But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crime—murder—whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

so sad. inexcusable that parents are in this position.
I live in Minnesota.
I’m going to my kid’s school when it lets out today. Parents are making sure kids get safely to buses and cars so they get home.
We’ll be filming.
We’ll be there to protect our children from our government. It’s come to that.
I expect it will be a huge crowd.

The US empire can’t keep the lights on, can’t deliver healthcare, can’t stop mass shootings, can’t pass a budget without hostage-taking—yet it claims a mandate to “fix” other societies with bombs. That’s not governance; that’s imperial malpractice dressed up as “responsibility.”
