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."

Did you know several issues of Factsheet Five are available over at the @archive.org? The corpus isn't complete & the process of cleaning and OCR'ing images can be slow/painful, but the hope is that this allows more folks to read & research 80s-90s zine culture. archive.org/search?query...

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Also a reminder for those who are not aware: the Nazis' first plan for their designated internal enemies was "remigration".

The Nazis quickly discovered that this is impossible, and it's much easier and simpler to just exterminate people.

That is where these ideas inevitably lead.

Kash Patel fired a senior FBI official with 27 years of experience… because Patel was embarrassed Americans found out he used a $60 million government jet for dates with his girlfriend. Unbelievable.

All right, I’m going to make coffee, but I will leave you with this: one of the most radical acts of resistance both to fascism and to Covid right now is to wear a mask. Build communities around wearing masks, etc. Get vaccinated do what you can to protect yourselves and others in your life.

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.

Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.

You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Why can't all the Dems open the house. A quorum is currently all the Dems +2. Declare the Speakership abandoned. Open the house. Why is this not happening already? there are ways to play offense. Let the Repubs cry "you can't do that!" for a change.
