Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

At Sand Creek, on Nov. 29, 1864, Captain Silas Soule and Lieutenant Joseph Cramer refused to allow their men to participate in killing about 200 Cheyenne and Arapahoe natives, most of them women and children….
Thinking of illegal orders... today is the anniversary of the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre when the US Army slaughtered 100s of Cheyenne & Arapaho people, mostly women & children. Captain Silas Soule refused orders and helped bring truth to light.

The Sand Creek Massacre comes to mind in reading about U.S. Rep. Jason Crow's call for members of the U.S. military to refuse illegal orders.

Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the killing of survivors in the water after he had ordered an attack on their boat.

If the US is officially at war with Venezuela (it's not) that is a war crime.

If the US is not officially at war, that is murder

Those are the options.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

We welcome support in investigating and prosecuting crime. But pulling a PR stunt and indiscriminately targeting immigrants is not a real solution to a problem.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
