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.
Although the ADL has a loud voice, as an American who is Jewish, it does not speak for me nor my community.
Whatβs happening here is that the 30% of the country that wants, like Mike Johnson, to impose its right wing religious values on the country using state power is falsely accusing the 1.3% of the US population that is Muslim of wanting to impose their religion on the country using state power.
Attacking a synagogue in Metro Detroit is not protesting US and Israeli aggression, it's an act of blatant antisemitism.
I think it's fair to say Democrats are also comfortable with critical thinking

Iβm sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.
Keep fighting, but don't stop with "transparency".

If @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov go through with funding billions more for Trump's apocalyptic Iran war, congrats, the tail has successfully wagged the dog.

I wrote about the US strategy of making Israel the public face of an unpopular war that the US decided to fight, and how it parallels the way the Christian sovereign would use the Court Jew to take the fall for bad decisions made by the ruler: forward.com/opinion/8096...
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.
But they said he was βThe peace president.β π₯΄
Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.
I remember camping out at the record store to get tickets as soon as they opened and scalpers tried to get in line with us Heads. We all bought our tickets, and kept the scalpers occupied until the shows were sold out.
It's never been about sports
NYPD responds to a snowball fight, and cries about being hit with snowballs. JFC, these clowns really are snowflakes
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
