Can a future AG prosecute him? Is there a statute of limitations on committing war crimes on live TV?

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...

The pandemic was a chance to transform the air in schools. I made this cartoon in the 1st wave & it still illustrates the situation in schools today. Young people are more likely to be asymptomatic & ventilation is not measured or enforced. Workers are therefore still highly exposed

Here's my interview with @avilewis.ca. We talk about Iran, Quebec and his plans to transform the party. shows.acast.com/sandy-and-no...

Day surgery imminent. Should be no sweat. Sweating anyway. Already more needle poke than I mentally prepared for ;)

Intro

If Iran truly wanted to cause havoc and create damage, they could have done so many times over. They don't need nukes to do that.

Disinformation is a deliberate strategy to discredit science and scientists — @caulfieldtim.bsky.social The Lloyd Lecture at UofR

CANADA 🇨🇦 FOR THE WIN PARALYMPIC HISTORY The Canadian wheelchair curling team defeats USA 7-3, becoming the first-ever team in Paralympic history to go through the round robin without a loss. What a team. What an achievement. Outstanding.

Air Quality Reports Remain Wrong in Saskatchewan Last year I asked what I thought was a rhetorical question, but it turns out that MP Kram's office has responded to my concern. The problem remains a year later, however. "Hi John, thanks for circling back on this. We have not yet heard back from…

Only 1 in 3 recognize the COVID-19 vaccines are safe.

About to hear @caulfieldtim.bsky.social at #UofR. Knowledge Crisis Woodrow Lloyd Lecture

A Floridian is more likely than most Americans to not realize.

It's Thursday. Here's a plain.

I blocked him over that thread. Literally people with their visas revoked or deported or disappeared off the streets or still detained over that movement. What a diabolical jerk

Black man gets shot in the back while running from police. Ambulance comes for HIM, but a police officer is having an anxiety attack, so... they give her the ambulance. Black man dies. Hmm. 🤨 The family is understandably outraged. apnews.com/article/poli...

The CRTC is banning activation fees on Internet and cell phone plans, starting in June, 2026. crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/... #Canada #cdnpoli

Mancinelli ends bylaws by noting it took only 14 minutes to pass the last two items & they debated for 14 minutes on whether to extend the meeting. #yqrcc

Our volunteer collective of whistle printers is up past 1.2 million whistles shipped. It's happening very quietly, because we've basically settled into a groove, but we are still here for all your whistle needs. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

The war is pushing Iran’s water systems to the brink of collapse

I was dadoing mortises onto panels and it occurred to me that CBC has Quirks and Quarks on twice a week just so I can hear the parts that were drowned out by the table saw the first time. That Bob MacDonald is a genius.

Oh @editorialboard.bsky.social did you notice they fired us? beat up our students? deported them?? blacklisted us? i hadn’t in front of students for two years until this week, and it’s in another country. The protesters were purged by Biden, so the bravest student organizers are gone for Trump.

@judy-bug.bsky.social that think tank is a climate denial org.

Further mischief on offshore wind means further pause on permitting reform. Let’s hope we can go forward without further mischief.

There is also something crass about having to convince Americans that bombing a country illegally is bad BECAUSE it's so expensive.

The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

"Americans prefer a car-dependent lifestyle." I can't tell you how much I hate this glib sentiment. The only way to determine someone's true, enduring preference is to give them full familiarity with their options. Americans have no familiarity with their options! They've only seen sprawl!

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.

Me: “Candy corn is disgusting.” The 7 yo: “I like candy corn. Do you think I’m disgusting?” M: “Of course not! That’s your right to like it. I just think it’s gross. Do you think I’m disgusting because I like tomatoes?” 7: “Yes.” Kids are fucking ruthless lol

That millions of other guys listen to him like he's an oracle tells you just how deplorable the average Ameridude really is

We also lose Florida. Win win

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

"I have been avoiding everybody for the last couple of years because of my lungs, and a cold would kill me," he said. "Being stuck in that hallway is just not a place I wanted to be, almost to the point of panic." Public Health is destroyed in SK like most places, so he never learned to use N95.

And finally the NDP politician and news crew shows up at his home for a photo-op, and I really doubt they tested themselves for COVID-19 to make sure he didn't accidentally finish off the man he's trying to help by sharing his unhappy story around. #COVID19SK #skpoli

This This THIS Extending times between buses makes things worse. Bro lived in Halifax where missing a connection made for a ONE HOUR WAIT. Imagine a young person missing a bus at 9PM and having to wait til 10 to catch the next one in the winter.

Vulnerable people like Guy are threatened by bad hospital policies and understaffing. He was first moved from his hometown hospital because they didn't have resources to treat pneumonia. Then they put him into a hospital hallway in #YXE, where they didn't have enough room. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Froh, Radons, Turnbull, Zachidniak & Flores voted against, BTW. #yqrcc

First speaker is the mighty Terri Sleeva. She's the chair of the Regina Public Transit Coalition. #yqrcc

Turnbull asks Sleeva how often she's come to council in the past year to talk about transit. Sleeva: Gee whillikers, four? #yqrcc

#Rashovich #YQRcc

Turnbull: How do we get more people on transit? Stratton: Reduce fares and eventually eliminate them. #yqrcc

Jaleta is speaking in his role as a Regina Public Schools trustee. #yqrcc

Mancinelli: Why can't you collect taxes through the government? Why are we backstopping problems through transit? Jaleta: Good Q. Before 2009, the school board set its own mill rate. In 2009, the government took that away. #yqrcc

Back from break. Speaking now, Ellen McLaughlin. #yqrcc

Mclaughlin: Some logical fallacies. 1. We're creating an environment that will lower ridership. In turn, low ridership will be used to validate further cuts. #yqrcc

Maclaughlin: The second logical fallacy: we're asking transit riders — one of the most cost effective forms of transportation — to "pay their way" in addition to paying property taxes. But we do no make a similar ask of car drivers. #yqrcc
