"Violence and stochastic terror remain the weapons of choice for MAGA. For the past 10 years, Trump’s supporters have engaged in threats and assaults against the media, judges, law enforcement, teachers, poll workers, and Democrats."

(Sorry that I inadvertently tied a thread about Israel-Gaza to this one):

"Blackhawk helicopters, drones and armed agents launch a middle of the night raid on a residential building in a U.S. city, engaging in warrantless mass arrests.

Boats in international water more than 2,500 miles from the United States targeted by the military—killing all on board.

"Judges have warned that with each new military deployment on U.S. soil, we inch closer to martial law, even as the White House brands its own Trump-appointed judges as 'insurrectionists.'

This is not normal. It cannot be normalized."

"He’s also bombing vessels in international waters — killing people whom he claims, without evidence, are smuggling drugs into the United States.

Meanwhile, much of the federal government is shuttered. Republicans in Congress are AWOL. Democrats in Congress are trying to use their limited leverage to get health insurance back for some 20 million Americans.

"He’s also defying a federal court. He’s ordering federal troops to forcefully occupy an American city whose mayor and governor don’t want him to. He’s already causing people — some of whom are American citizens — to be arrested and detained without due process."

On the subject of the alleged "Narco-terrorists" bombed by US Naval forces: since they were being tracked and observed, why didn't the U.S. government simply follow them until they reached U.S. soil, have them arrested, their boat confiscated, and the purported drugs displayed for all to see?
