Hands Off 2025

Preparing to get out and raise a voice.

The Secretary of Defense goes on tv to explain he is preparing to have the military break the law.

Another eerie world to sink into by @mikemignola.bsky.social Fabulously done.

Instead of just reading summaries on news sites, I highly recommend going through these executive orders and really absorbing the intent and language. It's fucked. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Both are good things!
