The people have to get more involved.There's an opportunity today to get the word out to a lot of people at the Super Bowl. Whether from the athletes in the field or the artists during half-time. Make it a Jesse Owens vs Hitler moment. https://sports.yahoo.com/internet-lot-nfl-removing-end-161836077.html and fact check the commercials
Last I looked. Anyone in the Military from a General/Admiral down to a E-1 can refuse a direct order if it's unlawful/illegal. Service members have a legal, enforceable duty to obey only lawful orders from those authorized to give orders. Articles 90 and 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The fear is that the hotline is connected to officials that will eventually come after those that report the incident to begin with. ALL trust is gone.
Spread the word, people. Now is the time to have each other's back. Stand together. Stand strong. Leave no one behind. We are not alone. Make sure everyone knows this.
Hello and thank YOU for your service. 🙏🏾
I noticed a ‘misinformation’ mod label on this post. Any clarification is appreciated as I am of the belief that some #BADACTORS unmentioned here have subverted the integrity of #bluesky.
Freedom isn't free.
We've always had to fight for it and it's ordinary people who did fight who got it when they united together and they didn't always need guns or weapons either.
The Arab Spring uprising was triggered by, among other things
Energy prices
Authoritarianism
Inflation
Kleptocracy
Political corruption
Poverty
Sectarianism
Agreed. That's what the FBI agents, homeland security and local police SHOULD have done during the 'summer of love" when governors ordered them to stand down, while BLM and Antifa burned cities to the ground and killed so many people.
cheeto is a draft dodger coward. He does not deserve to lick your boots.
Americans love and respect all of our military.
Please don't turn against us if cheeto orders you to shoot while we protest. That's not your job.
We will never turn against you like they did our officers on January 6th.
In the end I think the only thing that will save the Republic is if those in the DOD, DOJ, Treasury, and FBI remember that they took the oath to the US Constitution, and not to any one man or woman. This "coup" is an inside job. It will not be stopped by using violence, but by refusal...
to illegally apply violence and coercion on Americans in the name of Dear Leader. Americans will definitely need help from within the government to "win."
THANK YOU!! This is probably not getting ahead of the game, but at least recognizes where this is going. Every right thinking American with ties to the military should be put on the highest awareness that this choice is likely to come. We must make them aware!! THANK YOU!!
Agreed. Military members, you took the same oath as me, a DOD employee. You don't have to obey unlawful orders. Review the history of what happened to the NAZI military members who committed war crimes. They were prosecuted and some received prison or even death sentence. Don't do it !
Remember the voices before us! And remember the ones after us. But we will never forget what it took for us to be free. We must never let the division win. We are love hated by flawed character. We shall unite! #resist
I'm Canadian, and even I know the part in the oath about defending the constitution against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC!!! I just hope enough people will remember it when the orange king will oder your military to shoot at us. The country who was always there on the side of the U.S.
I live close to both the Peace Bridge and Lewiston borders and I can’t help but wonder on any given day, if American troops have been deployed to both borders.
The officers and enlisted personnel do not have to comply with an unlawful order and are protected by the UCMJ. Senior officers likewise do not have to comply with any bullshit that trump passes down.
No soldier has the right to follow an unlawful order. If it goes against the constitution, it’s an unlawful order. Your political views don’t play into it and, in the end, you’ll be at fault, not the one who gave you the order.
This post is consequentially important. It's a fork in the road for what kind of nation we could be.I wouldn't be surprised if enlistment is up because people want to protect our US constitution from unlawful orders. I know a few people who wanted to enlist to save our country and get free training.
Active duty military and National Guard are in a precarious situation. Far too many members are MAGA and are ready to do whatever their CO tells them. The ones who decide the order is “illegal” must be ready for the ramifications. Just saying No isn’t going to fly. Glad my son isn’t active duty.
At some point, they will not be able to live with themselves if they don’t disobey. It will be different for everyone. Not many Germans defied orders to murder civilian children, women elderly Jewish people
i'm not in the military but Hitler made the military sign an oath to declare unquestioning loyalty to Hitler... after that it was over, that was the last step in the takeover
Your post is Loverly. Also remember bone spurs there is a pandemic currently. Give as good as you get I say, if they cure with time maybe you can complete your ilegal order after years of paid for therapy & government checks except for your service/sacrifice. Taking the pic leaving this gif. DC FTW!

Military is sworn to uphold and protect the constitution NOT a president or party. If they took their oath seriously this should be a no brainer and call, speak out let the world know.
@raskin.house.gov Please start a class action suit against Trump as you described on The Weekend! Millions of us are waiting for a leader and event that will bring us together in force.This would generate huge energy and could be a beginning of the end - our SOLIDARITY! Please be our Lech Walesa!
Treason is punishable up to capital punishment. That Orange man will attempt to escape in the night and leave everyone else to be tried and found guilty.
The military swears oath to the constitution FIRST. Those who are ready to violate the constitution are cowards who have no right to be called Veteran.
I’m sure some will. Some will obey those orders, and some will obey the oath they took to uphold and defend the us constitution. I promise you, not everyone will follow orders blindly.
There is a reason why the term Nuremberg Defense is a thing. Don’t fall into that trap if you’re a service member. You serve the Constitution, not a man.
But isn’t Doge going to investigate the the administration of veterans affairs this week? Who knows what they might call ineffective, it might be the hotline? I’m just saying 🤷🏽♀️ these guys are on a mission to destroy our country. Additionally leaving us to be prey for our enemies smh.
That’s actually a really good point. He may leave us vulnerable to another country’s attack and then blame the attack on everyone else. The victim complex is real with that guy.
I always go back to a quote from Terminator 2: “We’re not going to make it, are we? Humans I mean.” It’s incredibly self reflective and deep quote for a sci-fi action movie in the 90’s.
Good question and here's my answer for everyone, buy a cheap burner phone. The untraceable one-time usage jobs like Sam and Dean use on supernatural. Then just hang on to it and keep it charged. It'll be there when you need it.
PLEASE REPOST - If you can’t join in person here are days for economic protests. Call every big company you spend with, ask what they’re doing to protect your data or safety.

