Where are all the libertarian shills now? Where were they over abortion rights and women's bodily autonomy? It's crickets. Always crickets. Don't ever buy their libertarian bullshit. It's all just racism with them.

Using political power to advance an idea is not "challenging an orthodoxy" (something that requires evidence that would convince experts). /1

Unpopular opinion: I'd like journalists to go back to doing reporting, and leave the big "think pieces" to people who have PhDs and can distinguish between historical/scientific fact and a bumper-sticker.

This is an Ezra Klein subtweet not limited at all to Ezra Klein.

Heโ€™s not just rage-postingโ€ฆ his followers are now filling his replies with memes about hanging and killing Democrats.

A sitting president amplifying โ€œHANG THEMโ€ and talking about โ€œDEATHโ€ penalties is gasoline on a fire he knows is already burning.

This is violent desperation.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children

They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to โ€œput your hands up, stupid!โ€

This is tyranny

These kids are traumatized

It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Our leaders and countless patriots have a good reason for publicly reminding US soldiers to refuse illegal orders. Why it's a controversy. It's because many of our soldiers have been obeying illegal orders.

Let's keep that foremost in mind

Republicans in Congress canโ€™t be counted on to condemn their leader calling for the execution of their legislative colleagues.

They are a profoundly pathetic and anti-American group of cucks.

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

This isnโ€™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.

Trump's use of stochastic terrorism may not be very predictable in outcome in terms of targeting particular people for assassination, but is highly effective in getting people to commit violence more generally...

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.

Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Not just the right.
The DUTY.
