    This WV girl is elated to share that this paper is forthcoming in West Virginia Law Review! I explore how post-9/11 precedent paved the way for the Trump administration's abuse of the law to target cartels in international waters and to effectuate its mass deportation campaign.

    Don't get it twisted: the Pentagon is the biggest polluter on the planet. Any effort to combat climate chaos that doesn't slash the Pentagon isn't serious.

    The U.S. is at the forefront of humanitarian response to the growing crisis in Lebanon, announcing nearly $157 million in assistance today. We are committed to supporting those in need and delivering essential aid to displaced civilians, refugees and the communities hosting them.

    If Trump cares so deeply about the people of Syria, why has he been banning them through the Muslim/refugee ban? Easiest way to alleviate the suffering: give them a place to flee.

    She IS NOT using the word "torture" and is NOT acknowledging it was illegal then as well as now. Completely unacceptable. #BlockHaspel

    A favored tactic of the CIA was to tell detainees they would kill their children or rape their mothers in front of them. (pp.4, 70, 487) This happened in the site Haspel oversaw. @Sen_JoeManchin was the first Dem to support Haspel: thehill.com/homenews/senat…

    This one's difficult. A man named Gul Rahman was was beaten, stripped naked and chained to a concrete floor by the CIA. They found him dead in his cell hours later, from hypothermia. (p. 54) Today, @MarkWarner announced his support for Haspel:
    Gina Haspel secures crucial Democratic votes, paving way to confirmation

    The CIA had this black site called the Salt Pit/COBALT which was "a dungeon." (p 50). No lights, constant loud music, only buckets for bathrooms. @SenDonnelly was the 2nd Dem to announce support for Haspel. nymag.com/daily/intellig…

    Let's be 100% clear right now: -Trump has ZERO authorization from Congress to bomb Syria, therefore any strike is illegal -Trump has ZERO goals or strategy in Syria, therefore any strike is reckless and dangerous. THIS? Is what a constitutional crisis looks like.

    The CIA also sexually assaulted detainees. They called it "rectal feeding" or "rectal exams conducted with excessive force" and it left one man, Mustafa al-Hawsawi, with a torn rectum. (p. 100) @SenBillNelson became the 5th Dem to back Haspel today:
    Bill Nelson will vote for Gina Haspel
