Y'all were wondering which way the army would break. This is as clear an answer as you're going to get.

This isn't a mistake. It's a message.

Edit: cut out "During drills they were perfectly in time" because I don't have receipts to show. Linking to a longer video in a threads post that shows a bit more intense of a juxtaposition between themselves and the division in front of them. This thread makes the same claim about drills, but I also don't see video.

Edit: to clarify a bit, this is one division. The division in front of them in the longer video is in step. This isn't "the whole army is going to refuse" but this may be, "some units are fed up enough to make it clear they don't want to play, which is saying a lot."

Any division that exists needs to be cultivated. The way you cultivate that is absolutely not by lumping them all together. Some of the military voted for Trump, some don't care, some hate him. All of them are being treated like shit right now. All of them swore an oath to defend the constitution. Some of them probably know what that means.

I'm absolutely not a fan of the military, but I will take every opportunity I can to humanize these folks. Look for every opportunity you can to remind them that they are welcome on our side whenever they're ready to actually fulfill their oath, and we will appreciate every subtle bit of resistance they give to those who are violating it in the meantime.

A couple of months ago I posted a question about whether non-human animals had ever played tricks on you. There were loads of lovely stories, and I ended up drawing a few...

“My brother and I witnessed a ewe teaching her three lambs how to access the local refuse tip. She repeatedly showed them the technique. She would run head-on at the cattle grid, and at the last moment switch position to side-on, rolling over the grid and landing on her feet at the other side"

Came across this elsewhere, and it seems a good reminder of how the Civil Rights fight was actually won.

Successfully fighting for civil rights requires multiple parallel strategies, *and those "lanes" can't overlap*. Someone who's protecting people, for instance, needs to be squeaky clean, legally, so the baddies don't have a pretext to come after them and the people they're protecting--which means they can't be showing up to disruptive protests in person.

Good morning! I have thoughts about the internet.

Our society and its economic system is predicated on ableism.

The two cannot be separated or explained away.

Ableism is what makes all people, disabled or not, feel that they’re only valuable if they can produce.

Ableism is the main reason why people are sick, in burnout.
