You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

Here’s a way to be happy!

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

Says The Felon. Since I don't live in the WH, I will continue to refer to The First Criminal as "The Felon"

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

DOD schools “operational compliance”. What does it take to cause your blood to boil?

www.stripes.com/theaters/eur... I didn't want to believe this when a student in the DOD school in Germany told me this:

calling it: this nike spot is the best one of the day

A favorite. She is free to express her religion. But should we pay for this?

I watched the audience of women and service members of all shades of skin. They were stiff upper-lipped as training and protocol demand. I cannot imagine being in that room. I doubt there is much respect for this unqualified Reserve Major who is clearly uncomfortable. As he should be.

Reminded how old I am.

Headed into the weekend, a gentle reminder that this whirlwind is specifically designed to make us feel exhausted, overwhelmed, resigned, & sapped of energy, and that it is more important now than ever to connect with your community. Hug your family, check on your friends, walk in your neighborhood.

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - there had to be separate bathrooms for blacks. The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

Probably a coincidence right?

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

In 2024, we invited you to take a peek at the terrible future Donald Trump would impose on America. That vision is now becoming a reality for us all, but we refuse to submit to his dark vision for our country.

“Now, as fears emerge Trump’s administration is ‘dangerously’ undermining the U.S. dollar, Musk has confirmed he wants to put the U.S. Treasury on a blockchain, the technology that underpins bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—including Musk’s pet project dogecoin.” www.forbes.com/sites/digita...

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Here's a photo of an elderly man just waiting for a sit-down.

Not the top result (people who died in plane crash) but knocked to #2. I have heard at least one story of a little regret but most of my friends probably didn't vote for The Felon.

Type "people who" into Google. The top result? "people who regret voting for Trump"

To our faithful public servants across America: HOLD THE LINE -- do NOT resign. Stay in your job, keep reporting for duty, and make them fire you. Because they CAN'T fire you - it's ILLEGAL - and we will stop them in the courts. WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.

Meanwhile.. in #Berlin 👇

I do think it’s super important right now and in the foreseeable future to really value moments of joy and to be intentional about making as many of them as you can

Watch the videos. See all his ink. He is no more mature than some 18 year olds. Unfit to serve.

…”issue guidance for the freedom to express the binary nature of sex”

Any idea what The Felon’s order to the Justice Dept re “freedom to express the binary nature of sex” means?

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.
