Care work is the quiet engine of this country, and our politics have never risen to meet the people who hold us through childhood, disability, illness, and aging.

He keeps “acing” these cognitive tests, as if they were the SAT or something like that, as opposed to some diagnostic to determine if 5150ing the rat bastard is the best course of action for his and our safety.

The death penalty grew out of this country’s brutal practice of lynching.
When lynching became politically and socially unpalatable, the death penalty became the state sanctioned alternative.
No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unjust, and cruel death penalty is NOW.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

In 1969, 74 Americans lost their lives aboard the USS Frank E. Evans.
Because of where the ship sank, those sailors have been denied the honor and recognition of being placed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
It is long past time to right that wrong.

No doubt fascinating stories here, especially in the first blips in 1880 and the early 1900s.

17 General Officers have been removed or have retired in nine months. I'm a former CIA officer – if I saw this in a foreign military, we would call that a purge.
