“The incalculable damage left by Bush and Cheney’s day-in-and-day-out contempt for national and international law includes the power to sweep forward in time and trivialize into a matter of personal preference any future president’s adherence to the law.“ Elaine Scarry in 2008:

There is some sad irony in McClatchy shutting its DC bureau the same day that Dick Cheney died. That bureau (then Knight-Ridder) did some of the best, most skeptical reporting anywhere in the run-up to the Iraq War. And they took a lot of shit for it at the time. www.cato.org/commentary/q...

An obituary for Dick Cheney in one frame via @mattbors.bsky.social, and other Election Day comics! www.inthesetimes.com/article/mamd...
Dick Cheney is portrayed as a worried man sitting on a flaming rock, surrounded by playful devils holding a trident, a towel, and a bottle. A speech bubble reads, "We do not torture."

This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement. Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.
toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone."
But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran?
If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility.
Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages.
And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for.
No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.
