El Salvador has begun arresting war criminals from its civil war … starting surprisingly with guerrillas accused of killing wounded US soldiers who had fallen into their hands.

It seems plausible to me that the guerrillas were not in a position to hold prisoners. During World War II, it was considered legitimate (though regrettable) to kill enemy soldiers that had surrendered, if it was unfeasible to take prisoners there and then. What do today's treaties say about this situation?

The troll is drifting into the camp of the theocratic Christians that want to impose their religion on the US.

Distracted Americans worry about Muslims, instead of the truly dangerous Christians.

Jane Crow: for black and Hispanic mothers, the slightest anomaly is seized on as an excuse to take their children away to "protect" them.

Even once their children are returned to them, they face various sorts of continuing punishment, harassment, blacklisting, and pitfalls, which serve only to uphold the pretense that there was a reason for action.

The way to help those children is to give the mothers aid to lift them out of poverty. Poverty makes life more difficult, so that minor anomalies are more likely. It also causes emotional stress, which leads to mishaps too. (Not to mention that it stunts the children's mental and physical development.)

The EFF's lawsuit to block the troll's voter suppression panel from asking for voter records was defeated, but most states still intend to reject the requests more or less.

People are making baseless bigoted accusations against the thug that killed Justine Damond, based on his national origin and his religion.

These accusations are implausible and have no basis other than supposition. We must not let them distract attention from the real issue: how to make US thugs less dangerous.
