Of course, this doesn’t change the fact that our treasonous president couldn’t care less about the laws of war, the Constitution, etc.
I wish this video by lawmakers about "illegal orders" was better. Some say soldiers "can" refuse orders. Another says "must."
As someone who worked with an authority on Nuremberg for 20 years, I'm here to say:
YOU MUST REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The real lesson tonight.
At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Almost all fundraising appeals are annoying. But where did this “Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in to my campaign” approach come from? Super annoying and pathetic.

University presidents and other leaders have a choice: actively resist this nonsense or be part of a historical undoing of the American university. And if they have the courage for the former, it should be loud and public.
