This year, many people resigned their posts at the slightest hint that the Trump regime was displeased with them instead of staying and making someone fire them.
Sharyn Alfonsi is showing us why you stay and refuse: you make clear your superiors are wrong and may them pay the costs of firing you.

There's something very sick about the fact that ordinary bill payers and not the privately owned corporations are paying for the water and electricity to power these data centers which enable the AI that will eventually take a lot of their jobs

Hey @MarshaBlackburn — if people with drugs thousands of miles away not even coming here are “terrorists” who can be bombed without due process, what does that say about Big Pharma companies you helped shield from accountability as their opioid crisis killed scores of Americans?

My ex's grandma's cooking was justly feared by all. At one grisly holiday feast her daughter-in-law whimpered, "Dorothy, how did you get the turkey to *taste* like that," and she beamed, "Well, I cook the turkey the night before, and I slice it and I leave it out overnight to dry."

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.
