After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I remember hearing this line, convinced it was a patently obvious critique of the Bush admin, then being bummed so many fans didn’t see it.
The problem of audiences not grasping nuance or creator intent is not new. Maybe worse or more frustrating now, but not new.
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

Retail politics gets you re-elected for 800 terms. Clearing snow, filling potholes, towing dead cars, cheaper public trans, photo bombing and glad-handing normies and taxpayers, that's the juice. Even at scale in a place like NYC.
