Brave people. Nazi Germany should have taught us all one big thing: "just following orders" is bullshit.
Some military service personnel have started seeking outside legal counsel about the missions Trump has assigned them.
At least two members of the National Guard have already said they will defy orders to unlawfully occupy Oregon.
This is what we need.
Good people standing up to fascism.

Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

Why do authoritarians like Putin, Xi, Hitler, and Trump "purge" generals and admirals from their armed forces leadership? Take a guess. It's called cementing total control. Can't have a coup without the armed forces on your side. Beware and be scared.
