Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Siphoning public money out of certain fields of education, like health care and social services, and into more "lucrative" fields is so on point for the MAGA regime, which cares only about enriching the rich, who very soon will be the only ones able to access quality care.

Just another day according to the complicit US mainstream media, reporting on this as though it were normal and acceptable.

Rosa Parks sitting on the bus, refusing to give up her seat

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

The leading historian of conflict says the atrocities in Ukraine are rooted in a uniquely brutal mindset that can be traced back centuries. And Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump appear fully to embrace the Soviet perspective on official cruelty. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11...

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

I didn't think that was possible but here we are...

Nice ring!

Yes!

He has apologized, said it was a sickening lapse in judgment. Barack Obama hired Tom Homan and looked the other way when Homan instituted the policy long before Trump's election to a 1st term. I'd say Taylor has shown more conscience than the man who gave Homan an award for his deportation rate.

And ablutions! Every damsel in distress went on endlessly about her morning ablutions 😄

Murder Most Foul.

I suddenly feel young again (and quite old). Missing the old Boston Garden. Saw so much history made in that building!

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

MAGA: The party of "I got mine, fuck you."

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

Squirrel enjoying a lunch of sunflower seeds as snow begins to fall in northern New England.

Does anyone remember the Gothic mysteries of Dorothy Daniels? I consumed those things voraciously as a preteen. It's where I learned "reticule" was another word for purse 👛 🤣

Agree or disagree?

Thank you for finally calling out FOTUS's and his regime's racism.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

A Federal judge said that the deployment of national guard to DC is illegal. He paused the removal to not cause chaos until the after the expected appeal.

Technically, they are following illegal orders by being there.

Why aren't the Governors recalling their troops from our cities?

Cartoon by @deadder.bsky.social.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

Mainstream, sadly, I agree. There are some independent media I trust, but they aren't exactly objective. I fear there are no media where one can find both, which means journalism is basically dead.
