4. They have established The Orders Project, a referral service for uniformed personnel who need expert and confidential legal counsel to address these complicated questions. Their website is www.nimj.org/caaflog/the-...

3. The National Institute of Military Justice, a non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 1991 to support the fair administration of military justice.

2. However, there is no duty to follow unlawful orders. Navigating these questions is challenging regardless of your rank or position.

1. Are you a service member concerned about a questionable order? In the military, you must follow all lawful orders, even if you disagree with them. Failure to do so can result in adverse administrative action or charges under the UCMJ.

This passage from @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social's book on Hitler's rise to power has long haunted me for the way it describes how so many ordinary Germans had their minds & souls gradually rewired by the changing political climate of the 1930s. Watching something similar happen here is terrifying.

OMG. Must-watch🔥 The brilliant @jimmykimmel.com eviscerates Hegseth, saying: "The Defense Secretary is defenseless—you leak so much, you should be wearing Depends to work." Hegseth desperately tries to justify his incompetence, but he is circling the drain and knows it. Resign, Leaky-Pete!

How many honorable career prosecutors need to resign before Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — himself a former career prosecutor — realizes that the way he is running DOJ is unethical, morally bankrupt, and devastating to the rule of law?

You, me, our families, neighbors and friends can all be next. We need to get over the “it can’t happen to me” syndrome. It can and it is. Call your Reps in Congress. Make as much noise as possible. Get these and other stories like it out onto every social media platform possible. #MomSky

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

RIGHT NOW: Researchers, healthcare, and education workers at the University of Washington are staging a die-in to get the point across: Slashing NIH funding puts critical research & healthcare at risk. To put it simply: Trump’s Cuts Kill. #KilltheCuts

@bostonglobe.com @thewashingtonpost.bsky.social @latimes.com @nytimes.com Really? Page 18? Thousands of people protest? Talk about dereliction of duty to report the news. This was a movement. Of MILLIONS of people. Time to unsubscribe.

A lot of people noticed the Hands Off protests were mostly white women—and peaceful. Isn’t it interesting how protests are peaceful when there aren’t a bunch of cops in riot gear… or white supremacist militia groups lurking around? Listen to this…

While Republicans hide, Cory Booker shows up and gives his constituents a voice. Who’s cutting onions?

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

For fucks sake. Stop fucking lying.

SecDef Hegseth once said: “Any security professional would be fired on the spot and prosecuted for this kind of reckless conduct.” Today, he’s the one endangering national security. By his own standard, he should be gone.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Do you want to talk about #MediaBlackout? How about a fact that no National Media station ever talked about this #VeteransMarch ? - Who are we?! I feel so bad disrespecting our men and women who gave their lives to protect us. Please spread this to wide and far for awareness. 💙🇺🇸

So, I dove into which media outlets covered March 14 #VeteransMarch since there was so little media coverage of the nationwide marches. We should support those that covered it. I've included Bluesky addresses where available and who owns the outlets. The only major outlet was @usatoday.com 1/12
