The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismissed
Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

Days after Donald Trump fell asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting, the president on Thursday again dozed off during a ceremony to mark the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Hegseth's "fog of war" claim is nonsense, if this account of what video shows is correct: The two men obviously were visible.
Tom Cotton's claims also in doubt: Rep Smith says drugs not visible. The decision that the men were still in the fight looks very shaky:

TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Also: I’m fairly sure that last year they were just FREE, no purchase required. They got stingy.

My insurance requires me to check in monthly with a nutritionist in order to get one of my meds.
In October and November, the one I’ve been talking to for over a year did not respond to my messages. She always has before.

Remember the “where can we travel to get vaccines?” panic earlier this year and we made noise and it was all fine?
1. That’s probably because they were too chaotic to figure out how to do this very bad thing.
2. You both need to make all the noise in the world -and- start figuring out your plan B

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Isn’t it funny how long this has been a discussion people been trying to bring to the front, esp Black activists in the south? Southern activists in general?
The GOP redistricted their way into winning.
TX was already ridiculous. Every time I see the 35th district… POC are trapped here.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the old saw that we get more conservative as we age and wondering whether what that really means is not so much that you go backward, but that you refuse to evolve as the world moves forward without you. Hillary is who she always was, but we have WILDLY outgrown her
God, same. I was a white, progressive, democratic person who identified as a woman when she was big in the era of Our Next Hope for exactly my demographic. But good God has it not aged well. She is the worst. Part of it is my evolution and her lack of evolving.
