Trump hasn’t stood in front of cameras and ranted about a trans shooter in the home state of Tim Walz and then his plans changed and he stayed in DC (which he hates) for a 3-day weekend, but I see no one in the national media asking why.

We need red flag laws.

We don’t need weapons of war on our streets.

I was just in Minneapolis and the city is lovely for sure, but the people made it better welcoming us with their kindness. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. We MUST do better. We must.

We cannot keep our children safe anywhere. We have failed them.

Younger people can and should be part of our government. They need a seat at the table because we sure as hell haven’t been able to fix this problem.

Congratulations. Now please do something real, immediately, about the fact that the VA News is soliciting veterans for ICE jobs. This is OFFENSIVE in the extreme. ICE is not about immigration. It’s about racism. And yes, I am a veteran.

It’s a volunteer job, so I won’t be taking any money for anything!

There are illegal orders and there are awful but lawful orders. @votevets.org and others are working hard to make resources available to the NG and AD members who have questions about whether or not their orders are legal.

I will certainly help organize veterans to speak out against this and elevate their voices. Veterans’ voices are very powerful on this subject.

Can you get to Minneapolis Tuesday, August 26th from 10:30-12:00? If so, please come and vote for some amazing people (and me!) for the Veterans and Military Family Members Council executive committee. This council *desperately* needs new leadership.

I truly thought Bed, Bath, and Beyond closed. I haven’t been in one of their stores in 15 years because I couldn’t take all that clutter and chaos so, yeah, makes sense the CEO is MAGA.

Janessa Goldbeck, a Marine Corps veteran, is now speaking for @vetvoicefoundation.bsky.social. Refusing to act on climate change hands U.S. rivals an advantage, she said.

UPDATE: I called Steve and asked him if he wanted to delete his post calling for the murder of my husband and me or should I have people call them all day and he hung up on me so I think that means he wants people to call his business all day.

Oh please do not repost this mischief. Whatever you do.

But if you do, sing "Ace Is The Place With The Hateful Hardhead Boss." Okay? Thanks.

Also call the FBI? I thought it was against the law to threaten people?
