The Trump Administration's murders of individuals on boats in international waters violates international law generally, and international human rights law specifically, regardless of whether they are drug traffickers. That part is irrelevant. Using the military for this purpose is a war crime.

Hey, Lauren Boebert. "It's only a Halloween costume" is perfectly compatible with "it's despicably racist."

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

The Washington Post fired Karen Attiah for accurately reporting the bigoted things Charlie Kirk has said about ... people like Karen Attiah. So glad I unsubscribed from WaPo when Bezos decided to interfere with editorial decisionmaking.

The same Supreme Court majority that held it unconstitutional for universities to consider race as a relevant factor in admissions now holds that ICE can consider race a relevant factor in detentions. If any of these justices had been students in my courses, they would have failed out of law school.

One of the most disappointing of all human motivations is the drive to feel self-esteem based on something--race, sex, looks, inherited wealth or privilege--that in reality reflects no personal merit.

The Trump Administration has denied visas to Venezuelas Little League Baseball team to participate in the Little League World Series. Chew on that for a bit.

If Ghislaine Maxwell will help mega-millionaires molest children, she'll lie to cover up for Trump in exchange for a pardon. Immorality isn't context-specific.

The U.S. government decision to withdraw from UNESCO, like the decision to withdraw from the WHO, will gratify the most ignorant sectors of the U.S. voting public, while harming both the United States as a whole and global cooperation in worthwhile projects. It is quite simply a fool's policy.

It is inexcusable that some news channels refer to the "Israel-Gaza War." 260 IDF soldiers have been killed since Israel invaded Gaza, versus over 56,000 Arab casualties, around 45,000 of which were civilians. That is not a war, it's a massacre.

The Supreme Court lowering the bar for powerful majorities to claim discrimination is concerning. Antidiscrimination law should shield all, but not with identical standards. It should focus on addressing real social problems and not be derailed by the persecution fantasies of privileged groups.
