If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. You don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation https://t.co/Vj3TKdVX6A

Yup. He’s up to 11 pounds. They have to transfer him to another hospital for because the current hospital he’s at cannot meet his complex needs. The family is 100% responsible for the cost even tho the state forced them to keep that poor woman “alive” as a human incubator. No

I’m calling it. Hegseth was absolutely in the room when the double-tap happened. All of this was deeply deceptive and evasive. He’s a horrible liar and this will come back to bite him sooner rather than later. I hope the Admiral lawyers up and tells the truth.

The essay discourse highlights a deeper problem in American democracy: many people no longer know what science is, how it works, or how to make or recognize a simple logical argument. I used to think people were being willfully blind. Now I think they’re just blind.

Here’s the thing: The first strike was obviously illegal too. Even if the boat had drugs on it, bombing it from the sky is a war crime. Duterte is literally in The Hague as we speak for doing this. The second strike is just more obviously illegal.

Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike. This is why you don’t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible

a single individual with the power to pardon any convicted criminal he wishes is a ridiculous policy for a democracy. the US is saddled with useless/stupid/destructive remnants of its past like the electoral college as well. until an actual criminal was elected to the presidency

Former US military lawyers speak out "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both" Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes

I served as a JAG on active duty for 4 years and in the reserves for 21. If the Washington Post report is true, then a war crime was committed. U.S. military cannot intentionally kill defenseless survivors. Simple analogy: Can military execute terrorists held at Guantanamo? NO.

AYFKM? This is why the admiral resigned. The law of the sea says anyone who has been sunk/shipwrecked is entitled to assistance. Once the boat was sunk, the Geneva convention says they have no capacity to fight. The restrike killing of two men holding onto flaming wreckage is

Campaigners for assisted suicide are fond of telling us it has "massive public support" I disagree & in my experience as an opponent of assisted suicide, the more people learn about the subject, the less they support it Have a look at my BBC documentary: https://t.co/KOoAi5mFz7

The SDA community mourns Alice Wong and celebrates her legacy. She has done so much to shape the disability justice movement internationally and our local Bay Area disability community. Read our full reflection here: https://t.co/8xHJq7sB51

I wrote an obit for @SFDirewolf @19thnews. https://t.co/Wjmmc7iSDi

Y’all need to fucking stop with this. Anyone doing this did not know Alice, and you’re doing nothing to help advance CC or disability justice. You’re hurting people who were actually friends with her. I know y’all are grieving, but those of us who knew her IRL are too. Stop.

When I ask friends how SF is doing under Lurie, by and large the ones that feel positive cannot point to anything he’s done that’s significantly different than London Breed. It always boils down to the vibes being better now. I’m sure it doesn’t sound racist in their heads.

No. children of drug addicts deserve food too.

It’s such a delight to have hated someone for a long time and then have that hatred affirmed.

Thanks for pointing this out Matt. I just updated my bio

None of this would be happening if the Confederates were punished properly
