💯🎯 From undoubted Buddhist masters (Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche) to secular ones (UK Greens) to countless intellectuals - their refusal to even consider and study what Maria Popova has illuminatingly expressed here is a tragedy in itself.

TV presenter Rachel Maddow on Trump: "russia is the largest country in the world, but its GDP is like Italy's. The idea that we work for him [putin] is humiliating. I don't know what putin has on him, but he [Trump] works for putin and it's an embarrassment to this country."

Admiral Holsey’s resignation suddenly makes sense. When a regime is indiscriminately blowing up “drug boats” with no evidence, no due process, and no declared war, smart people get out early. He’s not dodging duty — he’s dodging a future date with the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.

Have y'all figured out why the admiral overseeing US Southern Command, Alvin Holsey - resigned?
The man who was originally tasked to lead the forces in the Caribbean?
Do you get it now?
I'd say the Navy lost a good man that day.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

🇺🇦 war exposes a quiet calculation in the West: how many Ukrainian children’s lives are worth sacrificing before giving up even 1% of Western lifestyle & comfort. Aid is being sent, eventually - just enough to ease the conscience. The fact that such moral cost–benefit calculation even exists = horror

This 🇺🇦 war in a nutshell, as it might appear in a history book later on: A lot of Ukrainian children were sacrificed to an evil torturer, so that Western civilization could more or less continue its lifestyle, preferably at minimal cost. Everyone in the West felt basically OK about it.

Politics is not like selling biscuits, where the task is to find out what people like & flog it to them. It's a moral activity. It's about arguing for the things you believe in. It's about *shaping* the "median voter". Farage has moved the centre-ground of politics. His opponents can move it back.

3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: 
“Enter password to confirm”
“Incorrect password”
“Incorrect password”
“Do you want to reset your password?”
“Reset link has been sent to your email”
“Please choose a new password”
“New password can't be the same as old password”
The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9.
