Useful explainer for media covering the boat strikes. Here’s the gist:
It’s not an armed conflict, so the boat strikes are murder.
If it were an armed conflict, targeted killing of civilians is a war crime.
EVEN IF these are combatants in an armed conflict, killing the shipwrecked is a war crime.

Trump's entire gambit is to bully and harass and intimidate people into silence. But the elections last Tuesday, the huge No Kings turnout, and the packed rooms I saw in New Hampshire this week are proof that his plan is not working.

A Reagan-appointed judge has quit the bench so he can speak out against assaults on the rule of law (he is a senior judge so it doesn’t create a vacancy):

Tax reform. It is long overdue. The super rich - high-wealth owners - do not pay taxes. People who pay income taxes - carry the burden alone.
