"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

This Week in Democracy – Week 59: An Illegal War Abroad, More Madness at Home Zeteo's weekly round-up, documenting the growth of authoritarianism in Trump's second term.

"From launching an illegal war with no clear strategy to obstructing a DHS inspector general, here’s what Trump and his allies did this week that harm democracy, undermine the Constitution, and hurt societies worldwide"

From Zeteo's 'This Week in Democracy':

American nurses leave U.S. for new lives on Vancouver Island A group of nurses who only a few months ago lived thousands of kilometres apart in the United States are now working side-by-side on Vancouver Island after leaving their lives south of the border behi...

American nurses leave U.S. for new lives on Vancouver Island

Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"

HUGE, IF TRUE

Remember the real enemies are the enemies within, not Russia or China!

And then eats a pint of ice cream.

Russia trying to kill Americans is just so ho-hum.

I'm glad Trump could get a break from creating a regional war. That can take a toll on a guy.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Jared Moskowitz criticizing FEMA under Secretary Kristi Noem, listing issues including the largest FEMA backlog in history, Florida being owed $2.5 billion, delayed disaster declarations, and search-and-rescue teams waiting 72 hours during Texas floods. Below is a video still of Moskowitz speaking during a congressional hearing.

Noem was a disaster at every level, from start to termination.

Screenshot of an X post by Jonathan Lemire reporting that when asked if Americans should worry about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledged the possibility and said some people will die when you go to war. Below is a photo of Trump wearing a red “USA” hat and pointing.

This is what he thinks of our safety and security.

I hate this!

I stepped outside onto the patio just to get an extra dose of that first feeling of Spring extended into evening to a riotous cacophony of peeper frogs, and relaxed for the first time in months

Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.

So, the administration is telling Iranians to take their country back and is also threatening to exterminate them. Good strategy, especially the advertising war crimes part.

They revel in sadism.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

‘It’s like the Day of Judgment out here.’ New England residents trapped in Middle East as war escalates. - The Boston Globe “There’s nothing you can do but just sit and pray and hope nothing happens,” said Hassan Mourad, who arrived in Beirut last week on business.

U.S. citizens are trapped in the Middle East with no clear information and no way out.

Donald Trump's response? “It happened all very quickly.”

This is a complete failure.

I'm pressing the Trump administration for a plan to evacuate Americans now.

It suddenly makes sense that Putin at first appeared to abandon his number 1 ally Iran. Only such a massive increase in the price of oil can save him form the mounting criticism he is surely facing from his failures in Ukraine

Our investor class also fundamentally lack the theory of mind required to go “hmm, but what if the other parties to conflict don’t WANT to let Trump end the war.”

I bet we can convince America’s horrible gas-guzzling pickup truck owners that skyrocketing gas prices are actually all part of Elon Musk’s devious plot to defraud red-blooded heterosexual Americans.

I believe in us.

folks, I’m beginning to think we don’t actually live in a meritocracy

Screenshot of an X post by the Democrats account showing a circular profile image of Kristi Noem with the hashtag “#OPENTOWORK.” Below it is another post stating that Trump has fired Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security.

As long as the job comes with her own private love jet.

Jack Dorsey is fundamentally not a very bright man

I’d say roughly certainty.

What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?

Great planning.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal says Republicans could fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard right now using $170B in the “big beautiful bill.” Instead, he says they’re “inflicting maximum pain” for political talking points while those agencies go unfunded.

We don't need to give the military any more money. Especially for an illegal war in Israel.

We can spend that money on housing, health care, education, and infrastructure.

We don't have to settle.
