The American people should be screaming for accountability!</p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>As I've argued (with mixed success) on the other account, the Trump regime "Signalgate" scandal has political relevance for folks who want this fascist government to fail, even if you, like me, do not give one flying fuck about "national security." Trump's warmonger division willfully broke multiple laws, got caught lying about it, and currently look incompetent enough that they'd struggle to run a taco stand, let alone a government. This isn't breaking news to anyone who has been paying attention, but it has inspired the larger liberal establishment to finally make *some* effort to push back against the Trump regime, and I'd rather have them doing that than meekly accepting the boot; which is precisely why the entire fascist manufacturing consent machine in and around TrumpWorld is flailing so hard to justify the regime's actions and make this go away.</p><p>For whatever value Signalgate does (or doesn't) have in slowing the Trump regime's agenda down however, I think it says a lot about why we're facing down a fascist government requested by roughly 75M voters, that the "national security" discussion has taken overwhelming precedence over acknowledging that the attack on Yemen itself was unconstitutional, and the leaks also reveal the administration confessing to a war crime. </p><p>1) <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-strikes-in-yemen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/us-strik</span><span class="invisible">es-in-yemen</span></a></p><p>A Reminder Amid Group Chat Outrage: US Strikes on Yemen Are Unconstitutional</p><p>"The advocacy groups Just Foreign Policy, DAWN, and Action Corps released a joint statement Thursday calling on Congress to take action to stop U.S. military action in Yemen by upholding "its sole authority to declare war under Article I of the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Resolution (WPR)."</p><p>The chat messages sent between officials including Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz stunned the public and Washington insiders this week because they had accidentally also been sent to Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, but the three groups pointed out that they also included an admission from Vance that the strikes were not defensive—contrary to claims by President Donald Trump."</p><p>2) <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/democrat-leaked-messages-show-waltz-admitting-to-war-crime-in-yemen-strike/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">truthout.org/articles/democrat</span><span class="invisible">-leaked-messages-show-waltz-admitting-to-war-crime-in-yemen-strike/</span></a></p><p>Experts: Leaked Messages Show Waltz Admitting to War Crime in Yemen Strike</p><p>"In an exchange after the strikes first hit, as shown in Wednesday’s leak, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz says that the U.S. had collapsed a building that one of their Houthi targets was supposedly inside, calling it “amazing.”</p><p>“Their first target — their top missile guy — we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and now it’s collapsed,” Waltz said. Per the screenshots, Vice President J.D. Vance responds, “Excellent.” CIA Director John Ratcliffe says, “A good start.” Waltz then replies with a fist emoji, a U.S. flag emoji and a flame emoji.</p><p>According to Yemen Data Project, the first strike killed at least 13 civilians and injured nine on the night of March 15, hitting north of the capital, Sanaa. Yemen Data Project says that this was the bombing deemed “excellent” by the vice president and “amazing” by Waltz.</p><p>The messages are “prima facie evidence of at least one war crime applauded by the people who conspired to commit it,” wrote Dylan Williams, Vice President for Government Affairs for the Center for International Policy (CIP), on social media."</p><p>To be clear, I'm not saying these crimes by the regime aren't at least coming up on the margins of the liberal establishment; I've seen a few Democrat politicians expressing these critiques, and brief discussions in even the mainstream corporate media have occurred around these topics. The problem is that the vast *majority* of people with a platform to bring these crimes to light simply don't care. We live in a society where illegal military actions based on the thinnest of pretexts, and war crimes against (particularly Muslim) civilian targets are so normalized that it just doesn't move the needle for a political and media establishment that helped normalize this monstrous shit in the first place. If you haven't figured out by now that one of major reasons the Trump regime is (mostly) succeeding in installing a fascist dictatorship in America, is the powers granted to the imperial presidency to protect "national security" and to fight a racist, quixotic "War on Terror," I'm going to have to ask you how long you've been in a coma. A society that empowers and tolerates crimes against humanity abroad under the auspices of "keeping us safe," is a society that will tolerate the same when their leaders invariably bring the violence back home. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Signalgate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Signalgate</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Vance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vance</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Yemen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yemen</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>War</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WarOnTerror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarOnTerror</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/murder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>murder</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaze</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Scandal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scandal</span></a></p>
