Good Morning Friendly Skies. My morning flower to brighten your day.
In 2015 my mother passed & I pledged to post a flower a day because we shared a love of flowers & their beauty. I did it actually 4 years. So I have a ton of flowers shots I can share. Today pink dogwoods.

“….WAR CRIME…”
As former Bush OLC leader Jack Goldsmith writes, the DOD manual prohibits killing shipwrecked enemies. If reporting is correct, killing helpless men clinging to boats was a war crime.

A perfect morning in El Cerrito…
My wife organized a fun gathering at Castro Park for our school’s kindergarten kids and parents.
And on our walk home a friend saw us and invited us in to meet the four six week old kittens they’re fostering. 🐈🐈⬛😻

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.
