Sad that we have to convince the value of access to subsidized or covered mental health services as a financial investment, but hey, if that’s how we have to pitch it!

Feeling overwhelmed by the daily whiplash in the news? It’s a strategy Steve Bannon calls “muzzle velocity”. Stay focused, don’t look at the sleight of hand that is happening to keep you from seeing what is actually occurring www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

At the top of my feed today, as a Canadian, I can confirm: it takes a LOT to piss me off but once I’m there, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” 😅

When a government decides to censor publicly funded journalism, the next step is privately funded media. Journalists, doctors, historians and academics, women and children that are attacked signify a deeper strategy to silence and purge freedom. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Something I learned way back in my early days as a broadcast and combat photojournalist in the Air Force is when you respond to questions you want to deflect, you stick to a script. Every time I hear Trump answer a question, he has an irrational script: anti #DEI, blame & shame, & instill fear 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Today marks 80 yrs of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Slowly, apathetically, with preference for unchecked power, history repeats itself unless we stop and learn from it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The actions displayed are not Christian, nor do they represent multiple dominant faiths. They are a deliberate political move to an extreme right agenda called Christian Nationalism. From @JenRubin open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Came home yesterday to find copies of our book had arrived. It was not an easy road, but I'm very proud of this. So weird to see my name on the cover of a book. I'm so grateful to everyone who has supported and believed in me!

#Hegseth as a potential SecDef will harm our military. Lie: “standards were lowered for women”. Truth: female service members are trained for ability and the many female Rangers and SOF I personally know were tested harder than their male counterparts. 🧵
