"Declaring that no quarter will be given" is specifically prohibited by Art 23 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, which means it is a war crime under US domestic law by virtue of the War Crimes Act (18 U.S. Code § 2441).
Well, they’ve got the coordinates confirmed. How long until “fire for effect” is ordered?
If it looks like an idiot, talks like an idiot, walks like an idiot, (shoes too big) it’s probably an idiot.
The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : "The White House put a video on social media that depicted this war as a video game… When 🇺🇸 service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries… it speaks to the moral rot of this administration."

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.
But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.
Just talked to a journalist about the scourge of dark money in IL primaries right now. Crypto is copying AIPAC's gameplan -dump in millions but *don't* talk about why. Crypto isn't running ads defending crypto - they're launching unrelated attacks against candidates who would regulate crypto.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
When he says “this couldn’t be further from the truth”…
Six years ago, police burst into Breonna Taylor’s home in the middle of the night and took a life that should still be here today.
Justice delayed, accountability denied, and her name still carries the weight of a system that failed her.
We remember Breonna Taylor. #SayHerName
Donald fantasizing about fulfilling his lifelong dream to be a Kremlin guard.

“I have a teenager who’s considering military service. And I could give this teen my highest compliment from President Trump to the head of the Joint Chiefs to the Secretary of War... I would trust my child’s life in their hands.”
Good God.
Defund?
Saw it in a movie once. Thought it sounded cool.
2500 vs. 90,000,000.
Ooorah.
“…okay, we’re here; Tehran is just west of here. 667 miles.”
Great. We all know how well he performs under pressure.
Between the Machiavellian motives underlying them and the horrors they unleashed, the Crusades were far worse than many modern people realize.

It figures. Nero had a coin with his face on it, too. Looks kind of like DFT, n’est-ce pas?

Check out my conversation with @julianastratton.bsky.social. She’s the only candidate for US Senate saying Dems should shake up its leadership, abolish ICE, and provide Medicare for All.
Not the death of expertise; just its relocation.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
“How dare you point out our complete failure to consider the most obvious countermeasure to our glorious victory?”
We’re not talking enough about what’s happening in Vermont. There’s no excuse for this brutality. None. Law enforcement has a right to do their job, but their job is to de-escalate, not assault people.
