If you know anyone that is active duty or reserves right now, please send them this. It's the most fundamental part of training that troops have a duty to refuse illegal orders.

Many former victims are realizing for the first time they were used by a system.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

It’s driving me a little insane to see all this “protester” lingo.
Like yea there are protests..
But if masked, armed thugs invade your neighborhood and terrorize your community, standing against that is not “protesting”.
That’s an attempt to maintain safety. The government made itself the danger.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

ICE agents would be disqualified from working in California law enforcement and inside the public school system under a new bill introduced in the Legislature this week.