Standing up for what's right takes courage. If you're in this position, know there's support. Protecting Constitutional rights is the real act of service. 🙌 #GIRights
No, they won't. They will NEVER get the picture. Our best hope is that the overwhelming majority signed up just to pay for college, because the rest are trigger happy dimwits with a hero complex, who would GLADLY shoot their neighbor if they're accused of being a 'Murica hatin' commie.
Here’s another way they probably can’t avoid being affected - their parents will probably have to live with them, without the benefit of social security and Medicare.
They’ll be using a handsome chunk of their lowered incomes to keep them alive, too.
Consequences will never actually matter to them, and by the time they realize how badly this is going to be for everyone, it will have been FAR too late to matter. They'll be affected, and they'll absolutely deny it's because of him. They're literally blaming OBAMA for the plane crashes.
I'd take a bullet to my frontal lobe before I EVER did anything like that to another human being. I'd also take that same bullet in an attempt to keep others from doing that to my family -- or any other decent people.
In my case, if I were a soldier stuck in that position, I'd probably walk into the barracks and go all kamikaze on them bastassturds starting with the ones I don't like the most first.
Let's just kick em all out of office. I break down the Seditious Conspiracy and Treason charges in the attached post. 2381 treason doesn't require courts.
Just like Germany, America VOTED to unleash a monster and, again, just like Germany, America will have to bear the consequences of unleashing such a powerful monster.
In Europe, we say ‘Lest We Forget’ when remembering and commemorating WW2, sadly, many people in America seem to have forgotten ….
31% of our eligible voters voted for Trump. Please try and remember that. Our entire society is based around consumerism and those are the exact avenues Trump used to reach the most uneducated and ruthless of us all.
In a perfect world. Remember our military is run by civilians/citizens. Besides the CIC (🍊🤡) The military is also run by a drunk white nationalist. The Joint Chiefs of Staff are being carefully monitored.
mad men make sure they have more fire power and the important people on their sides i.e supreme court and generals ...they will do what they are told before adhering to paper
Ex Navy officer here , non American, i swore a similar oath , not to a political figure or party, but constitution and country.
And that is non negotiable.
It's NOT fine to be Republican. The time to make that distinction was a decade ago. That's the whole point of why we're here, the GOP and MAGA are one in the same, and they did it to themselves. Those actually ashamed of what the party is now, literally don't claim to be Republican anymore
Many, yes. 😫Thankfully, a lot of conservative vets have spoken out publicly against tRump. There are plenty here on this app. There are also plenty of left-leaning veterans (my husband included) who are standing up in opposition.
Yeah people look at the national guard and think gee that's to protect the people. When the original militias were formed One of the first things they did was put down the whiskey rebellion
Maybe I'm pessimistic, but I think many (maybe even most) agree with the orders and will willingly comply. Immigration agents will be some of the worst.They are now feeling empowered and justified to "legally" go full asshole. Much like police departments, the good ones get pushed (shoved) out
Know what troubles me way deep down in my nethers ? Trump is a man of a million resentments. And one of them that really eats him up is that he couldn't force the US military to open fire on a crowd of peaceful demonstrators.
Does this line also apply if you've been ordered to commit a war crime, such as the ethnic cleansing of Gaza ? No snideness behind that question. I sincerely want to know what an American soldier does if ordered to do something they know to be criminal.
That is a failure on your part to understand the timeline & how the military works. would have MAGA replaced me? No, In 93, when I resigned my commission in 93 MAGA didn’t exist. Do I care what happens now? fuck no, I am out of the military & my adult daughter doesn’t live in the United States.
Half of them are trigger happy dimwits who think anyone not MAGA is a 'Murica hatin' commie libtard and the actual threat. Our best hope, is that too many members are there just to pay for college.
that heel spur multiple draft/tax dodging felon 47 is given 2 blustered about sending US Military Personal All over the world, how many wonder if they come back a 'loser' or 2 an email 2 quit
not 2 mention who they swore allegiance
I believe the military is the only thing capable of stopping Trump and co in their tracks. They are sworn to defend the constitution, not Trump. Unfortunately, the civil war that people are talking about is likely to happen in the ranks of the military, when they are forced to step in.
he Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed IN 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.
So 47 called this past Sunday “Gulf of America day“
Are we also going to have a day for all the people who died in airplane crashes since the new administration began. The callus behavior of this administration is incredible! Can you imagine if this happened under Biden 😐
It’s really hard and sad to say. But with this new administration will any agency be allowed to fight for the rights of people or will they be forced to bow out and take no action.
Don’t tell us you don’t know what your orders are, we have seen that move before. Your oath is to the U.S. constitution not to a president and you must protect the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.
The American people need to know their enemy is the 1% who convinced them scientists, diversity & teachers were evil.They bought the media (Washington Post, LA Times, Twitter, etc).They bought your politicians (Citizens United). Now they have bought the United States (Trump & Elon). #treason

And I know - KNOW - in my heart, servicemen of all branches understand thier responsibilities.
And what that entails...

Justice got many in the end. Interestingly the Americans employed a clumsy hangman. Some executions were uhhh interesting affairs.
