For nonlawyers, it’s worth noting that statements like this have—as a formal matter—important legal effects as a matter of international law. If such statements are *not* made, and in volume, future arguments that Trump’s invasion sets a legal precedent will stand on much firmer legal ground.

Democrats in Congress, this is how you should respond to Trump’s insane and illegal war for oil.
Trump must be impeached immediately. This is not how a democracy functions.

If you have the resources and are incensed by the oil grab you can send a message with your wallet. Decarbonize your transport (EV or e-bike) and home HVAC (heat pump). The loss of US tax credits in 2026 aren't enough to make these options economically unviable.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

(PS3) CNN immediately reposted the illegal photo and repeatedly called it “remarkable” without any criticism of it.
In fact, it urged all Americans to look at and focus on the picture and left it up for *minutes*.
*This* is how lost corporate media is. It is totally in the wilderness ethically.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.
