I spent too much time on Twitter. I take some solace that Elon spent too much money on it.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.
The word "eve" is doing a lot of work here in the Court's 'decision'

When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out.

I suggest the United States does the same.

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

I have to confess, I hate Pete Hegseth with a visceral sort of feeling that is probably decidedly un-Christian.

I hate that he comes to a job where the lives of so many people depend on him with a smug arrogant overconfidence and incompetence, married to astounding callousness.

Yeah I could be wrong but it feels very much like a case of

"Journalist documents local corruption, where the corrupt people are blaming Amazon to avoid responsibility" -> "Editor makes the headline about data centers bc nobody will click on stories about local corruption"
headlines/social media getting their own story wrong and that driving responses.

Many such cases

Hard to overstate how damning it is they've spun their wheels trying to come up with their strongest possible argument and the best they can do, the rationalization for it Hegseth actually put in writing, is "we can kill shipwrecked survivors if they try to call for help."
2/ The Hegseth-approved contingency plan:

The U.S. military could try to kill shipwrecked survivors if "they took what the United States deemed to be a hostile action, like communicating with suspected cartel members."

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

The correct response to Yarvin’s word salad: WTH were you smoking?
It seems like in each age we are doomed to have a Guy who rises to 'intellectual' prominence simply on the thesis that "the people with wealth and power are actually better and deserve wealth and power" and yet Curtis Yarvin is somehow the dumbest of these guys yet to have arrived.
Curtis Yarvin, the pseudo-intellectual guru of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk and J.D.Vance, explaining how he was red-pilled by a neo-Nazi propaganda video on YouTube. Real deep stuff.

"Sec. Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen 'it was fake news - it didn't happen'. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

Trump calling immigrants garbage. Projection… not least because FOB Drumpf fled military service to start a house of ill repute out west.

Austria didn’t send its best.
Rabid, deranged racism.

But also projection.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.

They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.

The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

he doesn't even walk around the golf course, he rides. And he certainly is in "incredible shape" but not the way they describe it. Acting like we can't see how much trouble he has even keeping his eyes open is just bizarre.

“2nd boat strike”
I’m quite sure Hegseth is guilty of a war crime.
Unfortunately, I’m also quite sure that Admiral Bradley (and possibly those further down the chain of command) are equally guilty.
An Admiral in his position, with his knowledge and experience would have known the order was illegal.
