Let’s tell it like it is.
It’s not “ICE is conducting mass deportations”, it’s “the Trump Regime is engaging in a campaign of ethnic cleansing using a secretive police force which has no accountability”.
Anyone who thinks they’ll stop with those who aren’t here legally is fooling themselves.

I understand the impulse to blame Bill Cassidy for the harm that RFK Jr. is causing and he deserves a hefty share of it, but every single GOP Senator who supported his nomination also deserves blame. There's no excuse for any of them. None.

“ICE just pepper-balled a moving car in Durham, NC-sending it off the road. Reckless force, zero accountability. In ’29, this era of unregulated state aggression ends.” Hart ‘28 Dem Pursuing.com 🇺🇸🙏

U.S. legislators: "Soldiers and sailors, if you are ordered to kill someone and you believe the order is unlawful, don't do it. Remember your oath to The Constitution.
U.S. President: "Kill the legislators."
Am I missing something? Anything at all?
I still have characters left, if so.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard just announced they won’t classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols anymore they’re calling them ‘potentially divisive.’ Potentially divisive? Listen, a noose isn’t a conversation starter. A swastika isn’t a debate topic. They are dangerous hate symbols. Full stop

The Murder Khashoggi Warned Us About
Jamal Khashoggi wasn’t just a journalist. He was a warning. And the world turned away.
He was investigating a chain of corruption that went straight from the halls of the Trump White House to the palace of Mohammed bin Salman.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Disobeying illegal orders cannot be sedition. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, article 92, requires service members to follow LAWFUL orders. If an order is illegal, they have a duty to DISOBEY. Obeying an illegal order can result in criminal liability.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes.
Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it.
Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.
