Unworkable rules and impossible situations are the point. They want to make our lives unliveable.

!["I, a trans woman, believed I had to follow the EHRC interim update and was followed into the men's room by a male security officer and told to get out. It is worth noting that before this I was already shaking with fear about the possible confrontation that could ensue. The security man and the two other men in the room circled me. I said I believed, according to what the EHRC and our political leaders have said, that I have to be in there now.
Now that he infers I am trans, he starts sniggering at me. The other men in the room join him in laughing at me. I tell him that it isn't funny and please stop laughing at me. He doesn't stop and I say "it might be funny to you but to me this is my life and I am scared, scared about being attacked, please stop laughing, it's not funny'. He tells me he doesn't care what I have to say, that I need to get out. So I do.
I leave and talk to the store manager, where again, I have to relay all sorts of intimate and private details, of my background, my trans and intersex statuses, history of being assaulted, my genital configuration. This is humiliating.
I felt deeply unsafe, humiliated, hopeless like nobody cares, violated. I don't think the EHRC lets me use the [service of my gender] so I was just denied service."

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

This was my first thought, too.
What are the odds that the builders are tied to foreign governments and in 10 years it’s discovered that the entire building is bugged and will have to be torn down?

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

Yes indeed! What do you do when you're covering a lying, bloviating politician who revels in attention, good or bad? Ignoring him or covering him neutrally or even covering him critically doesn't work. You've got to try something different! Clip and save this chart:

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
