait for next round www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...
As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

Nice sentiment but you can’t recall a senator - no mechanism for it. However, they can vote him out & you can help support his opponent. She seems like a great candidate.
If your business model doesn’t work without your company becoming an accessory to murder, then you are not in business.
You’re in organized crime.
