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."

With his restless imagination, Tom Stoppard showed us a mind on the move
The questing Czech-born playwright gave us plays that looked at an implausible arcadia, an impossible utopia and affecting notions of home

Hoping that every creature, the world over, finds a moment, today, to give thanks for whatever or whomever it may be that graces their lives with blessings as simple and as enkindling as Ms. Oliver's "dear star."

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all.

“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in — what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”

~~ Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
This oil on canvas painted at the end of the garden went through various phases. It looks interesting at this stage but went on to get stodgy and overworked. I have it in mind to attack this one again when the weather gets warmer. It's taking up space so it's that or maybe chuck it.

Trump's real Sec'y of State isn't Marco Rubio. It's businessman Steve #Witkoff, longtime friend/golf buddy of Trump’s.

Never confirmed by Congress. Not part of the diplomatic corps. Tied to the Russian Mafia.

Sabe, isso me deixa muito chateado.

A Marina Silva é umas das grandes especialistas nesse mundo em “fracassar com dignidade”, ainda que também tenha sucessos monumentais: na eleição de 2014, na COP30, até no seu próprio partido.

A Marina não devia ser o oásis no deserto, e sim o exemplo que guia
No momento mais emocionante da Plenária Final, Marina Silva @marinasilva.bsky.social é aplaudida de pé por mais de 3 minutos após seu discurso de encerramento da #COP30 em Belém. Ela se consagra como a maior liderança ambiental e climática do mundo.

Is #Trump so hellbent on getting a Nobel Peace Prize (of all awards!) that he would throw Pres. #Zelenskyy & his 39M countrymen/women under the bus to get it?

Talk about betrayal!
In secret plan brokered by U.S. & Russia, Ukraine's sovereignty would effectively end. Outrage throughout Europe. Unacceptable to Ukraine.
U.S. media? Absent. Per usual.

Once again, Trump-directed DOJ machinations backfire. Hugely.

In a huge blow to Trump, a federal court Tuesday delivered a devastating blow to Texas Republicans’ attempt at a mid-decade gerrymander.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.
