The reason I want to see Secretary Hegseth and Admiral Bradley charged with murder, based on what we know, isn't because I hate the US military. It's because I served in the US military and respect it, and want to see its honor restored.

The advice you get when you’ve been single for a long time and would like a partner is so wild, like, you should put yourself out there but also love comes to people who aren’t looking for it and just have a social life and you’ll find someone but make sure you go somewhere where you’ll find singles

Very strong piece by Jack Goldsmith:

“But there can be no conceivable legal justification for U.S. Special Operations Forces kill[ing] the survivors of a first strike on a drug boat off the coast of Trinidad who ‘were clinging to the smoldering wreck.’”

I don’t really understand “they don’t complete any work or engage with the class, but still receive a high grade”

I’m a layperson but I was a student in blow off classes before. If a student can get away with this, I think it might be an issue with your course design.
We keep adjusting our goalposts, trying to meet students where they're at--but for some, that place is a kind of non-place, where they don't complete any work or engage with the class, but still receive a high grade. Emails are ignored. They can't meet a deadline or keep an appointment.

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

Tom is right that the ICC is bad.

We don't relinquish or delegate our sovereignty to anyone for anything. There is no higher law in the land for Americans than American law.
Tom would like to remind you that political imagination ought only be limited to what he thinks is reasonable.

You as the reader are left to decide whether or not his past track record of political imagination is either useful or realistic based on his previous positions.
Dear Fellow Americans:

Please stop thinking about the ICC.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It sucks that they’re using the military to murder noncombatants and this needs to be reined in before the atrocities come home to our streets thanks

So Ukraine can get rid of their scheming viziers in the middle of an existential conflict but we still have to listen to Stephen Miller’s daily renditions of the Nuremberg Rally.

This is such bullshit.

Hegseth should be removed and all involved should face justice

Pete must be held accountable. This is not the opinion of some reactionary lib. I get accused all the fucking goddamn time of being the mainstream.

People need to be adjudicated for this. There are ideals of what an American thinks they are that have been violent violated here.

We demand justice.

Along with the obvious implications of what amounts to a “no quarter” order by Hegseth and compliance by the commanders of JSOC and SEAL Team
6, it’s important that @alexhorton.bsky.social and Ellen Nakashima have nailed down those organizations in particular as the ones leading the boat strikes.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

If Ukrainians can take prisoners even after getting grenades chucked at them from a foot away, I’d expect the “premier” command of the United States military to do the same so yes

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

One time I saw a distinguished British historian playing with his small child, who was doing finger guns. He put his arms up and the boy - who was about six - went "bang!" and he very seriously explained that you must never shoot a prisoner.
Regarding the latter, one could argue there is a level of seniority below which it is not reasonable to expect service members to exercise their own judgement about that.

But the former—*everyone* knows that kind of order is illegal and must be refused. This is basic-training-level stuff.
Refusing to follow a “kill the survivors of the previous strike who are clearly hors de combat” order SHOULD BE significantly more clear-cut than refusing one due to “this entire operation is unlawful because citing inherent Article II authority is insufficient.”

There must be accountability.

It is likely just as important that AFTER this first murderboat (where Whiskey Pete personally ordered two survivors be murdered), there were two strike where survivors were left alive.

Miller and his cabal of criminal toadies are turning us into a rogue nation whose foreign policy is guided not by the rule of law, or even national interest, but a lurid vision of society as a constant struggle between the white man and the subhuman races, against which all violence is permitted

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America
