Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing about my friend and colleague Professor Kimuli Kasara. She was a brilliant scholar and a bright, funny, warm person. I remember first meeting her as the only other Black woman/faculty at the Columbia political econ seminar and feeling relief/happiness

At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

But now there are respectable white people who pride themselves on not getting involved in politics who are going nuclear. They see themselves in RNG.

To succeed, Trump needed lots of respectable white people to at least stand by quietly while his shock troops re-whited America. To succeed, he needed them to say to themselves no matter how bad it gets, it won't really affect me.

Don't underestimate the impact of Renee Nicole Good's murder on respectable white people, which is to say, that great globular middle of American politics. Before, it was possible to pretend Trump's crimes couldn't touch them. Now, they're doubting whether their own local cops will protect them.

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better."

Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity.

Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.
