Don't be obedient in advance. Organize. Trump isn't 'breaking norms' but grifting, lying, and fronting for a Christian Supremacist, economic eugenic Project 2025

Another tragedy of Trump's making. The Guard has NO business in DC (or in any other city). Trump also has a court ordered deadline in DC

The @dcpolicedept.bsky.social don't have time for ride alongs and will now have to protect Guard members...which isn't their supposed purpose
D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack
If enacted on a long-term basis, the change would significantly shift the way National Guard troops have worked with law enforcement in the District since their arrival.

It's less 'bursts of anger' for Trump but ongoing and increasing irrationality. One thing dementia does is magnify and concentrate lifelong bigotry and deep ignorance. It's also Trump's inability to answer questions coherently or with any thought

Of course nurses are professionals. The only drive behind this asinine discussion is rampant misogyny. Nurses are also desperately needed all over this country

They do everything from assisting surgery, intensive care units and NICUs, rural medical care, home health, geriatric, schools...much more

It was the nurses who were the most help while I was going through double cancer treatments. I was so grateful for their professionalism and help. They work hard and are always on their feet. One saved my life as I was going into anaphylactic shock during a session of chemo.
