This is the biggest single day protest in US history.

Millions upon millions of people across the United States reject the Trump regime and fascism. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Admiral Holsey is a hero if true. The entire military leadership should question this current administration at once.
"It was unclear why Adm. Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure....But one of the U.S. officials...said that Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats."

It’s all ego with this guy. Even when he says things that could be construed as “good” (not saying this is btw) it’s just still pure ego.
