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.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

We will need a New new deal, a redistribution of wealth as basic income, guaranteed healthcare, childcare, education, and affordable housing.
We need a restructuring and hardening of all our institutions. Expansion of SCOTUS, congressional term limits, the repeal of Citizens United.

Studies have also shown that people who get their "news" from Fox are more misinformed than people who get no news at all.
Earlier today, I looked quickly at a poll result showing that 1 in 8 Republicans think the No Kings protests were "mostly violent" — and half aren't sure if they were violent or peaceful. www.pbump.net/o/half-of-re...
