As a soldier, I swore to uphold the Constitution, not orders which violate the rule of law. I have great respect for Admiral Holsey, and great disrespect for Hegseth and Trump who call for us to be the the worst that we can be as a society. This is not the America for which I fought.

Beyond the self-dealing & broader corruption that have come to define this President & his administration. Not to mention weekly scandals & illicit activities. This [pardons stat] may help everyone understand, this presidency is no longer the executive branch of government but a criminal enterprise.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

Can we reclaim “woke”?! Shame on all the companies that caved and gutted DEI programs. Woke is being aware, kind, fair. It’s not berating, degrading others. Denying a female navy Captain (?)with stellar credentials for a well deserved promotion because she is female..juvenile, unbecomingly dumb 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🩷🍀

Right wing fascists would have us believe that hatred of Netanyahu and his government is antisemitic. It isn't, any more than hatred of Trump and his catch-farts is hatred of all Americans. Evil should be called out wherever it appears.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
