    can’t just randomly kill people.

    I think they’re trying to set the precedent that they can just kill people.

    Now it’s “drug runners” from Venezuela in international waters. Soon it’ll be “domestic terrorists” in international waters. Eventually it’ll be “domestic terrorists” on US soil if we let them.

      I mean it’s true that it’s just more noise in the horror show that remains of American democracy. It’s difficult to focus on yet one more fascist action, far from home

      they don’t need domestic terrorist excuse. Ice just knocked down all the private resident doors of a large apartment complex because they claimed criminals were somewhere in the building. Took everyone indiscriminately and took property because. why not. whose gonna stop them. Lets be clear. This justification can be. There is a criminal in a neighborhood so break all the private residence doors down and grab everyone and steal their shit. They let you go later but they don’t repair your door or return you property.

      Last I heard China’s setting the precedent for mass murdering anyone they don’t like in their or neighbouring countries, America’s lagging behind - they’re not even at ‘arresting political opponents’ yet
