In light of criticism of the Pope, my thoughts on the Just War Doctrine and whether the US operations comply.

The Occupied City This immersive exhibition that transforms the Museum's third floor into a vivid journey through Revolutionary-era New York.

This sounds great!

"Marking the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, this major exhibition—developed in partnership with the Gotham Center for New York City History—transforms the Museum’s entire third floor into a 7,000-square-foot immersive journey through Revolutionary-era New York."

What if China Succeeds? Why Beijing’s success spells doom for everyone else.

The stakes are no less than the leadership of the entire global system.

The ceasefire is a good thing, even though the whole incident exposed in the most garish manner possible the fact that the man in the White House is undisciplined, erratic, confused, and utterly not to be trusted.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Flu spreads efficiently especially in close quarters like military troop lodging facilities. If you are in the military you are required to get several vaccines because of how devastating outbreaks can be to troops and also because they are more likely be targeted by agents of biological warfare.

Tucker is Really Sorry Serenity now.

“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be, and I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say.”

Not intentional? Tucker had no idea what he doing when he was shilling for the orange grotesquerie?

The Aides Keeping the President in the Dark Donald Trump’s advisers are treating him like he can’t handle the reality of the war in Iran. They might be right—but that fact is a danger to the constitutional order.

Donald Trump’s aides have kept him in the dark on important conversations—and “the ramifications for democratic accountability are serious,” @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

Just subscribe to the Atlantic people! All the cool kids are doing it.

(FT) - Lufthansa has cancelled 20,000 flights between May and October to save fuel, one of the largest cuts by global airlines as jet fuel prices double following the Iran war.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Even for a man with no concept or honor, this is unspeakably vile.

The White House Capitulation Dinner Get ready. Trump is about to stain another Washington tradition. He just might ruin it for good.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges related to past use of paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges related to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.

I’ve seen a lot of shocking things in the last ten years, but as someone who has admired the work of the SPLC in documenting and calling out hate groups for decades, this is truly up there.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
