Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Speaking as someone who wrote a book on the government’s Doomsday plans, one challenge: “Martial law” isn’t actually something that exists in the US in the way it exists in other countries. There are ways to nationalize or deploy troops, but “declaring martial law” isn’t some magic button to press.
