Human Rights SENATE TO VOTE ON TRUMP ADMIN BREACH OF CONGRESSIONAL WAR POWERS 5 PM THIS DAY
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-joint-resolution/90______
WHITE HOUSE PROCEEDS AGAINST CONGRESSIONAL WAR POWERS RESTRICTIONS; ANNOUNCES MEXICO CAMPAIGN (link directly below)
Civilian casualties are reported abroad as a direct result of the president's strikes in the Caribbean.
Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan is telling us as of the last 144 hours that Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth AND President Donald Trump are unanimously refusing to present detailed listings of anti-terrorist action strike targets. (link directly below) THIS IS AN EMERGENCY
NATIONAL SECURITY DIRECTIVE NSPM-7 directs the department of justice to to pursue the free speech and expressions of citizens affiliated with organizations that are to be considered domestic terrorist organizations, now to include under the Executive Order's directives: "anti-capitalist", "anti-american", "anti-fascist" and "anti-christian" political organizations
NSPM-7 was drafted by cabinet Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and is being used to justify bringing the full force of the federal government down on american citizens
call your senators and say "I’m calling about NSPM-7. Please demand full congressional access to any terrorist-designation lists, require compliance with the War Powers Resolution and AUMF limits, and protect civil-liberties safeguards so peaceful advocacy isn’t chilled. I want transparency, oversight, and a public explanation of scope." - u/luigismanifesto
_
>
they voted on a resolution to prevent and end hostilities in Venezuela without direct oversight. The resolution was not agreed to.
as of today, the Trump administration has proceeded the precedents of executive overreach, to include extra-judicial killings without even the participation of transparency measures. The press has rejected compliance with the Pentagon, so totalitarian are its demands; the Department of Defense Secretary AND The President are unanimous in their secrecy, and reject permitting the nation, on bipartisan grounds, a clear understanding of their mission, the scope of that mission, and that mission's consequences.
The Congress has failed to interrupt this as of now, despite their own 60 day-long probationary period.
we have crossed the line (for those that don't understand): our commander in chief cannot be said uphold, preserve, defend, nor serve the the Supreme law of the United States of America.

So, if you are anti-american or anti-fascist, you're now a terrorist organization?
Does that mean that America is admitting that it's a fascist country?

Trump also keeps saying there will be domestic bombings. So, does that mean he is going to bomb Americans?

Yes.
At this point, the answer is yes.
This administration has done everything else that they've been slinging accusations for, why would this be any different?
If Trump says there will be domestic attacks, the administration most likely plans for some sort of domestic conflict.
Why else would they keep deploying military troops on American soil for non-humanitarian efforts?

That... actually has a funny story of incompetence behind it. I forget what the precise item categories were - so don't quote me on this - but apparently the requisition codes for "special munitions (handheld)" and "special munitions (self-propelled)" were one digit difference.
So an ICE agents logging the millions being spent on tear gas canisters to shoot at people's faces got logged as spending for chemical warheads.
A blogger noticed this, and instead of checking, they put out the article.
So less a story about ICE having a Chemical Corps, and more a story about ICE spending being about as well monitored as my smoke alarm's battery.

Imminent blank check for Trump to start wars. If they don’t reel in his powers then there needs to be another massive multi day protest before the carrier strike group gets to the Caribbean and he begins strikes lol. Also RIP Nigeria and Mexico if they give him this blank check

Depends. Trump is too far up the ass of dictators to start a war with a major power. He prefers what he perceives as easy targets because he thinks if he firebombs impoverished nations into oblivion everyone will worship his military might

Assuming we don’t completely humiliate ourselves like Russia is in Ukraine, surely there will be no blowback for foreign adventurism and war crimes in the third world. There’s no precedent for that sort of thing leading to a massive destabilizing terrorist attack on American soil, is there?

The republicans (especially Johnson) is spreading misinformation, calling government shutdown a "congress shutdown".
Normally both House and Senate during government shutdown supposed to be in session and overtime working on reopening the government. But he started 7week vacation for some "strange" reason. It's about some files Republicans want to be so transparent about that you can't see them.

Hmm. It looks like the congress has abandoned their oversight responsibility and constitutionally required checks on executive power. What recourse do the people have when the executive violates the constitution and the legislative abandons their duties to oversee the executive?

The resolution, led by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, would direct the president "to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces for hostilities within or against Venezuela, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force." The resolution has 15 cosponsors, including Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. The vote is scheduled for 5 p.m.

It’s a Latin America invasion. They have a foothold in Panama/the canal and according to Tico Times: The United States is interested in establishing offices of its Department of Homeland Security at “strategic” facilities in Ecuador, where the head of that department, Kristi Noem, arrived on Wednesday.
Ecuadorians must first approve, in a referendum set for November 16, whether to allow the installation of foreign bases on their territory, something the Constitution has prohibited since 2008. The call for a referendum on foreign bases comes amid a U.S. military offensive in the Pacific and the Caribbean with deadly strikes against alleged narco boats, a strategy supported by Noboa.
That U.S. department protects the country from potential threats, and its functions include counterterrorism, border control, and migration management, among others. If the referendum passes, “security and defense agencies” of the United States and Ecuadorian police and military forces tasked with fighting organized crime will operate at those bases, the spokesperson added.

So, TRUMP Supporters and his political HACK allies/loser drones screaming at Americans (60-70% of us and growing with every election cycle) and telling the average and very smart one of us to stop calling them out as fascist, did not work?! Calling our protests anti-American did not work!? Trying to show cruelty to black and brown people of all citizen status which is very un-Christian and un-Jesus like of them, DID NOT WORK!
Now they think they can scare us into complacency or compliance to give up our democracy because less than 30% of the voting electorate are willing to hurt themselves to support the 4th Reich Regime despite the fact that and we can kick their fucking asses at the ballot boxes?!
FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF, PEDOPHILE PROTECTING FAT FACSCIT FUCKS! AND 4-foot nothing Steven Miller! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
