Combatants are hunting civilians from the sky with small drones more than ever before - and the international community isn’t doing enough to stop it.

My latest on the ways we can protect civilians from drones, written with Nathaniel Raymond of @hrl-yalesph.bsky.social :
The Laws of War Must Change for the Drone Age
Hunting civilians from the sky is growing disturbingly common.

That Jeffries took the meeting was bad.
That Kushner did it to drive dissention among the ranks was clear.
That this Demwit now doubles down and defends it shows only his astounding gormlessness.
Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle."

He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen.

You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that
Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

Looks like a certain petulant brat got his saggy ass handed to him by a strong woman. You know how much he must have delighted in that. Thank you, President Connolly!

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model.

Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

“Trump is a bully and a braggart, a self-confessed sexual predator and a purveyor of racial slurs... Most people would not welcome such a man into their home, and the majority of Irish people will not welcome this visit.”

Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They know.
They are literally pouring gasoline on the fire for profits now.
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
