The reason Trump is claiming it’s an armed conflict is he wants to designate these victims as “unlawful enemy combatants,” a throwback to Bush/Cheney.

You’re parroting Admin talking points & giving legitimacy to a farce.

I know it’s sexy to throw around “war criminal,” but stop. It’s dangerous

Under the Geneva Conventions, a non-international armed conflict is an armed conflict occurring in the territories of signatories to the Conventions. Think civil wars.

🧵Your reading of this letter lacks context into what’s driving the release of this statement & what the Geneva Conventions means by “non-international armed conflict,” which is what the Admin is claiming it is. Spoiler: it’s not a non-international armed conflict www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Love that idea.

Really? How so? People haven’t even woken up yet.

Yeah, for sure. But, he does seem sharp! I am happy he is running. Just hope he’ll consider grooming a successor.

I hear you. But, I’m not even thinking about weakening cognitive functions; although that might be a concern in his 80s which he will be in a second term. I’m concerned about physical health and the potential of him passing away in a second term.

Important, for sure, tho it’s almost the least of our worries. We’ve heard little from Senior Dems abt labor solutions and environmental concerns. You know who we’ve heard from on these issues? Marjorie Taylor Greene, Marsha Blackburn, Josh Hawley, Rand Paul, Cynthia Lummis etc.

For sure! Or, Josh Stein!

If it was a deep blue state, I’d probably be less concerned. But, if he dies in office with a Repub Gov, we’re kind of fucked.

Hahaha nobody beat Chuck Grassley!

I agree. He’s a great choice. I’m just saying, I hope he only stays in for one term.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social please please please! 🙏

AG Tish, please prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell. 🙏

I’m happy we’ll likely pick up a red seat. That said, it sucks he’s gonna be 70. I hope he doesn’t try to stay for more than 1 term.
