ICE convoy retreats from Manhattan's Chinatown after hundreds of New Yorkers confront them.
Around two dozen car/vans have sped out of the garage, with NYPD officers clearing the path. One guys tries to stop them, NYPD officers come chasing.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.
Just do it.

Trump has turned his control of the Oval Office into the engine of an extortion racket enriching his family by billions, and this motherf––er says _Biden's_ actions as president were worse than Watergate?
Jake Tapper on Biden: "It is a scandal. It is without question -- and maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways, because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn't drinking."

3 guys, none with infectious disease or pedatric expertise, just ran roughshod over normal procedures to block COVID shots for kids, pregnant people. This is so awful & insane & we should treat it as such. Reporters, you're on notice. Both sides this at your peril & watch your credibitlity evaporate
No, @nytimes.com, an anti-vaxx grifter is no longer recommending #Covid vaccines. Many of us in the US with actual medical credentials still recommend it.

It’s very telling that Tapper’s reference point is Watergate rather than what is happening out in the open every day during the Trump administration

If this was a Watergate-level scandal how come Tapper waited over a year to make his findings public?

Of course they find Bluesky annoying and uninviting. They spend most of their time in spaces that are awash in cognitive dissonance. Every morning, they wake up knowing they'll have to cover a sociopath whilst pretending he's not a sociopath. Most spaces enable that bet hedging. Bluesky doesn't.
