‘Ordinary citizens do not want to be sent to a war with no end in sight’: Russian men consider exile.

Amid the threat of renewed conscription, some Russian men of fighting age have purchased plane tickets and are ready to leave if a general mobilisation is declared after the elections scheduled for 18 to 20 September.

Georgia, Armenia and Serbia are the most popular destinations.

Very significant news/analysis by @ehasbrouck about the lessening likelihood that automatic draft registration will start in December in the USA, but also thr need for continued vigilance and organizing

Excerpt: If the SSS doesn’t get new rules and procedures in place in time, its options will be to (1) miss the legal deadline, (2) get Congress to postpone the effective date of the change in the law, or (3) get Congress to rescind the change in the law. Congress could either restore the widely ignored mandate for young men to register themselves, or repeal the Military Selective Service Act entirely.

The bottom line: “automatic” draft registration is not yet a done deal. Keep up the resistance!

World War Two was the archetypal good war. And ask any liberal, FDR was the archetypal good president. But don't ask Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie -- The Almanac Singers.[1] They released Songs for John Doe[2] in 1941 and it's full of anti-draft, anti-war, anti-FDR songs, inspired by the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, the first peacetime conscription law ever enacted in the US.[3]

And are you afraid to fight, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Are you afraid to fight, charming Billy?
You can comе around to me when England's a democracy...

Tip for getting stuff like this out on Mastodon --- use more hashtags, especially for cities and states. Mastodon's searching function is pretty weak. It can be annoying but throwing in #HashTags can help to get a bigger readership, especially on topics like #Conscription.

And speaking of that: for folks in #California or who follow the #CALeg , please be sure and read the original post about an opportunity for action for #Californians who care about #Peace and #YouthRights.

Petition from #California residents to the state legislature:

Vote NO on SB1081 - automatic military #draft registration for driver's license applicants:
