There is also no Department of War or Gulf of America => Don randomly renaming things is not an actual thing. An EO does not automatically make it so legally.

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.

FYI: the EXAMPLE of what a war crime is in the DoD Law of War manual is EXACTLY what Hegseth did. bsky.app/profile/jjin...
⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075:
"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

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."

Reminder:
Obamacare today isn't the plan Obama signed into law.
Republicans destroyed a main pillar of the law when they struck down the individual mandate This contributed to rising premiums by making the applicant pools riskier for the health insurers.

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.

Really wild to see Trump march toward war with Venezuela without even going through the motions of manufacturing consent … he’s just like going to do it.

“You’re ugly inside and out”
“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”
This is how the President speaks to female journalists.
The men in the room need to call out his misogyny.
Demand better. Don’t let him demean women this way.
