Records that are properly classified can STILL be declassified if their release is in the public interest.
Federal agencies can declassify records this way, and so can the Senate Intelligence Committee.
There is, quite literally, no excuse, for the OLC opinion or the video to be secret.

They donβt care if people opposed to them see them for what they are. What they care about is how they see themselves and each other. The cognitive dissonance is always there and they have to say this shit to keep it at bay. It also signals to the other fucking losers that same intent.

Just a reminder that nearly all of the Nazi leadership that planned the Holocaust at the Wannsee Conference were lawyers and manufactured legal consent for what was clearly genocide.

I think people can twist themselves up all they like in order to justify Democratic Party support for Israeli apartheid as somehow not violating liberal values but it doesn't really work anymore. You can tell that it doesn't because almost all the excuses today are exclusively appeals to "realism".

The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

He was one of few remaining journalists with a drone. Israel has killed most, some stopped using them as Israel targets their users.

It's not about if Horses is good or if you like it, it's about the world we're in where a few companies have control over who gets to make money and which artists get to continue working.
