going to use this insanely dumb tweet to do a thread of mine and other people's reporting/commentary on drone strikes while trump was president https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1344997803022577665
here's a piece i wrote about the slow erosion of casualty reports from operation inherent resolve in iraq/ syria (sorry that the venture capitalist dipshits took all the images off splinter) https://splinternews.com/u-s-led-coalition-no-longer-thinks-anyone-needs-to-kno-1831495512#_ga=2.110606149.1756397262.1551895157-1349940386.1540582134
here's another blog i wrote about trump rolling back obama's token transparency measures so he could use DNI drone assets to kill people and then not report them like the DOD has to https://splinternews.com/trump-doesnt-want-you-to-have-any-idea-how-many-civilia-1833101550
here's a piece i wrote about when the DOD denied that it was killing civilians in somalia for literally years and then had to do an "oopsie" when it got caught https://splinternews.com/u-s-military-admits-it-has-killed-civilians-in-somalia-1833841946
that last piece owes a lot to the on the ground reporting that @hysperbole did in somalia for @thenation and @theintercept tracking down actual survivors of these strikes https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/somalia-secret-air-campaign/
