Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime
LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.
Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.
So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

A masked ICE agent sprayed a woman protester point-blank in the face during a St. Paul, Minnesota raid.
It’s crazy how these masked ICE agents only get tough when it’s women in front of them.
Truly sad to watch

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?
