If this comes to pass are folks just going to be walking in the streets with signs about it as they haul me away? Is anyone going to stand up and protect me? Or are we going to abide by civility while the monster slowly picks us all off?
So now they are openly advocating for my murder and those like me. Cool cool cool cool cool

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

When you’re struggling to cope with physical health conditions & symptoms, too many assume you’re struggling with mindset and mental health, and talking would help.

Actually this often isn’t true.
No amount of talking will ease the symptoms or exhaustion.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.
