Prisoner of War Geneva Convention of 1949:

"Prisoners of war shall have for their use…conveniences which conform to the rules of hygiene…Apart from the baths and showers with which the camps shall be furnished prisoners of war shall be provided with sufficient water and soap."
The United States government is treating innocent immigrant children worse than the most basic standards required by international humanitarian law for enemy prisoners of war.
Fox News' Shep Smith (@ShepNewsTeam) correctly explained:

"Were these particular children prisoners of war rather than innocent children, failure to provide those necessities would be a violation of the Geneva Conventions."

The list includes providing: soap, other toiletries, towels, clothing

US Defense official told CNBC snapshot of Iran site “was included in a Friday intelligence briefing.”

So...

1. Iran (and other US adversaries) now know spy capabilities included in POTUS briefings

2. Next time Iran claims US drone was over airspace they’ll have a stronger hand
Here’s the CNBC report (by @amanda_m_macias @KevinWilliamB):

“A U.S. defense official told CNBC that the picture in Trump's tweet, which appeared to be a snapshot of a physical copy of the satellite image, was included in a Friday intelligence briefing.”
cnbc.com/2019/08/30/tru…
“Melissa Hanham ... believes that the resolution is so high, it may be beyond the physical limits at which satellites can operate.
...
That could mean it was taken by a drone or spy plane, though such a vehicle would be violating Iranian airspace.”

Some commentators—including @LizaGoitein @jacklgoldsmith @MonicaHakimi @benjaminwittes—have suggested President Trump has power under emergency legislation (IEEPA) to make good on threats re U.S. business in China

Here's a powerful rebuttal by @jgeltzer

@LizaGoitein @jacklgoldsmith @MonicaHakimi @benjaminwittes @jgeltzer For more analysis

1. Trump ‘hereby’ orders US business out of China. Can he do that?

1. Remarkable Fox poll👇

47% Americans favor impeachment or impeachment and removal
45% oppose impeachment

Plus what Sidney Blumenthal calls "Pelosi effect":

"Many of the Democrats would shift their view if Pelosi and the party unified in favor of an impeachment inquiry."
...
2. Even more Americans likely support #ImpeachmentInquiryNow

A Quinnipiac June poll asked if support Congress investigating to determine whether to bring impeachment charges. Showed even more Americans support investigation now than ready to support impeachment.
3. Links

Fox poll (taken before Mueller hearing):

Maharishi Kannad

Kanad was a sage .Maharishi Kanad first wrote the ideas of this type of self-realization. . These were "hereditary" and used to do austerities by collecting grains of grain and eating it. That is why they were called "Kanad" or "Kanabhuk".
Some have said that they have given a subtle idea of particle i.e. atomic element, hence they are called "Kanad". Some people believe that they used to live in samadhi throughout the day and collect particles in the night. This instinct is that of the "owl" bird.
Whose says that pleased with their austerity, God preached scripture to them as a bird. For this reason, this philosophy is famous by the names of "Aulukya", "Kanad", "Vaishika" or "Pashupat" philosophy.

Please do not get cocky about @realDonaldTrump winning in 2020 keep up the fight daily, do what you can in your local communities (no matter how liberal they are) to help register voters, canvass, talk, debate, stay active, it’s #WAR
There are seats on city counsels, community boards etc that go unchallenged in quiet elections and the same dusty, corrupt people make decisions in small rooms that affect entire areas, if you can’t run, find out when they meet, go sit in. ACTIVATE.
We can’t all be @ScottPresler (he’s a machine❤️) BUT you can sign up on his website to be a volunteer he’s got great ideas and local solutions. #Trump2020

A physicians assessment of tear gas.

Tear gas is a harmless, natural, agent that causes only temporary pain and discomfort. It's a safe alternative to other means of controlling riots and reclaiming order. Sounds like it's not that big of a deal, right?

Wrong.

( 1 of 11 )
Tear gas is, in the words of the Geneva Convention, a chemical warfare agent that is prohibited for use in warfare under the Chemical Weapons Convention. There is no safe form of tear gas. But let's explore how dangerous this chemical is.

( 2 of 11 )
While government & law enforcement officials contend that the effects of tear gas are only temporary, the fact is that even minimal exposure has severe long-term health implications, and while rare, can be immediately lethal.

Happy birthday to the 1949 #GenevaConventions! 69 years ago, after the horrific experiences of World War II, States gathered and adopted 4 Conventions at the Diplomatic Conference in #Geneva. Thread 👇🏼
One year before (in 1948), drafts of the Geneva Conventions were discussed at the 17th International conference of the Red Cross in Stockholm. #GenevaConventions
Sadly, Count Folke Bernadotte - the president of the Swedish Red Cross and president of the International Conference - was killed in Jerusalem a month after the conference.

1} "Jeff, what will trumps ultimate undoing be, in your opinion?"

and

"Which hill will Donald die on?"

Good questions. My answer isn't pretty at all, but it's the truth.

#THREAD - a stream of unconsciousness...
2} Are you ready?

He won't.

Trump is NOT going down.
3} It's April 15th - Do you know where your tax money is?

In the pocket of a Nazi @POTUS and his disgusting family of swine.

WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.
