After the outpouring of support for our last video we recorded a followup to talk about just how important diversity is in our military. We recorded this before last night's tragic crash. The soldiers on the ground don’t care about this DEI moral panic. When the shit hits the fan, you only care that your battle buddy has your back.

It is, but just as an example of “one chapter” of it. Anyone opposing them can easily be said to be Antifa as well.

Check out our backstory here: https://continuetoserve.vet/

I can assure you, we as an organization, have been trying fully understand the context and implications of this since this came up under the first T' administration. Its a threat but it shouldn't stop you from considering your next steps and actions, which is exactly what they intend for it to do. The biggest mistake we, the royal we, as a resistance can make is to be caught flatfooted.

This is a clip from a panel discussion we organized, focused on what military service members can expect under a Trump presidency, specifically addressing what trans personal can expect:

If you are looking for inspiration, we @[email protected] just finished a 1.5 hour session with lawyers from NLG, historians, and activists to help service members understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to illegal orders potentially being issued by this administration.

We just uploaded it to youtube and its available here:

Hello, Continue To Serve family,

We want to thank those of you who’ve already signed up, and remind everyone about our upcoming event: the CTS Panel What is an Illegal Order? happening this Tuesday, January 7th at 9:00 AM. This is your last chance to join a discussion that could shape how you understand the rights of service members when faced with potentially immoral, unethical, or illegal orders. If you can’t make it, don’t sit this one out—follow our socials where we’ll post the recording.

At Continue To Serve, we’re dedicated to empowering our community to confront the complex social, ethical, and political dilemmas our country faces today. This panel features hard-hitting insights from veterans, legal professionals, and historians. If you know someone who needs this information, don’t hesitate—share it with them today.

This isn’t just a one-off call to action—it’s the beginning of something bigger. Now is the time to get informed, get involved, and take a stand. If you’ve served, your country needs you to step up and make a difference.

See you there, Continue To Serve

 

Apologies to the community for this taking longer to organize than we had hoped. However, we think we put together what we hope will be an engaging and useful discussion for current and former service members as well as their friends and families. If you know anyone who would benefit from watching this panel, please share the invite link far and wide.

Hey Lemmy,

We need your help. We've been asked to host a panel with the National Lawyers Guild which will be focused on helping US service members understand some basic questions around what is an illegal order, and what they can do if they believe they've been issued an illegal order.

We've got some questions so far, but we want more to come from the community. If you are a veteran, or current service members, or really any one concerned, what questions would you ask a panel of lawyers about the upcoming administration?

 

This is an interview we did with Don Lemon on the Don Lemon show. We organized a clean up of the DC streets after the January 6th insurrection, primarily so we could take down all the fascist and neo-nazi propaganda they had put up.

I would say it laid the ground work for OccupyWallstreet, which laid the ground work for modern progressive movement.

Partially because "peaceful" and the definition of what would or would not be accepted as valid protest became co-opted by the management/ ivy league class.

Compare the Seattle WTO protests to the 2003-2005 Iraq protests.
