Faculty voted against this move almost unanimously. If we ever get free of this mess I hope it's clear that faculty and not administrators need to be in charge of the academy

Pete gone be in the part of the prison reserved for people who sniff seats wapo.st/49KbUJ1

“Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight “would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,” said Huntley, now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law.”

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats

one of the disqualifying things about this is that hegseth writes this garbage as if he’s the first person in history to have ever considered these issues

Feel like democratic socialists need to get back to that constitutional agitation thing that they were doing from 2017 to 2019 which demands to abolish the electoral college, abolish the senate, and so on. Aziz Rana's scholarship on this country's legal mechanisms should be required reading.

Let’s see how bad @profanity.accountant says I’ve been …

Almost half the US economy is now based on Nvidia selling GPUs to itself using other companies as proxies

In other words, Hegseth was outed as a war criminal by a fellow Iraq vet who got the story from presumably high-level military officials inside the Pentagon. In case you were wondering how the military feels about him. Hegseth should know that he can't trust anyone around him in that building.

Wild to see Whelan say this, but to be clear the OLC's immunity powers are fake anyway. The "golden shield" idea was made up to justify rampant criminality in the GWBush years, then adopted by Holder to excuse Obama's inaction. It's not in the Constitution, statute, or precedent. It's not the law.

Ed Whelan was Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for OLC from 2001-2004, so when he suggests that laws of war have been violated by the executive branch, that’s… something

And just to be 100% clear it is explicitly forbidden in Article 23(d) of the 1907 Hague Convention IV, itself incorporated into domestic law via 18 USC 2441(c)(2). It is a directly enumerated war crime, and giving or acting on that order is prosecutable domestically.

Im about to start making the full transition over to Korean skincare products and Canadian companies like The Ordinary since the US is about to halt the proper regulatory testing for asbestos and other things in skincare and makeup products. Im already working towards never wearing makeup again.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."

in the midst of our supposed campaign against Venezuelan drug traffickers the President of the United States has chosen to pardon the Former President of Honduras, freeing him from his long prison sentence earned for trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine into the United States

All of them look like Cierra except for the one that’s supposed to look like future… He look like his daddy Russell… If you feed them long enough

Prison for one, court martial and military prison for the other.

obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

400+ emails for Black Friday and other sundry bullshit seems aggressive. *Re-closes laptop

PSA: you need to replace your peeler every couple of years. Peeling veggies with a new peeler today and I am now just realizing our peeler was about 5 years old.

Modern conservatives have always hated non-carceral government functions , but let us never forget that it was Carter and Clinton that put a white, southern, bipartisan gloss on dismantling state capacity.

Tech in the public sector here is often profound dogshit compared to many other places, it's wild

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

the website death knell, tbh

horses are on a quiet mission to break people’s legs

Y’all didn’t grow up with this rich, soulful shit right here. And it shows

Underrated horse feature

What this poll doesn't reflect is Trump's power to still summon an online or in-person attack on a political opponent or disfavored organization, in or out of government. His command of the coercive, armed power of federal "law enforcement" remains intact via thousands of ICE/HSI/FBI et al agents.

Apparently people did the same thing about Steve Tasker yesterday... Art Monk today... ridiculous smh

I'm thankful Art Monk is ok 💙

Roy Caldwood is still with us, he's 103 years old. #WWII #BuffaloSoldiers Spike Lee's "Miracle at St. Anna" is based on the Buffalo Soldiers (92nd Infantry Division all-Black Army unit)

As I see this continually get shared on the skyline, it's still wild to me how no one in that room defended their colleague. He clearly doesn't respect any of them... and they clearly don't even respect themselves.

Threads is awful... I tried but...

I feel bad for these people, sure, but remember when the Minnesota Democrats were literally assassinated? When the SC judge's house was burned down? When Pelosi's husband was beaten with hammers and Republicans joked about it? You can't soak the house in gasoline and think no one will light a match

I can't stop thinking about this and how this father tried to kill his kids in a pretty horrific way

While American families are expected to pay more for goods this holiday season due to Donald Trump’s tariffs, small-business owners are facing an existential crisis, Annie Lowrey reports:

I'm finally on BlackSky!

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I mean… meh 🫤 bsky.app/profile/kimk...

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

LEGO is throwing its own Black Friday sale, but there are plenty of chances to save at Amazon and other retailers, as well. https://bit.ly/487VCbJ

In her sophomore season in college, cross-country runner Drea Gibson was named first-team all-conference in the Division III American Southwest Conference. At 40. As a wife and mother with four kids. And, as a veteran of 20 years in the Army.

OK, who narced?

On the topic of movies aligning with worldviews, I will take this moment to namecheck The Siege. It predicted pretty much every response of our government to a major terrorist attack 3 years before 9/11.

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Oh my. When you've lost the Babylon Bee …

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..
