I worked in Office of General Counsel at Department of Defense. This by Dan Maurer, former JAG, is spot on.
Hypothetical Legal Advice to SecDef Hegseth on “No Quarter” Statement (from Office of General Counsel)
Warns of criminal liability
Gives legal precedents
Recommends retraction of statement
I don't care about respect. I want to be desired...
Longer than that. How many people in the former Confederacy still hate The North?
This is disturbing. Someone at a military contractor or in government can make a pile betting on a strike or invasion somewhere and somewhen.
I can tell I'm one of the little people - I had no idea this was a thing.

All right, the dogs want walks but it's raining so I'm procrastinating. Gonna do a thread that's been on my mind for a long while, about exactly what "never again" means.
"Never again" got famous after the Holocaust & it's frequently deployed since--in response to, say, the US Japanese internment.

🧵 Today, we're going to learn about The USS Sumter Three — and the mutiny charges that should never have happened. It's apropos for #BlackHistoryMonth—because most people never knew about it.

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."
Wasn't that one of the eight wars Trump ended?
I went to high school there when labor unions still mattered. It tilted VERY Democrat.
Kyle Rittenhouse: X
Kantrell Williams, Markus Brown and Tanisha Jackson: ✔️
Deciding it’s too dangerous to reveal just how unpopular the current president is seems like the worst poll result ever.
Who was griping about "lawfare" all through the Biden administration? Did I imagine it?
I just was just reading an article about football in which the writer referred to a player having "a good final second half of the season." I'm not sure whether he's bad at math, English, or logic. I guess "more than one" could be the answer.
Right! The Klan is keenly interested in history, particularly preventing people from learning certain parts of it.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.
Isn't taking the family "child abuse"?
Scott Horton © 5h In Minneapolis ordinary people with no connection whatsoever to Mexico are now fying Mexican flags, so ICE officers will waste hours pulling them over and questioning them. They call it “ICE fishing." H/t Mayra 2 106 2 1051 vy 4238 99 i) 145 Quote Reposted users Liked users

It's good to know they're as competent as they are honest.
I swear, Democratic leadership could be looking at a 100% approval rating for their positions and still find a way to lose.
A "D" by your name stands for "Disqualified".
Yes!
The people in the administration doing things like this wouldn't even be believable as the villains in a bad action movie. "C'mon, no one would buy that a human being could be that evil."
I'm old enough to remember when it was SOP for someone running for the Presidency to release their tax records themselves to show they had nothing to hide.
What makes those behind this think the American people are OK with it? This is mad-villain-from-a bad-action-movie type behavior.
I'm the single father and primary caregiver of a disabled daughter who is almost exactly the same age as Wael. This is cruel and inhuman.

I mean even the fucking White House is backtracking (however slightly). If Dems EVER had a moment to get their messaging right... it's now. Executing US citizens and kidnapping children is not law enforcement.
They have to shoot as many people as possible before Congress pulls their funding and they can't buy bullets anymore.
ICE shot another person, but this one lived long enough to be airlifted. They’re in critical condition at this time.
