Rory also had some advice for soldiers who are being ordered to participate in Trump's aggression. organizingmythoughts.org/what-do-we-s...
“By every moral or ethical standard it is the duty of soldiers to refuse orders to ‘defend’ the US from migrants. History will look kindly upon those who do. There are millions of people who will support a decision to resist Trump’s orders. National Guard members are better than their Commander-in-Chief. My only advice is to resist in groups. Organize with your fellow soldiers. Do not go this alone. It is much harder to punish the many than the few. Again, hundreds of thousands of people have resisted the orders of the President of the United States in US history. There is much historical precedent for refusal.” — Rory Fanning, author and counter-recruiter

“I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I’ve thought about it,” Kirk said at America Fest. “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

These are rough times. I'm reading "Learning to Live in the Dark" by @learning2live.bsky.social right now. It is helping.
