This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

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.

🚨This is gonna be what Walz is running against. The Strib will be all in on the “DFL=fraud” this entire cycle. What is the response? So far, there’s not one.🚨
The Minnesota Star Tribune has requested records of housing stabilization providers after the FBI searched several offices last summer.

A state agency subsequently suspended the entire Medicaid-funded program but declined to provide the records of the suspended providers.
Minnesota can release records on Medicaid providers accused of fraud — but won’t
The Legislature allowed a state agency to provide the records, but it has rebuffed requests from the Minnesota Star Tribune.

What happens when your landlord is private equity? A tale from Detroit:

❌Unfair evictions
❌Unsafe, unheated, and deteriorating homes
❌Your home is a digital cryptocurrency “token” sold to investors worldwide

Housing should not be a speculative investment but a public good.

It’s hard to afford your life when your landlord is illegally coordinating with their rivals to keep your rent as high as possible.

I will keep fighting to end these unjust practices and to make the market fairer for renters.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Since contrarianism is the watchword of the media, one might get the idea there is a racist backlash amongst young people. But that’s not true, it’s the contrarians and media who have the problem.

The kids are alright.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

In a world of Chuck Schumers, choose to be a Floyd B. Olson.
The workers had an ace in the hole: Governor Floyd Olson. Hormel naturally expected Olson to send in the National Guard to get rid of the strikers. After all, that had been standard procedure for strikebreaking for decades. But Olson refused.
