I have faced death on foreign lands fighting for the ideals of this nation. Ideals in which many of us still believe. I'll face anything, and anyone, to fight for this nation here at home.

This is not "political." This is not "left versus right." This is freedom versus oppression. It is democracy versus tyranny. It is humanity versus depravity. This is a fight for our nation and its very soul.

I'll be with thousands of others on Saturday marching from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to call for the removal of this fascist regime. Something that, years ago, I never would have thought I'd have to say.

The president of the United States is now calling for his political opposition to be hanged. And that is merely the most recent in a blitzkrieg of offenses against this nation, against its people, against the world.

The reigns of our nation have been seized by pure extremists, open bigots, declared racists, violent misogynists, sex offenders. Our laws, our institutions, our rights, our freedoms, are being destroyed and erased.

Not simply a weapon with which to wage war and to kill—a warrior serves a purpose greater than themselves whether he or she is at war or the war is long over.

Zach is a former Reconnaissance Marine and Air Force Pararescueman who spent the majority of his career as a Tier 1 special operator. He embodies the true heart of the warrior. A word that’s been thrown around a lot today with few really understanding its meaning.

On any given morning, at undisclosed locations, one might find the two of us a couple of beat-up, middle-aged men long boarding along the asphalt way too fast like we think we’re a lot younger than we are, then talking over coffee about life, family, and purpose while nursing our inevitable wounds.

One of my best friends and brothers, Zach Marchun, gives a heartfelt interview on the meaning of the mission.

But yesterday, I was uplifted by this USA TODAY segment highlighting the awesome mission of nonprofit FORCE BLUE, which gives former special operations combat divers of all flavors a new form of service in marine conservation and a path toward healing.

"We can take what's going with ICE as a microcosm, where so much of America simply doesn't care about these people because they are, frankly, brown. And if Palestinians were not brown and predominantly Muslim, a lot more Americans would have cared a lot earlier on."

the Trump regime's brazen attacks against democracy and the rule of law, the rise and prevalence of fascism across American politics and society, and the personal and professional risks faced by those of us who speak out and refuse to kneel…

“I don’t see how Amazon can make a claim of not being complicit in killing,” said Bryant, who previously led civilian harm assessments at the Pentagon, “even if they don’t fully know what everything is used for.”

I provided analysis and research for this extensive report by @theintercept.com on Amazon’s involvement in Israel’s military apparatus and the use of its technologies in the war in Gaza.

I offered insight into the unprecedented resignation of the commander of U.S. Southern Command.

“I can only guess, and frankly hope, that his resignation was in protest,” said Bryant … “Time will reveal that, but I find his silence so far even more telling.”
