Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:
188. Five Questions About "Extrajudicial Killings"
There is no obvious legal argument to support President Trump's expanding campaign of strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. And the implications are even scarier.

Halloween is the perfect example of how the time spent in or around cars are the most dangerous periods of any day for most Americans. And it is rarely acknowledged on a wide scale.
Yes, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians—great advice from @mcbazacophd.bsky.social

🚨 In Newcastle today, Rising Tide painted “TAX ME” on a coal ship named Climate Justice, calling for a 78% fossil fuel profits tax to fund a just transition for workers + communities. Australia’s biggest polluters pay less tax than nurses.

This article by @schooldaves.bsky.social provides an excellent rundown on the very grim constraints of the municipal bond market that Mamdani will face. Running a state under capitalism and trying to do anything besides serving capital is very, very hard. We have to get out altogether
“Even if a socialist mayoral administration wins a bitter fight to tax the rich, it won’t be fully free as long as this bond regime is in place.”

Should Zohran Mamdani become the next mayor of New York City, he will be restricted by the municipal bond market.

Law of the sea expert chiming in to say there is no lawful basis for military strikes against vessels for customs infringements on the high seas or in any other maritime zone, including the territorial sea. These are unlawful extra-judicial killings.
The U.S. military carried out a new strike on Thursday against a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean, and in what is believed to be the first such case, there were survivors among the crew, a U.S. official told Reuters.
