It's no secret that the military has skewed toward the republicans for decades, but I have observed a steadily increasing number of right-wing christians in leadership roles at all levels since 9/11. It seems that the Fox-newsification of the military is about to reach its inevitable conclusion 🧐

Important perspective that is lost on most Americans. Tr*mp loves to talk about the "arbitrary line" between the US and Canada without acknowledging the fact that the southern border is every bit as artificial. Mexicans didn't cross into the USβ€”the US crossed into Mexico! πŸ€”

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

This x1000. The UCMJ requires you to follow *lawful* orders only 🧐

Some people have no sense of history πŸ§πŸ˜…

I am so tired of Nancy Pelosi 🧐

Some much-needed good news! πŸ€“

"I love a parade." – Egyptian President Anwar Sadat

I overwhelmingly call for southern baptists to mind their own gotdamn business 🧐

Amplifying this for all Marines with a conscience. Semper fi, y'all! 🫑

Hard to say it much more clearly than this 🧐

I am furious about Tr*mp's fascist actions in California 🀬 I just left voice messages with Texas Senator John Cornyn, Congressman Joaquin Castro & Texas Governor Greg Abbott 🧐 Ted Cruz's mailbox was full πŸ™„ Please consider making some calls to your reps as well πŸ™ 5calls.org/issue/nation...

To avoid tariffs, all you have to do is to make your product in America. Easy, right? Riiiiiight? πŸ€” youtu.be/3ZTGwcHQfLY

Life in Tr*mp's America 🧐

Fuckin A right. Those who have broken the social contract do not deserve an equal voice in any discussion 🧐

My dear friends in the military: You may soon face some serious ethical challenges. Please choose wisely πŸ™ warontherocks.com/2017/07/when...

Some much-needed good news: Gina Ortiz Jones has been elected as the next mayor of San Antonio, Texas! 🀠

I'm extra pissed off today, so I really need to post something nice for a change. Some genuinely good tips here. I figured out the thermos one on my own a few years ago πŸ€“ www.buzzfeed.com/hannahdobro/...

I read David Graham's new book, The Project, on the way home from DC yesterday. Kind of a snorkel-depth analysis of Project 2025 that left me wanting more information. I definitely got the impression that this was a rush job, but still worth a look πŸ‘

Hey NRA types and Second Amendment bubbas: This is what you've been waiting for all these years. Time to get on out there and stand up against tyranny like you promised! πŸ¦—πŸ¦—πŸ¦—πŸ¦—πŸ¦—

Well, this fucking well tracks 🧐

Seen in Reagan Airport. Cold War veteran? Hey, that's me! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ«‘πŸ€“

I've seen several examples of shrinkflation over the last few years. It's the main reason I've stopped going to McDonald's 🧐 www.buzzfeed.com/meganeliscom...

Who hurt you, little tree? 😯

Touring the National Portrait Gallery fills me with a sense of pride as an American. But I am also filled with rage thinking of those currently in power who despise knowledge and beauty. I have to believe there are more of us than there are of them and that goodness will ultimately prevail 🀞

Thomas Edison's 1878 tin foil phonograph in the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC. I'll never complain about my audio equipment again 🀯

0555L about to fly to DC for tomorrow's @unite4vets.bsky.social rally. Time to make some good trouble! πŸ€“
