The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Good assessment of our bleak state.
However, I dislike the framing of “people are using the atmosphere…”, “humans are emitting CO2”. Yes, that is technically the case, but it’s important to clearly name who the villains are: the rich, the fossil fuel companies, and the gov’ts they’ve purchased.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.
This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."
