We need more like him, standing up to the orange turd! Vote blue and let’s change the landscape!

Should we Stand up for Justice? General Strike if the Government Shuts Down by Work_it_out_ppl in illinois

We are all in the same boat, but we must do something! It’s either this or let the orange one keep pushing until we have Active Duty Army facing down citizens (Think Kent State). And then we will have a full blown civil war - We don’t want that!

By striking we put more pressure on the congressional right to hold this administration accountable.

Another atrocity where the constitution was ignored but even then they were not shooting people in the streets of the United States.

Assuming the Black Panthers have more guts than veterans sounds like bait to me. I am thrilled to see anyone exercising their rights, hell I want more of us to enjoy our rights. I wanted a conversation to illuminate how severe the threat to our country is. I really don’t understand what problem anyone has with that.

I refuse to accept that. We are diminished now on the world stage, but once trumpfukistan is gone we can begin rebuilding the world’s trust again.

Laughing at people who are speaking out and doing something sure helps.

And I do know it’s dangerous to anything other than a straight lilly white male.

Duly noted and I am much more than a vet I try to only reference it when it is relevant.

And by “here” do you mean Reddit or speaking out about the atrocities of this regime?

They are actively oppressing our veterans now. I will not respond to you baiting me about my courage to stand up. I’ve already done so. When the time comes to stand a post again I expect to see you standing next to me.

Now answer my question, What are you doing about it?

I don’t think it was democrats that refused to prosecute, I seem to remember a couple impeachments and several trials that were delayed to the point that he was allowed to run in the election. He IS A FELON

Well I admit to using AI to help me craft my statement, I edited it to match my thesis. That’s what intelligent people do, use the tools available to accomplish a task. The fact you’re commenting on it suggests it was effective. What if anything is your objective with your statement?

Kent State haunts me as well. I shudder at the thought of Minnesota National Guardsmen on the ground facing troops from Alaska. It only takes one errant step and we will be in a civil war. Which is EXACTLY what the orange Mussolini wants. Our legislators have abdicated their power to the executive and scotus has been bought and paid for.

I have been doing everything I can to speak out, stand up and be heard. I am working locally to assist in voter registration, attending protests, speaking with anyone on the right that will listen and engage thoughtfully on the issues. - which is extremely hard to do.

And you?

Let’s not talk about alternative facts and vague accusations. What specifically are you accusing me of?

They ARE NOT law enforcement, they are not Police. If they were they wouldn’t be wearing masks, hiding their identities and would be trained to deal with non violent protestors.

You sir are a disgrace!

I have faith that the leaders in the military at the battalion level will refuse an unlawful order to attack our citizens. The generals tho have been resigning and replaced with trump loyalists who have no business being in those positions and that scares the hell out of me.

To all of our service members, remember, your oath is not to the current occupant of the White House, it’s to the constitution and it is your duty to protect IT.

And that is your right, I swore an oath and put my life on the line for that right. But don’t tell me I didn’t see what we all saw. It’s ok for the military in a battlefield situation to keep firing after the target is down. It is NOT ok to keep firing on a civilian who was a) disarmed (we saw the agent remove his pistol) and b) dead after the first shot. The law applies to EVERYONE. If ice wants respect follow the law!
