It's worth paying particular attention to the 1st half of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's Apr. 16 newsletter, which lists ways in which the Regime has broken the law in a clear, matter-of-fact way. It's shocking though it shouldn't surprise anyone.

@propublica.org's excellent reporting underscores the likelihood of a coup attempt as most of the 2020 "guardrails" are now absent. It will thus be that much more incumbent on we the people to demand respect for election results.

Essential reading. The U.S. is not a stable democracy and it is likely Trump & co. will attempt some sort of coup as the elections get closer and/or as the results are clearly. We the people need to be prepared accordingly.

THIS. Tech bros threw in their lot with fascists, they shouldn't get rewarded for doing so. Hopefully Dems will learn their lesson, but I'm not holding my breath...

I feel like we aren’t talking enough about how the president of the United States loudly announced that hitting civilian targets and gleeful, god-invoking mass murder of civilians is fair game in this war

We can’t say we’ve tried everything until we’ve tried everything. Signaling matters too.
Important article about how Trump couldn’t have happened in a vacuum. He’s the logical outcome of the lies we’ve told ourselves about our country for years.

As @hcrichardson.bsky.social (and @atrupar.com) nicely sum up, Trump's behavior this week underlines the spectacular and utter failure of U.S. political system to hold Trump accountable for criminality. We should never have reached this point.

Note: Even such a threat is a violation of the Geneva convention.
Important point. It’s not as if we couldn’t’ve predicted where we’ve landed.
Important words from historian Timothy Snyder. No more sane-washing or sugar coating Trump’s words. Doing so is complicity. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
Very important letter from 100+ int'l law experts on Trump regime's conduct in Iran War.
www.justsecurity.org/135423/profe...
Important words from @pkrugman.bsky.social. It cannot be stressed how heinous this is. If the military obeys, we're in dangerous territory. Non-right wing U.S. media must emphasize how serious this is - they've failed us far too often. No more sane-washing.

This cannot be stressed enough. it is one of the primary culprits in Trump + GOP's criminal behavior.

From @pkrugman.bsky.social. Hits the nail on the head. While the Iranian regime deserves no sympathy, the U.S. is not "the good guy" in this war. Our regime is openly threatening war crimes as a terror tactic.
"No quarter" is a war crime. Period.
Alito kept citing "reports" of things like this, and you can tell for him "reports" means "I think I saw something about this on Newsmax"
The U.S. regime has committed war crimes and is threatening to commit more.
