NOW HEAR THIS: Every service member has an OBLIGATION to NOT carry out “Blatantly” Unlawful orders: 1) COMMIT A CRIME OR WAR CRIME 2) VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION 3) VIOLATE TREATIES & INTL LAWS 4) VIOLATE THE UCMJ 5) ORDERS YOU TO ABUSE YOUR POSITION OR AUTHORITY OR SUPERIORS PERSONAL GAIN

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

If that video makes Miller mad you know you have to watch it. Senators along with Congresspersons made that video to inform servicemen that they do not have to follow the orders if they go against the constitution.

Today’s Daily Stoic: “.. The call to courage is not simply the call to conquer fear. It is the call to conquer fear in service of something greater than yourself. To speak the truth, even when it costs you. To do what’s right, even when it’s hard.” @dailystoic.com.web.brid.gy dailystoic.com

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

What’s the difference between compromise and capitulation? Compromise trades concessions. Capitulation pays ransom to stop deliberate suffering, and teaches your opponent that coercion works. There are effective responses to coercive bargaining. What we saw was not one of them.

@glennkirschner.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com @tribelaw.bsky.social This opens the door for Jack Smith to challenge Trump’s INVALID PARDON Present the case of Insurrection in the Supreme Court. He cannot pardon his co-conspirators or himself.

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table. For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

Oh hey, a reason to be hopeful: groves of American chestnut trees have once again become self-reproducing in the wild. Turned off comments so 12 people don't show up to tell me why this is actually very sad. Be happy, you assholes.

“The benefits of liberalism, though, are largely not separable from the philosophy of liberalism…Far from being a boring and stale political project, we should remind people of the bold claims of liberal ideas and the astonishing success they’ve already had.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Last week, rogue ICE agents attacked an apartment complex in South Shore, Chicago—unlawfully terrorizing families in their own homes. Young children zip were tied. Homes were ransacked. Entire families—including U.S. citizens—were forced into vans like cattle. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

“Democrats are negotiating about policy when they should be negotiating about power. The only compromises Democrats should accept in exchange for bailing out the GOP Congress are ones that would either rebalance the government, or put limits on executive power.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Tonight at midnight, the government runs out of money. Donald Trump and Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House. But they refuse to even negotiate with Democrats to fix this urgent health care crisis. People want Congress to make life more affordable NOW.

Donald Trump just threatened to take away even more health care from American families. Period. This is what Republicans are supporting.

“Our job is not to go around picking up the shards of what there was and trying to tape them back together,” Pete Buttigieg told a London audience. www.advocate.com/news/pete-bu...

- there's ~38000 ICE officers - at $80,000 a year, that's $3,040,000,000 for ICE salaries - divide the 59,792 in ICE detention by that salary - $50,842 dollars PER ARREST - detaining costs $160 per person per day ($58,400 per year) WE COULD JUST GIVE THEM CITIZENSHIP. racism is expensive.

Seeing so many people spreading the word about the No Kings rally on October 18th. Trump is scrambling to mobilize as much of the National Guard as he can to control the narrative, he was rattled by the last one on his birthday.

It’s great news that the Trump regime’s military deployment in LA was ruled illegal. However, the National Guard continues to occupy DC, and we know this regime doesn’t follow the rule of law. Learn how you can prepare for more deployments using the resistance toolkit: bit.ly/resistancetoolkit.

Excellent question... and possible answer.
