It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

The DoD law of war manual explicitly states that firing on shipwrecked people is not only an illegal order but something every Navy personnel knows is illegal. It is the example of an order that should not be complied with. No ifs, ands, or buts.
It dovetailed with the freakout over the unlawful orders video, but also it is just qualitatively worse. It's absolutely a crime under all circumstances, even against a real enemy in a real war. And that has deep historical roots as *the* most notorious clear-cut war crime you can commit at sea.
Does anyone have a robust theory as to why the recent reporting on follow on strikes has galvanized this response and not you know the murders they were in the first order?

Pete Hegseth will face prosecution for real war crimes, not imagined ones, so there's no problem.
And come on, no one believes a podcaster is going to murder military police and martial court judges over one douchebag that's no longer in office.

Thread, on why we need specific (and realistic) goals for the Second Reconstruction.
And I think it doesn’t just motivate those who want to resist, but it silences the preemptive self-surrendering doomers, whose entire stock-in-trade is to equate their lack of vision w actual helplessness.

The weakness of Democratic (and lowercase-d democratic) rhetoric right now isn't, in general, that it lacks "we'll fight!" They say that a lot. It feels like insipid weak tea because it's so rarely followed up with specific goals and methods, what you intend to actually do in the face of the crisis.

This comes to mind because rhetoric about determination to fight can, on its own, feel hollow and unpersuasive, more like desperation. It has to come with some explanation of a plan to really win. Including that you respect people's intelligence enough to treat them as able to follow your reasoning.

In his "finest hour" speech, Churchill didn't just do grandiose defiance, he went on to explain "the solid, practical grounds" for continuing the war, and why "there are good and reasonable hopes of final victory." That part was just as important, and of course he was right about it all.
