the way nothing is happening as the president blows people up in the ocean is steadily untethering me. people on the television every day saying "this is murder" as it continues to happen and the senate slowly lurches toward having a committee meeting. it feels impossible

It tried to kill me but I have finished the book. Second pass pages read through, final copy and line edits done.

Please read my book. I worked very hard on it. 😭 (Also read Legendborn, as you can see from the background, I’m a fan)

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Call me a bad parent all you want but I need these children out of my house tomorrow. We did Thanksgiving. We went to THREE museums this weekend. We cut down and decorated a Christmas Tree. Aside from the brief 9 hours they sleep, they have been with us all day for 5 days straight. I am TIRED.

Yeah but they still haven't figured out a mechanism and that's gotta be making them pretty nervous at this stage
They’re hoping to be done with those messy old elections by the time Trump goes.

Perfect natural experiment. If Biden and Congress had treated the Jan 6th insurrection like the treason it was and jailed the people behind it, Trump’s power would have shriveled on the vine.

Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense:

"Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense.
...
It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"
‘We Intended the Strike to Be Lethal’ Is Not a Defense | National Review
The laws of war, incorporated in the federal war crimes statute, prohibit the killing of people who have been rendered hors de combat.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Actually, leftover scumbags from the NIXON administration.

Cheney, Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Kissinger, all should have died in prison at a bare minimum. The George W Bush administration would never have even happened if we didn't let this nest of fascist ratfuckers fester.
The main reason we're in this situation is a bunch of war criminal shitbags from the Reagan administration paved the way for fascism.

And the best thing you can do is ask the grunts not to follow illegal orders. What about your part of the bargain?

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.

But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.

When are they going to learn?
