Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

So True. Wake Up, Stand Up, Together we can Respond, Support Ukraine and come out Stronger.

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible" The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today. snyder.substack.com/p/appeasemen...

"Operation Daybreak", a 1975 war film based on a true WW2 story, was on TV (UK) today. Lewis Gilbert, director, felt it came along "fifteen years too late... there was nothing in it for people to relate to." If only that were still the case... I cried 😿 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

French President Emmanuel Macron has invited European leaders to an emergency summit in Paris on Monday. The meeting aims to address challenges arising from recent discussions between Trump and Putin, and reflects the need for Europe to respond collectively to these developments. 

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

1972. The “I love you” at the end gets me every time…

It’s a Plan…
