Normally you have to pay to access this information. It is a huge gift to writers, researchers and legal analysts, and also for my “why wonder when you can know” peeps.

Human Rights Watch is concerned that under the second Trump administration, the Defense Department has deliberately and systematically weakened its domestic protections meant to ensure its compliance with the laws of armed conflict. Those include the termination of senior military lawyers, reported loosening of targeting protocols, and the elimination of "civilian environment teams" and "red-teams" within the operational chain of command. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth commented at a news conference on March 2, 2026, about "stupid rules of engagement," suggesting that they may interfere with "fight[ing] to win." The US Congress should hold hearings to understand how and if these rollbacks contributed to any civilian harm verified to be caused by the US military in Iran.

A reasonable person might assume the first missile that hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school, killing over 100 children, may have been a miscalculation, but that subsequent strikes were deliberate.

Serious violations of the laws of war carried out by individuals deliberately, or recklessly, are war crimes.

In case you’re wondering who is blockading the Strait of Hormuz, in violation of maritime law, and to the detriment of the economy of his own country, it’s Donald, Donald TACO Trump.

To all who celebrate

The shooter accessed a nearby rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage, which remained unguarded despite reports of a suspicious person.

It is though?

A flesh colored razor blade is what he used in WWE to make a small cut. The wound on his ear “did not require stitches” per the attending physician. Blood splatter all wrong for a bullet.

Debunkers focus on the impossibility to fake the shot. No one considered a “not shot at all”.

The mainstream coverage is missing what actually happened this weekend inside MAGA.
They're asking whether Greene believes Butler was staged.

Fuck Trump

I do feel a little better

So, that tracks.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

The War Cabinet convenes

“Weaponization work”

Everyone saw Iran send up fireworks to bleed Gulf interceptors right?

Singing YMCA, tiny fists jerking the air as the global economy circles the drain. Just wait until he finds out the US economy is part of the much larger global economy.

Ffs, waiting for China to talk some sense into him.

Iran’s Foreign Minister says the U.S. blocking Iranian ports constitutes an “act of war” and a ceasefire violation, and adds that targeting commercial vessels and taking crews hostage is an even greater violation. He says Iran will “resist bullying” and defend its interests.

Which is the indicator we all need to pay attention to, because the value of human life is falling.

All of the billionaires and their pets at the White House are amassing as much as they can before everything collapses. They hate society and are looking beyond it.

Warsh is a liar.

Do not confirm.

Schrodinger’s ceasefire is officially over. The Trump US will resume its overt aggression, and once more join Netanyahu in committing war crimes against 🇮🇷 by bombing their civilian infrastructure: Bridges, desalination plants, oil assets “back to the Stone Ages”, just like 🇵🇸 🇸🇾 🇮🇶 🇦🇫 🇱🇾 #WWIII #TrumpWar

Hegseth will single-handedly cripple the greatest fighting force on earth with a communicable disease.

Iran is watching.

Trump’s nominee cannot act independently of Trump.

Do not confirm.

I’m hearing the Fed Chair say he’s not going to divest all of his assets.

Do not confirm.

Getting Emmet Sullivan for this one is a sign that Kash needs to drop his nuisance suit before Sullivan makes an example out of him.

Why haven’t we shunned the special press corp that plants this admin’s lies in the news cycle? Disinformation is harming citizens and helping adversaries.

Only support those who are on record refusing to capitulate to fascism. The rest were lost when Hegseth set the DOD on fire, and started WWIII.

Republicans for Israel!

We know, we’ve seen the polls.
