(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarterβeven the declaration of no quarterβis a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
Itβs looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
The Epstein class is making money off this war. The other 99% of Americans are getting screwed out of basically everything.
βDolly Parton Childrenβs Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure βevery child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.ββ
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
Who on the left pushed D*nald the Dove?!?!
Seems to be the patternβ¦
The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.
If you want to distract from the Epstein Files, maybe don't name your act of war something that also has the initials E F.
Epstein Fury?
Epic Files?
We live in a grotesquely absurd timeline.
This aged well. Note the author.
The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
Reminder: Trump is calling to β¬οΈ the military budget by ~$550 bn, more than a 50% β¬οΈ
This is on the heels of the largest cuts to the social safety net in history AND a $150 bn military β¬οΈ in OBBBA.
There isnβt enough money to help the hungry and the sick β but somehow thereβs always enough for war.
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, thatβs when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
Weβre not being governed, weβre being looted.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism
These guys are mentally preparing us for the next Great Depression they are about to intentionally cause
This is how screwed up everything is. The DOD shot down a CBP drone which cause the FAA to shut down the airspace around El Paso. We have stupid idiots in all levels of all agencies thanks to this Regime.
If we go to war, GOD help us.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.
Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. Weβre about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. Thereβs no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.
Itβs only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.
What else is the regime hiding from us?
Thereβs only 1 person in Congress who doesnβt trade stocks, doesnβt take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. Thatβs me. And it should be the standard.
Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."
Hard to believe the president of the United States shared a racist post just a week ago β and itβs already vanished from the headlines.
"They want to make you think twice before you and other lawmakers cut similar videos or speak out against the administration's actions. I presume you're not going to be intimidated, but do you think others might be?"
"They already have been." @captmarkkelly.bsky.social joins @samsteindc.bsky.social
Yes!!!
We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.
