"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Invaluable work here. I would not have known what to do last year or would’ve had to do hours upon hours of research. Injustice Watch just skeets it out. Really awesome stuff.
As we work on our next judicial election guide, we want to hear from you: What should voters know about these attorneys and judges? If you recognize any of these names, send us your tips. buff.ly/DlOqYRA

How disappointing to hear so many people explain that Fani Willis should be held to the highest of standards (which I guess they are perfectly willing to let the Trump legal team set) with nary a word on what standards the President of the United States should be held. Shameless but expected.

Guys ai is really bad at conversations.
Talking about the weather is lame, talking about your favorite music, art literature might have a better shot. Saying hey on social media is not like saying hi in the world.
