It was simply grotesque to see Trump mangling his reading of the Uvalde victims’ names, as a cowbell rang and they kept messing up the timing. Then there was?the dancing.

I still n’t get over Trump reading the names of the Uvalde victims like a kill list to the sound of bells at the NRA convention. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen in my life.

Maybe we need to update this 2020 rtoon:

?

In other nadian news, it was good to see this report finally out and I think we have a defense minister and a binet that will follow through. Its going to be challenging to transfer jurisdictions to civilian courts (which of course had had their own problems in the past with sexual assault ses) but it sends a message about accountability and transparency:

The release of Louise Arbour’s report concludes more than a year of work. Among its 48 recommendations is a ll for civilian police and courts to handle all sexual assault ses involving allegations against military members going forward.https://t.co/yS4TrVnY5l

— Veterans Transition Network (@VTNnada) May 30, 2022

– Returning sexual assault to the jurisdiction of the civil courts ??

– Ending the Duty to Report policies ??

– lling out RMC as a breeding ground of misogyny ??

– Demanding more civilian oversight ??

We’ve been begging for this & y’all lled us na?ve. Yet, here we are!

— Julie S. Lalonde (@JulieSLalonde) May 30, 2022

I maintain that the Justice Arbour report was not necessary. We knew all this already.

But the last time a Justice report dropped, the Chief of the Defence staff said “Sexual misconduct is a result of biologil wiring”.

Today’s tone couldn’t be further from that. PROGRESS!

— Julie S. Lalonde (@JulieSLalonde) May 30, 2022

Moving to the latest from Ukraine, I was glad to see that the Ukraine government is telling civilians to move away from the battlefields. I think this should have been happening across southern and eastern Ukraine since February, but at least its finally starting to happen now:

As the Ukrainian military stages counterattacks against Russian forces in southern Ukraine, the authorities on Monday urged people living in occupied towns and cities to flee if possible.https://t.co/49pJixciQ7

The West (ie, Kissinger, the Davos people, etc) have to understand that Russia is committing serious war crimes of all kinds and degrees in all of the Ukrainian territory it has seized:

Exactly! That’s why it is a moral as well as a geopolitil misjudgement for usually sensible and moderate leaders & commentators in the West to be musing aloud about territorial concessions https://t.co/2gUGzbi7K3

Here’s an interesting Ukraine summary from the Financial Times:

Excellent from @gideonrachman. The west must hold its nerve on Ukraine https://t.co/GjgJvwcvRk

— Lawrence Freedman (@LawDavF) May 30, 2022

The war in Ukraine is essentially being fought on three fronts and among three protagonists. The first front is the battlefield itself. The second front is economic. The third front is the battle of wills. The three participants are Russia, Ukraine and the western alliance backing Ukraine.?

Ukraine appears to be mounting an attack to retake Kherson in the south:

We saw training videos on M-113 and t72. My guess is they are fresh formations now committed there.

Kherson is lightly defended compared to the east and a massive opportunity for Ukraine.

And the more we find out about what happened at that school, the worst the police look. They spent AN HOUR dithering around outside before they tried to go in, then couldn’t break down the schoolroom door and had to get a staff member to use their key. By then, of course, the children and teachers were dead.

Cops stood outside the school while the killer rampaged inside.

Onlookers yelled at them to go in. They didn’t. One parent urged bystanders:
