If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

kirk's wife sees his naziism as divine, is totally cool with his death because it advances the nazi cause
Charlie Kirk received death threats over the past year and had been traveling with a security team. In an interview, his wife, Erika Kirk, said she had implored him to start wearing a bulletproof vest. But she said she sees divine work in his death. “I’m a strong believer that this was God’s plan.”

Latest death threat said "it's so obvious you're the spawn of the devil" and that I should "prepare to meet Charlie" and uhh...I'm not really sure these folks understand their own theology tbh

Look I am clearly a heavy social media user but I also don’t need to validate my social media use by imagining that a politician having someone on their team who is good at making memes means that they would be a great president and have good policy ideas

Like please be serious

I offered a simple amendment that wouldn’t cost a cent: Let’s make sure new moms who work for us in Congress are guaranteed breaks to pump.

Every single Republican voted no.
