I missed the story about how our necrotic, rapidly decomposing husk of a president rode his fucking limo into the reflecting pool so he could "inspect" it from the back seat.

1/2 ICE put a vulnerable asylum seeker out into the cold. She sat at a bus stop for days. Now her death is ruled a homicide. A government powerful enough to detain someone is powerful enough to keep them alive. This wasn’t bureaucracy. It was abandonment with a body count.

If true, I have serious concerns about this being a war crime. Under the laws of armed conflict: Proportionality: the military advantage has to outweigh the anticipated civilian harm. Hard to see what military advantage would outweigh robbing 20k people of drinking water.
