Service Members would require and annual or biennial training on what the constitution permits, prohibits, and does not address. Then education on how to verify that orders/actions are lawful. Then a process on reporting and protecting whistleblowers.

It won't happen, because the education, training, and reporting/supporting apparatus would essentially be undermining the military chain of command.

I'm simply pointing out that the statement of, "You are allowed to reject unlawful orders" is performative.

Without a process in place to guide folks on HOW people can identify and then safely defy unlawful orders, this is useless.

This is performative and unproductive.

I hope his success continues.

Mostly to spite Daboll and the Mara family.

After the Giants fired coach Daboll, it's clear that the team was doing something incorrect in scheming or preparation to hinder Jones' success.

How are you feeling about Daniel Jones and the Colts organization now?

Happy Veteran's Day. 🇺🇸

Some young people did, yes.

I think the data would support the idea that many others, the majority of people, are generally unaware of what is happening, what it means for their futures, and how this is earily similar to the recent socio-political past.

When factoring in what the digital world exposes them to by showing them things the algorithm has debunked they already want to see... yes.

Not because the internet exists, but because of how companies use the internet to shape opinion and spin stories.

You allude to having a disagreement with the OP regarding younger peoples' critical-thinking, and I'm partly responding to OP and addressing your disagreement with that assessment.

Young folks have a unique experience with information having nothing to do with accuracy or inspiring learning.

I do think that younger people have opportunities to develop critical analysis, but it's not because they are silly.

All under-25s have grown up in a world of targeted internet ads, electronic/financial monitoring, shifting educational priories, & corporate-political enfranchisement.

You folks are fantastically hilarious.
Taking reality to the extreme!

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

John Brown did nothing wrong on this day in 1859.

The way Daniel Jones has played through 5 weeks demonstrates that his production in New York may have been due to something in the Giants organization.

Good luck to the Colts and fans for the next 12 weeks.

You folks win the internet regularly.

Daniel Jones is 2-0, and the Giants are 0-2.

Wild.

I think it's worth stating that the disenfranchised have historically repelled violence against them with arms.

Women, BIPOC, & LGBTIQA+ folks have been buying guns and training with them since the 2020 pandemic lockdowns.

Don't vote to disarm yourself in the hope that oppressors will be disarmed.

Clearly the plan is to get a lottery pick in the 2026 draft.

Maybe they need candidates that inspire participation.

The most recent baking attempt and the cinnamon rolls simply refuse to expand/spread!

I want to understand how folks mobilize national protests and effective group action.

Because there are several instances in my life where it is clear to me that something in a peer or work group needs to change and I cannot get 35 people to agree to take action.

I think it's interesting the news agencies are calling this an M4, which is the military designation for a fully automatice AR-15 model.

Nevada allows class 3 firearms, but guy must have broken several federal laws getting it to NYC.

Blessings to the injured & to friends/families of those killed.

And folks will ignore the warnings of lawsuits and corruption investigations to vote for Adams in November!

Some people are so petrified of a potentially-city-saving new person, they prefer to keep complaining about the familiar & broken status-quote!

Hopefully folks can understand what was meant by, "Defund the Police!".

This nation has been a police state and the warnings were refuted, argued against, and minimized.

How is it?

I have a Dumas compilation, with this and Three Musketeers. I honestly couldn't get into the Musketeers, so I didn't read Count, because I loved the 2002 Guy Pearce remake and don't want to ruin that joy.

I'm not sure how you were feeling on 4 July, but I was not in a celebratory mood.

The Republic is in peril.

Bleak, but appropriate for the moment.

This is brilliant satire!

Almost. The past is real, and it informs us of a potential future.

Happy Father's Day!
