After years of following orders with clear rules of engagement and with congressional authority, targeting jihadists in rural and urban settings,
Admiral Frank Mitchell Bradley was put in command of a legally murky attack on Sept. 2
targeting a boat in the Caribbean that the Trump administration says was smuggling drugs.
And in ordering a second strike that killed two survivors who were clinging to the burning wreckage of the boat
— something his superiors say they di…

https://share.google/lI7OO5pkDz9xpi6eG
The British gov. has now spent 4M and 53 years defending a self-confessed killer for an atrocity it paid for, which it investigated and publicly announced as unjustified and unjustifiable.

“How did it feel for the man who built a home, only to watch it turn to the rubble? How does a farmer stand before the land he tended year after year, now lying barren—no scent of soil, no whisper of harvest? How does a father tell his son the school he loved is gone, that the garden where he played is now only a rumor in the rubble? How does a mother walk through the ghost of a playground, finding a small shoe, a torn notebook, a toy she once mended? How do neighbors look at one another, wo…

Every year, as I come up on my birthday, I start to think a lot more about the shooting. The intensity was a bit lower after Trump left office the first time, but October of 2024 was pretty intense.
As I've been processing through all this, I thought about the cards and letters folks sent to me in the hospital. I have a box of them in the US and sometimes I think about asking for them to be sent here. But things have a tenancy to get lost in the mail on the way here.
There's a little bit of a trapped and incomplete feeling, that Trump's chaos makes feel even more intense.
So I decided to write a bit about that box, and the hospital, and death.
CW: body horror, death
