I organized this exercise. TLDR: Drone striking cartels isn’t a great idea unless you want to spread cartel violence, push fentanyl production into new communities in 🇲🇽 AND 🇺🇸, make the trade war even more painful here, and see what happens if 🇲🇽 lets 100Ks of migrants up to the 🇺🇸 border.

On Thursday, @JoaquinCastroTX.bsky.social @ChuyGarcia.house.gov & @Velazquez.house.gov led a resolution reaffirming that Congress opposes calls for U.S. military action in Mexico. winwithoutwar.org/win-without-... 🧵

"Hiring McGurk is a declaration that being party to a litany of war crimes isn't a deal-breaker at Harvard," DAWN fellow @harrisonmann.bsky.social writes. "The very least Harvard can do is stop laundering the reputations of the architects of an ongoing, generational atrocity."

As someone with the dubious distinction of being a veteran of both Brett McGurk’s war on Gaza and his newest employer @harvard.edu Kennedy School, I write we cannot afford to let “elite” institutions reputation launder for the architects of genocide. dawnmena.org/harvard-shou...

McGurk was principle evangelist for a US-Saudi defense pact, a proposition as worthless as it sounds if assessed from an *American* perspective. One of his last acts at the NSC was to lie to @chrisvanhollen.bsky.social that the UAE was no longer arming the RSF in Sudan. H/t @jeremyscahill.com

Multiple Democratic congressmen put on their thinking caps and said, “yes, I will go on the record to whine that my constituents care too much about the ongoing coup attempt.” Incredible stuff.

Jewish state adopts poison gas as weapon of choice. @972mag-rss.bsky.social: The IDF killed Israeli hostages and countless Palestinians through doctrinal carpet bombing that “intentionally weaponized toxic byproducts of bombs to suffocate militants in their tunnels.”

Win Without War ED @shaghdoosti.bsky.social's statement on President Trump's despicable plan for the ethnic cleansing and annexation of Gaza.

Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0 as secretary of state. People on MSNBC called him a "moderate." Now he's helping kill USAID, denying food to desperate people overseas, with no input from Congress, which created the agency. Stop playing nice, Democrats. It makes fascists think you're easy marks.

Of note, the senators who visited USAID today ( @schatz.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social ) were also all supporters of the November JRD suspending some arms transfers to Israel (with the exception of @andykimnj.bsky.social , who was still in the House last year).

Trump’s first arms sale to Israel (initiated by the Biden admin) will be an interesting test for Dems now doubling down on rule of law in the face of the Trump/Musk takeover. Will that commitment extend to Leahy Laws? www.wsj.com/world/middle...

“Israeli figures have put the total terrorist death toll in Gaza at around 20,000.”

She also candidly admits that Biden admin’s push last summer for a pan-Arab peacekeeping force in Gaza was “magical thinking”

On the Saudi-Israel normalization cure-all that Biden was hawking as recently as last October: The Biden admin had never actually gotten buy-in from Israel even *before* the Oct 7 attacks.

Unclear to me why the top State Department Near East official would do her exit interview with an Israeli paper, but as always some notable admissions here: www.timesofisrael.com/we-averted-m...

Yesterday, we welcomed @repilhan.bsky.social & @hirono.senate.gov reintroducing the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, which would repeal the Alien Enemies Act, the last of the shameful Alien & Sedition acts from the 1790s still on the books. winwithoutwar.org/win-without-...
