~15 declarations were filed overnight in #JGGvTrump. You can read them in the latest filing. The sworn declarations are from attys whose clients were not gang members but because #Trump suspended #HabeasCorpus / #DueProcess under the #AlienEnemiesAct they were scooped up by #ICE, flown to a country w/which they had no association & thrown into a high max forced labor #terrorist detention center. All had complied w/ #immigration #law & had pending hearings seeking #asylum.

"These were attempted #terrorist attacks against #America.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine in February 2022, #Russia has attacked the #UnitedStates and #Europe on a near-daily basis using what are often referred to as “hybrid” operations, meant to hide the hand of the #Russian government and to remain below the threshold of #war so as not to trigger a response."

#Trump has cited #DrugTrafficking from #Mexico as one of the factors driving the… #tariffs. His admin has taken a number of steps to push back on the #cartels, including designating 7 of the #criminal groups as foreign #terrorist organizations. That move could result in penalties, including #criminal charges, for companies found to be entangled w/the cartels, but it has also raised concerns from the Mexican govt of a potential violation of Mexico’s #sovereignty.

You don't know what #Hamas or #terrorism are, and you seem to be very out of touch with #humanity or you have a very narrow definition of who counts as human?

About 7 countries regard "Hamas" as a terror group. Most of humanity – including many people in those countries, including me – don't regard a doctor connected to Hamas as a terrorists.

It would not be valid to target an Israeli medic for being a member of #Likud (a direct descendant of the #Irgun and #Lehi #terrorist groups) or an #IDF reservist, or even a military medic, because all medics are forbidden as targets, regardless of political affiliation, and even if they are medics in the military.

There is actually nothing wrong with doctors being connected to Gaza government. Somewhere like #ShifaHospital was a government hospital. It's entirely normal and expected for doctors there to be connected to Hamas, that doesn't mean it's a terror facility, that means it's a goddamn public hospital. It was run in cooperation with the PA in Ramallah, but at times Fatah affiliates were discouraged from working there by #Abbas

#Hamas were severely over due for an election, but less over due than Abbas. When Hamas' Change and Reform list won the election, Israel (seemingly determined to maintain their status as the only country who are allowed to have a democracy in the Middle East) declared the entire electoral list a terrorist organization, which included at least one Christian. The Change and Reform Christian won the Christian reserved seat in #GazaCity on the Hamas list. Maybe Americans hate #Hamas for doing #DEI that favours #Christians ?

Also, for a bit of perspective on whether "member of ruling party" says much about a doctor's allegiance or character, Dr Li Wenliang – the infamous COVID whistle-blower – was a member of the #CPC (aka CCP) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55963896 but strangely, despite claiming to be communist, China has even less public health care than most liberal countries, but that's also another story.

Two Good Reads.

"Musk’s anger at federal regulators powered his dedication to the wilding spree...

the plain facts of what both pieces describe make clear that the best conceptual model for #DOGE is something between an #InsiderThreat action and a #terrorist operation. The emphasis on secrecy, misdirection and illegality is all there, the focus on seizing control of central nodes of #power & destroying things"

In the #TPS termination notice, #KristiNoem argued that #Venezuelans no longer needed protection, in part because there had been “notable improvements in several areas such as the economy, public health, & crime.

[ & yet #Trump literally designated the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang a Global #Terrorist Organization TODAY!!!]

The lawsuit notes that Venezuelans cannot return home safely.

#JDVance also decried the mass migration into #Germany & #Europe in 2015, tying it to #terrorist crimes, including a car attack in Munich on Thursday by an Afghan #asylum seeker, which injured 30 people.

“Over the span of a decade, we saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city,” he said.

#Republicans frequently refer to illegal #immigration as an invasion & portray migrants as dangerous criminals & "military-aged."

The #Trump WH said on Jan 20 that it was beginning a process to designate criminal cartels & gangs, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, as #terrorist orgs & to use the #AlienEnemiesAct to #deport alleged gang members.

Here's the video I promised of Christ Christie blasting #DonnieDumbass for threatening to fire #FBI agents who investigated him for the #Jan6 #terrorist attack he instigated:

"None of these agents T**** is threatening to fire volunteered for the job."

Then reveals an enlightening (and unsurprising) conversation he had with #DonTheCon in 2010. (4min)

For 2 hrs, incoming Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, Gov #KristiNoem & other intended #Trump’s cabinet members hashed out roles & responsibilities in event of a #crisis — splitting time between a hypothetical #BirdFlu outbreak & a hypothetical #terrorist attack in NOLA—as outgoing #Biden ldrs shared lessons & guidance from real experience. #NationalSecurity ofcls…characterized the exercise,…a required part of presidential transition, as essential prep to ensure govt is ready for an #emergency Day 1.
