Setting aside the law for the moment, the United States would obviously consider it our eminent interest if Venezuela or anyone else summarily killed American sailors on a private vessel in international waters
Sen. Mullin: "We know that the Navy or the Coast Guard picked up survivors already and sent them back to their country."
Bash: "Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said 'you can't do that again'?"
Sen. Mullin: "No…Why do we care if we take them out in international water?"

Still thinking about “decided she did not believe in gravity”
Another thing that stuck out to me was how the ”Free Birth” extremists modeled this transition from left-coded woo to far-right coded woo,
in particular it was notable that they went from identifying as “radical feminist“ to becoming sort of far-right tradwives

![Friends say Saldaya often took her ideological cues from her business partner. After Norris-Clark decided she did not believe in gravity, Saldaya announced she was no longer "round Earth] committed".
When Norris-Clark said she
no longer believed in germ theory, Saldaya told friends she did not wash her hands. When Norris-Clark said she no longer identified as a feminist and wished to submit to her husband, Saldaya quietly stopped marketing the podcast as
"radical feminist"
After Norris-Clark tacked rightwards politically, Saldaya followed. She began to promote wild pregnancy, a term Norris-Clark invented, meaning pregnancy without any prenatal care, and German New Medicine, which Norris-Clark has championed, which claims that disease is caused not by pathogens but by unresolved emotional conflicts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreigxj25lz66rvfezw5cba3pvnfvk5t3ntx4v37x5mlmwmx6unokwli@jpeg)

not as serious as ordering summary murder from above, but there are countless policy directives from high in this administration that absolutely boggle my mind in the degree of *personal* malice and reveling in the pain of specific helpless individuals
According to this declaration, following Judge Murphy’s finding that DHS violated his preliminary injunction, ICE has been holding eight people in a shipping container in Djibouti.
NEW: In Djibouti, conditions are brutal for both detainees and ICE officers, ICE tells Judge Murphy. Impossible to read this without thinking the govt should just bring the detainees back to the US for due process! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In October, Barack Obama said something on Marc Maron’s podcast that stuck with me, because it showed Obama both had a sense of perspective (no, we aren’t 1960s Apartheid South Africa), but at the same time a naive idealism about the values of American capitalism:

I‘ve said before I thought Trump2.0 might try to push gently on Biden’s pardons in something like a presentencing memorandum (eg, in criminal history score for a federal simple possession pardonee) rather than trying to pursue, eg, a death warrant for a federal death row commutee…
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

I’m not saying I have a finger on the pulse of how people broadly feel about AI technology, but it’s interesting that people under the age of 30 express by far the lowest support (and people over 65 express by far the highest support)
Gallup recently ran a comprehensive poll in the spring and there is rock bottom support for deregulation, and—interestingly—there is a very strong inverse correlation between age and support for AI
