It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I don’t talk about this publicly, but hegseth drives me out of my silence.
I attended West Point from 1998-2000. I left, along with about 5 other young women, as a direct result of the military’s then-shameful (non) policies addressing sex harassment and assault.

Klein’s entire political project has been problematizing minor transgressions of the left while insisting we excuse or valorize the cruelty of the right. Every few months he facilitates the ceding of more ground, assuring us it will protect whatever thing he will then insist we cede 3 months later.
Someday people will accept that Klein is a Republican who wants right-wing things to happen but politely

Justice-minded folks have a habit of fetishizing youth participation and throwing masses of activated young people at a problem while pledging support and having reverence in the background. This leads to most of those young people getting ground under and burned out and leaving the work w in 5 yrs.
