Anyone taking money to build or run concentration camps, or takes money to support ICE is a fucking Nazi and deserves to have their lives ruined.
Find these people and publicly shame and humiliate them.

I know this is correct, but it’s also really hard to sit with when those of us who STUDIED FUCKING HISTORY WERE SOUNDING THE ALARM THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE GUANTANAMO OPENED UP AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Pete Hegseth committed a war crime and then doubled down.
He instructed the military to murder civilians at sea and when there were injured victims he gave the order to kill them all.
Surviving victims were brutally dismembered at sea by US missiles.

This is actually a relevant factor here: it's been pretty clear SOUTHCOM, whose commander resigned, has been pushing back, at least somewhat. They're putting it under the operational command of SOCOM specifically because that's the most already rotten place you'll find people happy to do crimes.
Why do you need Seal Team 6 to blow up a fucking boat?
This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.
