We have a cabinet minister overseeing torture & abuse of people captured in international waters, prisoners held w/no food & water, 🇸🇪 embassy staff merely take notes (unclear if they lodged a protest w/Israel or not)...

And several EU govts still hesitate when it comes to the ICC arrest warrant?

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
