I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.
Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”
See where this is going?

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

The music of my childhood was Pete Seeger, Rogers and Hammerstein, and Tom Lehrer. I hope to have 97 years on this Earth. He deserved every one of his. What wit. Satire at its finest.
He left not just a legacy of entertainment and education, but put his songs themselves into the public domain.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.
It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.
She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.
Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.
