I'm sharing a paper that I wrote about the story of Pia Machita, a Tohono O'odham elder who led his village in resisting military conscription from 1940-1941.

It is a powerful story and one that brings to mind other moments of Indigenous resistance to the draft, including the Oklahoma Green Corn Rebellion.

FYI- the paper was first written for a class at Tohono O'odham Community College, but I did some rewriting on it after I turned it in.

A very important piece by @ehasbrouck about the folly of Trump even contemplating the use of military conscription for the US war against Iran.

#MilitaryLaw #Military #MilitaryConscription #MilitaryDraft

Even if team Trump wanted it, a military draft would be a fiasco

The option of conscripting Americans for military service in Iran may be 'on the table' but it won't work. Here's why.

The second session of our training for draft counselors is now available for viewing.

This session focused on the decisions that those facing the draft will have to make once a draft is called, as well as a discussion on what happens in a draft board hearing.

Our third session will be announced soon, but we anticipate it will be on May 3, 2026 from 1-3 p.m. at Joy Mennonite Church in Oklahoma City, as well as live via zoom.
