Ex-official explained this in a way that will stick with me forever: Within fire departments, the EMTs are overworked and underpaid and don’t have time to advocate for policy. The fire chiefs, on the other hand, have a lot more time on their hands. So fire response, not medical, dictates policy.

People refused to go easily with any order. You want us to move back? You’ll have to make us. Even the tiniest thing, like adjusting a barricade to latch into another one, was met with enthusiastic resistance. Cop pushing a barricade into people? Barricade gets pulled away from him.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

When a state uses deadly force abroad in ways that blatantly violate the laws of armed combat, that is a war crime. There does not need to be an official declaration of war or large-scale combat operations for there to be war crimes. Deliberate use of deadly force is inherently an act of war.
