Gotta wonder what Putin is going to tell him to bomb next.
Did you know that you can set up a reminder to add alt text? Alt text helps vision impaired posters understand images.
Go to Settings, then Accessibility, and make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on - this will prompt you each time you add an image to your post!
Ha, the audacity! You expect me to educate you about information that is public knowledge? Worldwide?! Yeah, no. That's not going to happen. Maybe read, pick up an article, search, get your head out of your behind and you might stop looking ridiculous online. Bye.
Trans people are people.
Trans rights are human rights.
Fuck off if you disagree.
Fix your hearts or die

Yes of course. All are culpable. From top to bottom.
Are you fucking serious right now???
(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.
Well, there are other things too...
Which still won't work! π
Those ice detention centers could be used to house ALL the military personnel that are committing war crimes
Sure sure, 'Clean Wehrmacht' right? Disgraceful.
The new American Dream is to wake up.
Ok.
Demeaning of the work really, not the people that wrote it. Impact matters more than intent and my reply shows it has indeed been read as demeaning.
And you can comment on the jokes being made as well.
It's not that it's hostile to me, but it's demeaning seminal work that contributed to the foundation of democracy and human rights that are being relentlessly attacked today, so I don't believe mocking this text is a particularly wise idea, nor does it help any one of us.
It's good to know history. This document was written while the same people were also fighting for the abolition of slavery and human rights in general. The rights of women were being discussed within the context of fundamental human rights.

I'm going to need you all to NOT do this. You've been doing it for decades & you need to stop.
Take accountability for your own "shit hole" country.
There are signals from various sources that Russia knows it is going to lose in its illegal invasion of Ukraine. We must prevent Donald Trump from assisting Vladimir Putin any further with one of his bullshit deals. Keep the pressure on.
Don't let them get away with it. 'Mentally unfit' leaves a door open for insanity defence. They are treasonous. They are traitors. Of the whole free, democratic world, not just the U.S..
Theyβre mercenaries. Anyone who hasnβt stepped down and refused to fight is committing terrorism.
When does the refusing illegal orders part come in? Watching and waitingβ¦
The whole point of this war is to weaken the U.S. and its army - Putin's orders.
Practically certain.
You don't do very well with empathy, or even concepts do you? Figures.
'us'? What is this 'us' you speak of?
