Ended up down a rabbit hole of international organizations recognised by the US State department. I reckon I'd take a stint on the International Coffee Organization (ICO).

Musk is asking US Federal employees (eg federal judiciary staff) seconded to international organizations (eg the International Court of Justice) to provide detail of their work within just over 72 hours, for data mining, or be considered to have "resigned".

If you're posting your amusement of learning of Cardinal Pizzaballa for the first time you're sort of letting us know you weren't paying very close attention to Gaza.

They're stripping off the legal guardrails of the US armed forces. The sort of guardrails you'd want to get rid of if you want to use the armed forces against domestic political opponents and groups.

I don't know has a band ever faded as much as REM. I am sampling various MTV shows form 1994-1996 and it is kind of amazing now, how pervasive and massive they were.

“We are the federal law.”

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Was listening to a Lawfare podcast and the host was asserting that JD Vance's speech would cost him European cooperation on Gaza and genuinely what the fuck is wrong with people.

Someone today suggested that the German military could really benefit from using the bases the Americans currently occupy. Germany's political stability depends more on keeping the far right at bay than American bases so fuck off, JD.

I have been pro-sham neutrality. Everyone understood it was a sham, and everyone went along with it. It has been *extremely* convenient Harder to sustain the sham when the backstop to it, the US, has gone off the deep end though.

I don't think this US admin's democratic credentials suggest they would limit themselves to a free and fair election to remove Zelensky if they decide he is an obstacle to whatever it is they are cooking up. How does Europe deal with that scenario...
