A fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month is among the more than 60 people killed since early September when the U.S. military began attacking boats Trump alleges were smuggling drugs
Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

CNN, NYT, AP, and other media orgs literally have interviewed families of people killed in Caribbean boat strikes, including some who say they were just fishermen.

Lies nested within lies, all in service of violating the laws of armed combat, for no evident national interest advancement at all.
Cotton on Trump's boat strikes: "Use common sense. If any of these had been boats full of fisherman or refugees, CNN would've already been on the ground & interviewed all their families & told their stories. We can be confident all of these strikes have been against cartel-based drug traffickers."

The House voted 426-0 against senators like Lindsey Graham getting a payout from taxpayers for being investigated. A huge, unanimous rebuke of Graham & Thune.
House unanimously rebukes Thune’s controversial subpoena measure
Every House Republican voted to overturn a provision that was seen as an unseemly payout to their Senate colleagues.

Ken Burns’ documentary did mention Washington’s decision to inoculate the troops, but it missed a tremendous opportunity to talk about how inoculation, and public health generally, was being discussed as both a duty of government and a right of the people. It wasn’t just a smart tactical move.
George Washington’s surgeon general Dr. John Morgan wrote in his 1776 “Recommendation of Inoculation” that denying inoculation was a “violation of the natural rights of mankind” and every government has a duty to “provide for the safety of its members by rendering [it] as universal as possible.”
Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria

I’m confused, isn’t a lesson of any genocide to take the side of the victim
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."
