41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

This whole incident is revealing of the shamelessness of war propaganda under Hegseth. We now know that most of what was claimed by Hegseth about the Sep 2 strikes was untruthful, and was known by him to be a lie at the time. We're not in a war yet. They are lies designed to pave the way to war.
@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on the double-tap strike: "They released the first part of the video the next day. Hegseth played it on Fox News…They're releasing part of the video and not releasing the rest of it—what's the rationale for that except there's something they don't want us to know?"
