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.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

@fadeinpro.com Hi. I haven’t updated (Mac) since 4.2 (took a break from writing for a bit but I’m back to it now), and can’t find the email with my original download link. Is there anything I can do to still upgrade? Thank you

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social over the years I have been a voracious reader of SCOTUS news and analysis (Dahlia Lithwick has always been a favorite) and I just wanted to say that what you do is unquestionably the best and most thoughtful reporting I have ever read.

@fadeinpro.com If I'm still on Fade In V 4.2 can I directly download 5.0 to upgrade? And if so where do I go to do that I can't find it on the site anywhere. Thank you!

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?
