A war crime is a serious violation of the laws and customs applicable in armed conflict, known as international humanitarian law (IHL) and the laws of war (LOAC), which gives rise to criminal responsibility under international law.
Also:
War crimes are:

"Electability" has always been code for either
1. being an educated straight white protestant Xian man who can hang w white men who didn't finish college &/or get money from white men with lots of it
or
2. Being as close to that as possible, preferably closer than your (presumed) primary opponent.

Spanish PM SΓ‘nchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Not for nothing, but "liberal" & "conservative" aren't issue positions. They are outlooks. They're tendencies. They're approaches to figuring out what your positions might be.
If your mom tells you to vote for Harris & you do bc mom said so, you're not liberal. You're an authoritarian conservative.

Been a long time since I did reading on her, but I think she also wanted to rid the former Oregon territory of tuberculosis as well? Not sure on that one.

Spent a lot of time being a latter-day Thomas Paine. Wrote up tracts about what she saw as the evils of the day. Passed her pamphlets out free sometimes, other times charged for them. Was convinced she could get rid of drunkenness through selective breeding.

one of the first women to graduate from the University of Michigan medical school. Came out west with her husband and got involved in politics from a public health/eugenics perspective.
She wasn't ill-intentioned, though wow did she embody many prejudices of her time -- and yet a fierce feminist.

Yet, this well-documented pattern did not appear among Black participants. The data provides evidence that Black women do not shy away from competition, nor are they any less willing to take financial risks than Black men. This suggests that the broad behavioral generalizations scientists have made about men and women for years are heavily skewed by predominantly White study samples.

Bc with polyamory, there's always someone else that can do the other thing(s). But in monogamy there's the expectation that you have to give someone everything that they need. The pressure of that expectation makes many relationships harder than they otherwise need to be.

I will never not be a wackaloon. I am absolutely nuts. But when I establish a relationship with someone, I'm careful not to establish it with the expectation that they meet all my needs. We figure out together what we can give to each other, give that, and don't force the rest.
That's what's easy.

It's remarkable that the national media is saying the takeaway from Talarico's win over Crockett is "Democrats are too far left" when the two of them are so ideologically similar.
It's almost as though "too far left" means "too Black."
