But on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the second deadly strike did occur. She said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had authorized an admiral to conduct “these kinetic strikes” on the suspected drug vessel — and she said that second strike was conducted in “self-defense to protect Americans in vital United States interests.”
Even before Leavitt’s admission that the second strike happened, some legal experts and U.S. lawmakers had already expressed alarm. They argued that even if one accepts the flimsy legal pretext the administration says justifies its belligerence in the seas of the Western hemisphere, that the second deadly strike constituted either a war crime or murder.
USians, write your representatives, tell them how you feel about your government committing war crimes. It feels good to take action. And before someone says, “but it won’t do any good” let me say that defeatism plays directly into the fascist playbook.

Why would I help the United States? My plan is to leave. None of you will do what’s right– As a whole
My reps are all Conservative and have told me to fuck off in polite terms plenty of times. They don’t see reason. But if you have a Democrat or Independent rep, maybe. I don’t know anymore
Right now, the non-fascist reps are receiving threats to stop them from opposing fascism. Until the opposite happens, the fascists will only continue to be emboldened.
Too bad my comment was removed. The solution will never be known to anyone
