“we failed a veteran” is the ultimate story here and if I were a soldier currently being asked to do war crimes on Trump’s behalf I would consider this instructive

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?
And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

Pete Hegseth And Adm. Mitch Bradley Belong In Prison
The South American boat strikes are plainly murders. Now we have the names of the murderers. Do we have the political will to lock them up?

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Just got my ARCs for my novella BODIES OF WORK. It’s a serial killer story (or is it?), it’s a ghost story (or is it?), it’s a story about our innate need to create art (or… not), it’s a story about storytelling… and it’s an homage to my favorite folk artist (or is it?). April ‘26 from Titan Books.

If you're looking at Bluesky on the web and not on the app, is there a way to get it to load new posts as they appear, or automatically refresh every so often? Or another web-based service (like Tweetdeck) that does that? Using Safari on Mac if that matters.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

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."

we don't have to go full butlerian yet, but what if we made impersonating a human with a machine a felony with a life sentence. no social media bots, no automated support lines, etc.
It’s cool how everything is like this now. It’s just the worst people on earth armed with a few hundred dollars of AWS credits and an off the shelf LLM to scream in your replies and grievance police lol.

This one is complex enough that I am providing a key to how it's structured, similar to those keys you see that show how a Talmud page is divided up. See the alt for the explanation.

The article is trash, especially because it doesn't say out loud what's happening: trmp plans to unilaterally start a war. He's demanding that the leader of a foreign country abdicate and, regardless, invade that country. This is illegal on SO many levels. There isn't even a pretext!
