NEW: This is what a ceasefire involving the Israeli government looks like. This was Beirut a few hours ago. 100 targets carpet-bombed in 10 minutes by the IDF across Lebanon. Schools, hospitals and even funerals obliterated. State terrorism. (🎥 Hadi Nasrallah)

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Not one word of this is hyperbole.
AOC:

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.

To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

JD Vance accuses EU of ‘interference’ as he visits Hungary to help Orbán win election
US vice-president rails against ‘bureaucrats in Brussels’ interfering in Sunday’s vote as he arrives in Budapest JD Vance has railed against the EU, accusing it of blatantly interfering in Hungary’s upcoming elections, even as the US vice-president said he had travelled to Budapest to “help” Viktor Orbán win Sunday’s vote. Speaking to reporters shortly after landing in Budapest on Tuesday, Vance’s tone was combative as he alleged that the EU was responsible for “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference” he had ever seen.

Spare me the "it's dual use" argument. What do you think he means when he writes: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." That's not about taking out military infrastructure. I'm sorry that you're in a shitty situation. You know what you have to do.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

⚠️ If you are in the Pentagon today working to JUSTIFY a target list including clearly civilian infrastructure, you are complicit in war crimes. You swore an oath. You have a duty to say "no." The consequences will be rough, but obeying will be worse.
NUREMBERG, IN A NUTSHELL
FOLLOWING ORDERS IS NOT A DEFENSE.
OBEDIENCE DOES NOT ABSOLVE RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU POSSESS FREE WILL.
YOU ARE EXPECTED TO EXERCISE MORAL JUDGMENT.
IF AN ORDER IS UNLAWFUL, IMMORAL, OR CRIMINAL, YOU MUST REFUSE IT.
ACCOUNTABILITY IS PERSONAL.
RESPONSIBILITY IS INDIVIDUAL.
CULPABILITY CANNOT BE DELEGATED.
"I WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS" IS AN ADMISSION - NOT AN EXCUSE.

Dear 
@thejointstaff
: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes.

Striking civilian infrastructure that causes disproportionate civilian harm constitutes war crimes.

You will disobey those illegal orders.

If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.
