🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

We're terrible neighbors right now, and it hurts to keep caring. Care anyway. You are needed.
theofficialdawsonmckie

Dear America, I'm Canadian, and even from across the border I can tell your gentlest people are doing the heaviest lifting. They are feeding people, protecting people, defending people, comforting people, organizing people, and carrying a country that keeps calling their pain politics. If America has a soul left, it is living inside the people who refuse to stop caring. Your cruelest people may have the microphone right now, but your best people still have the moral weight.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
